Just noticed chocolate oranges are down to 145g now down from 157g, which was down from 175g.

Rebranded to chocolate satsuma.

When they rebrand it to a chocolate kumquat we'll all be in trouble.

Kerrygold shaved 50g off the 250 block so now 200g of butter for £2.60. 20% size reduced no change in price.

Been that way for a lot of butter for ages.

One of the few (and I'm sure it will change) I've noticed that still sell @ 250g is Iceland's' own butter.

Sainsburys butter is still 250g. They price match Aldi with it too.

Haven't been to Sainsbury's for years.

I'll have to check Aldi the next time I'm there.

Serriously, people buy branded generic butter :confused:

Sainsbury's can be very good value as they price match but then sometimes you also get extra nectar discount of products you often buy

It shouldn't have Bovaer in it either.

I`m sure Kettle crisps used to be £1.99 for 150 gram bags. I bought one the other day and it was £2.65 for 130 grams. I guess next it will be £3 for 100 grams.

The first political party that bans shrinkflation gets my vote.

No more Quality Street bingeing for you! (+ your house now smells) :cry:

The way things are going.. might have to buy multipacks from Amazon and stock up rather than picking up one or two during the weekly supermarket run.

Absolutely. The "chocolate kumquat" is a particularly depraved sexual act that does not warrant publicising.
