These are six ways to make sure product sizes shrinking doesn’t inflate your spending — plus use your code to win £100k
HAVE you got that shrinking feeling?
More than 2,500 popular products have got smaller in recent years while their prices stayed the same, the Office for National Statistics says.
Chocolate bars, soft drinks, packs of tissues, disposable nappies and toilet rolls are among the products affected.
And last week The Sun told how sweets brands including Haribo and Maoam have also dwindled. Haribo Tangfastics, Starmix and Giant Strawbs bags now weigh 190g, down from 215g — with the same £1 price tag in most of the major supermarkets.
Maoam Joystixx packets dropped from 160g to 140g but rose in price from 85p to £1 in Asda, analysts at Brand View found.
Here we team up with topcashback.co.uk to show you how to make sure shrinkage doesn’t inflate your spending.
