CASE has discovered in its latest Grocery Price Survey that two brands have increased the prices of their products by reducing the quantity of product being sold while keeping the same or just slightly different packaging.
In one case, the quantity of detergent in each 5-kilogramme bag of Dynamo Laundry Liquid Detergent has been reduced by 300 grammes and its price raised by 75 cents, resulting in an increase in unit price.
CASE also found that the average price for Maggi Noodles (Curry Flavour) has remained the same even after the quantity of each unit had been decreased by 15 grammes – from 5s x 82 grammes to 5s x 79 grammes.
