I Lost 100 Grams  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758) 4 years ago

The large tins of NESCAFE COFFEE once were 500 grams.
NOW they are 400 grams at the same price.
Thats a 20% markup. I know petrol/gas has gone up but the price Nestles pay the growers for the beans there is no need for such a hike.

Ah, so it's NOT just my imagination! I haven't noticed this with coffee yet, but I have noticed with some other things I buy. The last was some breaded chicken I buy for Chicken Parmesan.

I looked and looked at that chicken patty and then said to my daughter "Am I totally mis-remembering or did these used to be a LOT larger?" Sure enough, she agreed and I was right.

That's very annoying, isn't it?! I guess they don't want customers complaining about the prices going up. Do they really think that no one will notice that the food/package/can is smaller? blink

Anyhow, I hope you're having a happy kind of day today, hiccup!

happy Thanks Katie,
They did this many years ago what the do is to down size the product but keep it at the same price as the larger size,
Like I showed a 20% hike on coffee , this will happen right across the board, and they will blame fuel costs.thumbup

Sounds like quite a big price jump. How much gas does it take for one box of coffee to get to you?


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  4 years ago

This is the newest style of saving money at the customer's expense! Make the product look cheaper but sell it in a smaller package!


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  4 years ago

about same size container, less contents sell at same price, bi profit. like this one 20%


myLot reputation of 90/100. olivemai (2765)   ranked 27 out of 154 in caffeine  4 years ago

Yes, this is the newest trend!


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  4 years ago

Nothing much we can do, maybe look for the marked down and the dicounted on special


myLot reputation of 90/100. olivemai (2765)   ranked 27 out of 154 in caffeine  4 years ago

We can buy in bulk whenever possible! That is one way to save!

most things are like that even if they reduce the weight by 5gr its still riping us off. I used to keep boxes for the kids to play shops. I found the box that we kept them in and I was suprised not only by the actual weight which I knew was happening but also that they were adding cheaper things as well. Say a jar of mashrooms had 43% water now it has 51%.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  4 years ago

You read the labels how smart is that, and a good what to be sure you are getting the best you can


myLot reputation of 95/100. violeta_va (2000)  4 years ago

you will be suprised how much they can get away with in a can of 450g 10% is 45g so by adding 45g water instead of produce they save so much money. somethimes you are better off buying name brand than store brand just for that reason.

Instead of raising the price of things, I think alot of the companies are reducing the size. I am seeing that with alot of items lately.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  4 years ago

Thats what they are doing, lees in the can at the same price they did thia some time back and did well out of it.
