High expectations from that bucket load of sweets you used for the photo OP.
This is more the reality though.

Always amazes me people on here whinging about being rip off on these, yet in really terms these sugary products are cheaper than ever. These tins used to be much bigger but were also more expensive, most people used to have to buy then through hamper companies or catalogue companies and pay weekly to even afford a tin at Christmas. Now people pick up a couple with their weekly shop.

Good spot family guy perhaps the OP has hijacked a 1980's image from google images :laughing:

It's not, the tin has a white rimmed lid (I know cos I bought one yesterday lol)
This is not such a great deal when the tin which is almost 1.3kg is £7 from Tesco :smiley:

724g is £4 in Asda so not much comparison

Yes the tins are much much smaller over the decades but so are the prices. Back in the 80's those large tins were about £10

You don't need a picture to remind you that you are being ripped of Britain :wink:

Exactly! It's such a boring and ignorant argument. With inflation, those large tins were the equivalent of over £20.
Showing up as £7 for me (prime) but dispatch 1-2 months

Great find! Pity it's usually dispatched in 1-2 months though...

It does not matter what the product is... but these tins are a great example of consumer perception
Buyers perceived they are getting ripped off and watching the tins get smaller each year just reinforces that view
Oh.. some will sit and work out the cost reflecting inflationary changes but most won't...or want to and blame it squarely
on the rip of Britain brigade... I do :wink:
