Is it my imagination...

[tiggerblue10]

...or are the tubs of Ben & Jerry's and Haagen Dazs getting smaller?

[NazNomad]

I think your eyes are getting bigger ... lmao

[askyourgran]

Much smaller, it takes me only half the time to eat one.lol
Wagon wheels and penguin biscuits are also a lot smaller but cost more too,

[WhiteBears]

[tiggerblue10]

I should've gone to Specsavers!

I went to Tesco today and got 2 tubs of B&J for £2 each and they seem to be so much smaller a few years ago. I can now finish a whole tub of Choc fudge brownie and HD Belgian Choc in one sitting!!!

*than a few years ago.

Read this week that a lot of goods are being made smaller because rather than increase the price when the VAT goes to 20% in January, the sizes will be smaller and therefore the price can stay the same.

[tiggerblue10]

Why can't they just increase the price. At least then you can decide whether you can afford to buy it or not. Most people look at prices rather than weight.

[piggynose]

i thought the standard weight was 500gms, if this is true, then check next time you buy

We should start a new thread "Shopping items getting smaller but price stays same or goes up". I've got one. Iceland own brand pizzas. Same price £1 but smaller. Thought I was seeing things! Sainsburys used to sell these lovely breakfast bars. I stopped buying when the packet was the same size but the bar was reduced in size.

[CheekyChops]

According to Tesco website they are 500ml which is the same as they have always been.

You are just greedy, Tigger; well, me too. :-)
