Hiding price rises by cutting quantities

Arguably not a bad thing for junk food given the obesity crisis

I give you Kleenex.

100 tissues in a box a few years ago. Then they trimmed the size of the box, supposedly to help the environment. A little later they cut the contents to 80. Now there are 72 per box.

So, a 28% cut. Inflation is back up but things like this won’t be included or even noticed. It also explains why we keep running out.

Any others?

Happening with everything, they're taking the piss out of people and are allowed to get away with it.

If only, we could have avoided this thread.





I actually agree with you, chocolate bars are snack sized now, I'd rather just pay more.

People are fat because they over-eat and are under-active compared to previous generations, not because of what they eat (or what the food contains.) Nobody gave a toss about sugar when we all had active jobs, and they lived longer than we do.

The invention of the desk job started it, the increase in portion sizes put the final nail in the coffin. It's unbelievable how much food is served for one person when you eat out, nobody needs that much food in one sitting.

Are you going to tell us how much a box of 72 is compared too 10? Or do we have to guess??

10 is cheap? Are you talking about the little packets?

Beer now has less alcohol content

Don't think that one's true mind.

When I was a youngun I seem to remember most decent beers were around the 3.5% - 4.0% range. Seems like the majority are upwards of 4.5% now

Chocolate bars and biscuits.

I think it will continue, all profiteering and the government will do absolutely nothing to prevent this.

Do you honestly think the government should be leaping into action to sort this out or is this a whoosh???
