A frugal life is an easy life!

Less product for more or the same price, increases costs on everyone. It is a great way to hide inflationary or above inflation price rises, from the average person.

I will add to this post as I come across goods that show companies are taking the British people for fools, by charging a higher price or the same, for less product!

Monster munch - Now more than 40p a bag, for just 9 crisps in a packet!
Fairy washing up liquid - Used to be 1 litre bottles for a pound, (on offer in supermarkets) - then it dropped to 750ml three months back, today it is just 650ml per bottle for a pound as a "special offer" in asda - product size is close to halving, which represents a 35% increase in price (Inflation is at 3.5% per month?)
