When did clothes pegs become shit?
Doesn't matter where you buy them from, they fall apart in moments.
Also...shoe laces have suddenly, over the last 36 months, become crap...

Shook my head in despair last week as the 12yr old girl in front of me at the Centra checkout bought a Yorkie bar...

"Remember when there was 2ltr bottles of but now it's 1.75 ltr same price same great taste  "
"Shrinkflation"
Brought about as supermarkets demand round price points
€1
€1.50
€2
Etc.
So if your product is fixed at €1, but your costs rise by 5c a year, then you eventually have to shrink what you offer to cut costs

Usually burn the 1st one on the grill and drop another at some stage |

As a naive newbie here a few years ago I kept getting will you peg me messages. In my innocence I presumed they had some sort of clothes pegging fetish. A quick Google eventually gave me the answer. |

Killeen used to sell fantastic clothes pegs made from polypropylene that were virtually indestructible. Some of the old fashioned hardware shops in West Cork still have them in stock apparently. |

I buy the sharing bags and my partner has them stolen and all eaten before I even take a notion for them.  |

"And where can you buy 10 eggs? I don't need a dozen, just 10.
You can buy packs of 10 eggs ...i actually thought that they'd decreased the quantity and kept the price the same."
Suppose I just wanted 9, what then?  |

"The ever shrinking multi pack choc bars.
They should re-lable as sweet size
They aren't smaller they are diet bars."
I've no problem with that, but they should sell the non diet versions as well and let us decide which we want. Plus I'm sure a non diet one would be a lot cheaper than 3 diet ones... |

I used to run a warehouse stocking more than 10,000 different product lines and every week 100 lines had to be recoded because of a 2-5g difference in pack size designed to keep prices unchanged.
Multipacks were the worst because everyone wanted the £1 deals and that was the only way of doing it. |

That's it...similar point to the one i made above on price points
And remember the actual product (biscuit, crisps) only makes up 30% of the costs
Packaging, profit, distribution, marketing, store profit...can't easily be changed so the producer reduces the number of biscuits/crisps/etc in a packet |
