Doritos Multipack Sneakily down from 6 to 5 Bags!
Other
I guess this is the opposite of a deal: I noticed in Asda that Doritos multipacks now have only 5 bags, for the same price as the previous 6. I think this is a bit underhand. Same in Morrisons. Just thought I'd give a heads up, as it's not immediately obvious that they've done this.
I've never even tried a dorito to be honest. I hate it when they make things smaller for same price though. Too few things are in packs of 5 we have 5 people so often look for 5
This happens all the time and on more products than you could imagine. It's a kick in the teeth every time.
Another sign of 'shrinkflation'.
As tumblespots says, it's happening with all products atm. The worst offenders imo are the chocolate bar manufacturers who say that they reduced the size of the bars to combat obesity. Funny how the price hasn't come down to compensate for consumers getting less
That's okay I can have a few packs to keep me going whilst I use my electron microscope to locate a normal size sneakers bar.
I've seen Walkers crisps with only FOUR bags in a multi pack. The last multi pack of 6 bags baked crisps the bag was only a quarter full, looked more like crumbs.
I know its not just crisps - but I have noticed that they have crept up in price quite a bit recently, or at least the offers are a lot less generous than they have been. Walkers 24 pack was often available for £3 now its £4 at Tesco. Quite a few of the multipacks have jumped up by 25p recently too. We go through a lot of crisps and its getting harder to get decent bargains (avoiding the cheaper Tesco own brand).
I’ve noticed this too - I used to easily find packs with 8 in them which was ideal, but then it went down to 6 and now 5 or even 4 in a few cases. It’s frustrating because it means you have to buy more to get through a week. My household eats a lot of crisps.
I’ve never bought a multipack of Doritos before, but I will watch out fir any changes that may become of the sharer bag sizes
