Some prices not rising but it is still inflation
« on: September 10, 2011, 11:51:40 am »
Has anyone noticed the size or weight of products is being reduced.
This way the manufacturers sell less of something but at the same price. 
In Sainsburys two weeks ago, a 400g pack of sausages was £2.59. 
Now the same pack weighs 375g and the price is still £2.59 but representing a price rise of 6.5%.
