The Latest Supermarket Rip-Off

[chrissa1]

As a lover of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, I'm always on the lookout for bargains. In Sainsburys on Saturday, I saw what looked like a brillant deal - BOGOF at £1.99. I bought six.

It was only when I got them home and was tucking into one, that although it was the same size in area, the chunks were smaller and in fact the weight was 200 grams instead of the 230 grams that size of bar usually weighs.

Now they're not breaking the law, but you assume that the weight is the same.

The public being taken for suckers again.

2008 saw the 250g CDM bar reduced to 230g...

Very interesting ABerrant.

So how many have you got left Chrissa?

Since they were bought by Kraft, I've tried to avoid Cadbury's products, though the grandchildren still love their buttons.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, three and a half. I have to eat more because my taste buds are telling me that I'm not getting the correct amount of lushness in my normal 8 squares, because they're smaller..... Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Lol.

[chrissa1]

Can't be doing with that zebo. It still tastes So good, whatever it's called.

For sweets and chocolate I use 65p per 100gms as a basic price. Anything above that, I question whether it's worth paying for. Anything below that, I question the quality!
