Also, prices on shelves are bumped up by 10p, as an example, when going through the self-service checkout.
Stealth charging customers more is rife at present.
Keep an eye out everyone.

Shrinkflation - and often the pack/box size remains the same to give the impression you're getting the same amount as before so it's always important to check the weight.
