Bloody Vegemite.
Oct 24th, 2014 at 5:19pm
 
Has anyone else noticed that a 400g jar of Vegemite is now 380g?
Same size jar, just less contents. (5% less.)

The 600g is even worse, now 560g.
Again, same size jar. (just under 7% less.)

Except when "On Special", the price has remained the same.

If there isn't a law against this sort of thing, there should be.

Not a Happy Little Vegemite, here...

Yeas...the buggers are up to it everywhere. I quite like Cream of Chicken Soup (with Croutons.)  Came in a 'box' containing four sachets of the powder.

Now.......two sachets.

Used to make my own beer, guess I wasted all that yeast by throwing it out....

I went to buy some just the other day.

350g is now 330. I'll eat that in no time.

And no, the price didn't alter.

Same story as Baked Beans etc.

Smaller tins same price.

Damn.... even beer they are prone to change sizes of stubbies ..Old 375Ml are replaced by 330Ml by some manufacturers

Even worse they change the alcohol strength and charge much the same

Dont tell cods about the above she will think I am a pisspot!

Beware the Nescafe 43 Blend coffee 300g jar, which sometimes morphs into a 250g jar.

its only yeast extract mixed with some vegetables, they used to throw it away until someone caught on that you could convince the public its good for you, one of the greatest cons ever. I can tell you, I never ever crave vegemite when I am overseas.

size does matter...

think about the things that dont have size on them...

my big gripe is paper products.. toilet paper tissues paper towel..

yes they say how many sheets...if you take a magnifying glass with you you may find it somewhere on the packaging.....

but sheets size thickness...we have.no idea.. and you will find you are paying more and more for less and less...this is why we cant always balance our books...toilet rolls are doozies.. the cardboard insert is getting larger and larger..and the roll is getting narrower and narrower..and the ply thinner and thinner..

tissues are the same.. the box doesnt change you can rattle in the tissues in them..

It is everything - I remember when a big mac was big and a bag of chips had more chips than air.

dont buy it, make your own, eat at home. I refuse to be a victim of consumerism, I decide what I eat, not Mcdonalds or Coles or woolworths. Just because its on the shelf doesnt mean you have to buy it.
