Quantities

Hi all, have anyone noticed lately that quantities of some products have been reduced?
Went to Coles and grabbed some chocky bars but noticed that they have been reduced in size from 180 grams to 165 grams. I found some at 180 grams and bought them for $ 2.50 each, the big bars of 360 grams were $6.00. Last week the smaller bars were 2 for $7.00.
Also bought some Fluffy for the washing and noticed it has reduced in size from 1 lt to 900 mls but was half price at $4.00. Am sure last time I bought this it was $7.00 for 1 lt.
Oh well I guess we going to be inundated with higher prices as well as less quantities too.

Such things seem to have been happening for a long time, not only in our country. All over the world, the quantity of the product in the package is decreasing, and the cost is increasing. I was recently on a business trip to the UK, and to understand what and how much I was buying, I had to use the website https://ounces-to-grams.com/grams-to-ounces. And I noticed that many manufacturers also deceive customers about the amount of product in the package.

It really seems like all of us are spending more and getting less, unfortunately!
