Sainsburys basics washing powder shrinks in size!(but not price)

A question about : Sainsburys basics washing powder shrinks in size!(but not price)

For those who buy Sainsbury's basics washing powder:
The big box used to be 3Kg for Ј1.64 and 1Kg for 65p. They have reduced the size of pack - 2.4Kg and 800g for the same price !!

I found today that the shelf filler had not noticed the change and had put 800g on top of the old 1kg packs. So have a rummage and you might find a bigger pack. It's even cheaper per g to buy 3 x 1Kg packs rather than 1 x 2.4Kg pack.

Best answers:

• Yes everything is shrinking in size. Most washing powders are smaller in size, cereals as well. Also check out the frozen foods in your freezer the newer packets are also smaller. For example at Tesco:-
  Fairy non bio.
  A few weeks ago this was Ј9.96 for 4.18 KG
  the other day it was Ј10.49 for 3.36 KG
  Tesco cooquettes
  The old packs were 1KG now they are down to 750g same price.
  An increase of 34%!
