Did you notice nowadays when you go to the supermarket..you pay same price on the food or household products you need and you found out when you cook that the amount is less than what you paid before? I mean on chicken patties, like laundry detergent etc..what is happening now " trick or treat "??

In my country, if the label says 200 gr, it must have that or you can go with the goods to a place where the consumers may get people to defend them. It´s not done because a lawsuit from them would be a lot worse than what they earn from cheating.
At the super, products are also labeled with a tag at the shelf and it has to say the name and brand of the product and the price of a kilo of it. That way you won´t think that something that "looks" cheaper is really so.

Yes and sometimes the manufacturers keep the same packaging but put less in it for the same price! It is very frustrating to me!

Yes, I seem to have notice that also. We have surely seen that our economy right now is getting worst. Many people have no jobs, many companies gave closed. There are a lot of factors that affect the situation and it all ends up to us consumers. I hope that things will change and that we will be able to withstand the situation.

What I have noticed such things.
for example, buy something and it is 200 grams and 180 grams do get.
and pay the same price that is not fair.
I can say that this is another trick to make us earn more money.
nice day!
