Deception in size and prices

Many off the shelf items have had their size changed for examples:
We found Anchor and Lurpack butter in 400gm packets instead of the normal 450gm and some were shown as a special offer! Yoghurts now in smaller containers and prices moving towards those of the original size. We found Pringles in smaller packets than usual so are suspicious about the future! 'Bars' like Mars, Coconut, Snickers are all smaller than they used to be and have been for a while. Of course the ultimate was jam jars becoming small from the original 1lb jars but many of you will not remember that. Re prices many have been increased and a bottle of Scheppes Indian tonic water was £1.75 today but £1 not so long ago. 24 Oxo cubes cost £3.10 today my last ones costing £2.50 . We like Hagen Daas ice cream and were buying the praline tub at £3.50 but recently it cost £5.00 and today £5.25 so we do not buy it anymore as that much ice cream is just not worth the price.
I feel that supermarkets and their suppliers are not being fair to us consumers.
