Thousands of products on supermarket shelves are coming in smaller packages, despite prices remaining the same, according to a new report, writes Joe Leogue.

A study conducted by the UK’s Office of National Statistics (ONS) has found that 2,529 products had decreased in size between January 2012 and June 2017 — with many of these products also on sale to Irish consumers.
