there is definitely two different sizes of Pringles tube now. a smaller one that is more like the old price, while the larger aka normal one has edged up and up. sometimes you can't even see at first glance due to shelf placement that one is smaller so you think it's a bargain... cheeky fuckers.

Schmackos dog chews are still 20 in a pack, but the actual chews are much smaller. Not that the dog gives a fuck.

I bought some cadbury fingers today. Just opened them and they look noticeably smaller.
Have they shrunk?
Also, literally half my revels were Maltesers (50% air)

Then there's all the skimpflation going on where corporate manufacturers whittle away that the quality, expensive ingredients in a product and pad out with cheap shite. You're not alone in thinking Colman's mustard was stronger and less salty when you were a kid; it's proper shite now. Also noticed my Aldi "Bramwell's" 'Real' Mayo now, suddenly has less egg yolk in it...probably the same amount of egg, but not the yolk.

heckling from the back!
Radox shower gel is now in a standing bottle - but only 125ml compared to the 150ml for the hanging bottle.
[not sure if there's been a price reduction to match, but I doubt it, I tend to get some of our supplies form the cheap / pound shops - used to be two for a pound]

I have noticed often recently they don't have the right coloured lid as well. also 'New formula!' - which probably means an ingredient got too expensive/hard to get.

Good, hopefully it keeps shrinking until it disappears completely. There's always chipboard as an alternative for those so inclined.

My dad used to cut out and keep the ingredients lists from the packaging of his favourite items, it was quite revealing over the years.

I ended up buying a massive tub or Lurpack in the Iceland section of The Range for like £6 the other day. Its ridic but felt about as much 'value' for money as you can get with Lurpack nowadays.
This just happened to me
Shoppers' fury as Anchor and Lurpak butter shrinks in size
People buying Lurpak butter have noticed that the size of Lurpak and Anchor had mysteriously been reduced from 250g to 200gwww.birminghammail.co.uk
Annoying as cakes and bakes often require >200g of butter and if you don't notice when you're buying could end up short.
Usually use cheap own brand butter for baking but they only sell Anchor (or a locally produced one that's too salty for baking) in the village shop.

Just enjoyin' my coffee.
Add that to butter in tubs already having a high water content plus vegetable oils they add to make it more "spreadable". On average spreadable butter contains about 30% less butter than non-spreadable.

Don't forget all the pushy advertising campaigns that have to be paid for - both the salary of fancy executives & developers {who do the actual work for a pittance} plus the costs of prime time advertising and the people who "sell" those slots.

I'd support any/all UK supermarkets doing the same as Carrefour in France.
They are highlighting products that have shrunk.

Also - reading that was the first time I'd come across the phrase 'skimpflation', which made me smile/cry/shake my head
