Not happy!

They should be calling them mini now. Is this how their getting around the whole shrinkflation? Bring out a new product?

I'm doing everything I can to shop everywhere other than ColesWorth.

Anyone have any good Aldi ice creams they can recommend?

    They've got marginally bigger. Might be time to start calling them maxi.

      How did they get bigger if each one went from 86.5ml each to 63ml each?

        I'm clearly in need of more good ALDI branded coffee

          I had a cup of the medium roast this morning but be careful, you might trigger Clear with that kind of comment!

    at least inflation is controlled! prices aint going up, u just need to buy more

  • Sammy2000 on 07/12/2024 - 10:19

    On the surface, they reduce the size or amount in the packet and either increase or maintain the price. However, doesn't it cost the business money to redesign the external and internal packaging, and to rebuild or purchase different manufacturing systems for the new item?

      Prob getting the work experience intern team to do it overseas

      Two more sticks means additional stick & wrapping weight which means less choc and cream in the box, less the 865ml to 756ml downsize. Sneaky!

    First ingredient is water… If you're going to buy ice-cream, why not actually buy ice-cream?

      You do know what ice is made out of, right?

        Doesn't milk have >80% water,too?

        Methamphetamine.

      I reckon the biggest market would be for parents on low budgets. It's cheap and the kids might think they're actually getting ice cream.

    Down Down.

    These days there must be close to SFA in a bag of potato chips

    made in New Zealand and very yummm

    Whinge of the week!

    • cfuse on 08/12/2024 - 10:53

      Week isn't over yet, too early to crown a winner.

  • cfuse on 08/12/2024 - 10:54

    The title makes me wish I'd spent more time paying attention in maths class.

    ml?

    WW have gone from 10 to 9 Choc Ice cream Stick, and dropped 200ml per pack and upped the price.

    Don't bother me much, but the Boss has gone Ballistic.

      Thanks for the heads up I hadn't checked that one. We just got an Aldi so I'm slowly buying more from them as I find out what they have and their costs. ColesWorth has lost hundreds of dollars a month from me.
