I imagine apple pies and squirt squirt are available for less money in Aldi. Morrisons are never going to be the cheapest place to shop Edited August 16, 2023 by fools 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are advertised as 59g on that link, wonder if that's wrong or the change has only just happened? I bought them because on the price tag it said Was £2-50 Now £1-50. And I'll bet the £2-50 ones were 59g. So their lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So their lying. It's not half the size though in any case, it's just over a 10% reduction 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bloke Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hmmm... At the risk of posting something rather mundane on this otherwise stimulating thread... ... but has anyone noticed a discrepancy in the number of digestive biscuits Aldi are now putting in their packets? The packets are clearly marked as 400g, but the number of biscuits you get in a packet often varies. Now before anyone starts, no I'm not the OCD obsessive type who counts the number of biscuits in a packet... ... it's just that I like to have a couple of biscuits with a cuppa, and I've noticed that most of the time I can finish a packet without any undue fuss, but sometimes there's only one left in the packet! And yes, I keep my digestive biscuits secure and safe from being tampered with by any inquisitive individuals, human or animal! So either Mr Aldi is occasionally prone to losing count as he's filling the packets, or more likely, the weight of an individual biscuit varies so much that any standard deviation anomalies are compensated for by the weight of a single biscuit. I've not taken my research any further at this moment in time, but obvious future investigations would include actually weighing each packet and not believing what's published on the wrapper, and of course, counting the number of biscuits in each packet to determine if a biscuit has been added, or as I suspect, surreptitiously removed...
