The groceries shrinking and getting more expensive

There’s no other way to describe the following other than “An outrageous price rise by stealth”.

For some time I have purchased protein bars by NOWAY such as

Woolworths sell them, not Coles. The standard piece is 60 gms and sells for $4.95, but often it’s discounted by 30% to $3.45

The tasted very good when compared to other protein bars and are ideal for gluten free folk like my Mum, who can’t find GF foods that are both tasty and low in sugar and also ideally low in fat.

Today I again visited Woolworths. I saw new flavours in place of old ones.

I bought one, Marshmallow, for $3.45

It tasted OK, nothing special, but seemed a tad light when compared to what I recall from earlier purchases.

When I looked closely I saw that it, like the other flavours now available (in place of the flavours formerly available) is only 45 gms. That is a whopping 25% LESS in weight than those previously (maybe a month ago) available for purchase.

But selling for the same price.

For shame on Noway.

Maybe it’s time for consumers to say “No way” to "Noway!
