Cadbury shrinks size of Dairy Milk Freddo multipacks
However, arguably one of the most popular Cadbury chocolates is its Dairy Milk Freddos.
The price of Freddos has been a major talking point over the years.
The popular chocolate used to be 10p, but recently it has risen in price and is now on sale in supermarkets for up to 40p (Sainsbury's).
Cadbury shrinks size of Freddo multipacks
Now, Freddo multipacks have been hit by shrinkflation.
Cadbury has shrunk the size of its Freddo (5x18g) and Caramel Freddo (5x19.5g) multipacks by 20%, according to The Grocer.
These multipacks disappeared from Tesco stores in May and have recently been replaced by Freddo 4x18g and Freddo Caramel 4x19.5g multipacks.
Despite the change in size, the price has remained the same at £1.40.
The original 5-packs of Freddo chocolates are still available in some supermarkets, including Morrisons. (Image: Morrisons) Both the old and new versions of the Freddo multipacks are available at Morrisons (at the time of writing), on sale for £1.40.
While Sainsbury's still has the original multipacks of five available, both for £1.40.
Cadbury reveals reason behind change to Freddo multipacks
A spokesman for Cadbury owner Mondelez International, speaking to The Grocer, confirmed the change to Freddo multipacks was made due to "significantly higher input costs".

The spokesperson explained ingredients like cocoa and dairy cost "far more" than they have done in the past and energy and transport prices "remain high".
They continued: "This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges.
'As a result of this difficult environment, we have had to make the decision to slightly reduce the weight of our Cadbury Dairy Milk Freddo multipacks so that we can continue to provide consumers with the brands they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect."

Gardeners are snapping up fruit trees for £2 & it'll give you months of homegrown raspberries & blackberries
GREEN-fingered fans are going wild for penny-pinching plants that are as tasty as they are pretty. Customers are taking advantage of the purse-friendly fruit trees on offer from a huge retail store. 1 Supermarket giant Morrison's are selling three Flourish & Joy fruit plants for just £6 - making them £2 a pop. Customers can choose from thorn-free blackberries, Buckingham variety Tayberries and Allgold autumn raspberries. Fans on the Gardening UK - Hints, tips & advice Facebook page have rated the popular plantations. One user commented: "Good bargains, happy gardening." A second recommended: "Blackberries are nice although take a bit of space and can be slow to ripen. "Raspberries are sweeter and have heavier crops." A third budding gardener added: "I've always fancied getting some of them, but it's like squirrel city in my back garden." If you're looking to buy a fruit bush or two, then consider where it is going to grow. Raspberries thrive in locations that provide a combination of sunshine, well-drained soil, and some degree of shelter. While they can tolerate partial shade, they produce the most abundant and sweetest fruits in full sun, preferably at least six hours of sunlight a day. Award-winning face of Sainsbury's and Morrisons ads dies aged 77 as family share emotional tribute Blackberries thrive in a location with full sun or partial shade, in well-drained soil that is moist but not waterlogged. They also benefit from being trained up a support structure like a trellis or fence. With the sunshine season almost upon us, the fruity additions are fantastic affordable options for gardens and outdoor spaces this summer. But as the sun comes out, so do common garden pests. Green and black flies, commonly known as aphids in the gardening world, can be found on both indoor and outdoor plants. If ants are causing problems in your garden or finding their way into your home, some of the best natural deterrents involve strong citrus scents. You can use garlic to keep green flies off your plants and cupboard staples to get rid of garden ants. Lemon is a particularly effective method; you can mix lemon juice with water and spray it around ant trails to keep them away. While snails and slugs are common in gardens across the UK, they can cause significant damage to garden plants. Coffee grounds and eggshells could help keep slugs away from plants. If your problems are more rodent-based, natural ways to deter rats from your garden include citronella oil and onions.

I'm saving 10 years on mortgage using app at Tesco and Morrisons
A homeowner is on a mission to be mortgage-free by the time she turns 40 – and is using a shopping app to help her achieve her goal A couple have been using a shopping app to shave a decade off their mortgage. Ellie Boyle is on a mission to be free from her mortgage by the time she hits 40, and has turned to the Sprive app to convert cash rewards from her shopping into overpayments on her mortgage. The 36-year-old and her husband Colin, from Solihull, say they are dedicated to making regular additional payments towards their mortgage. They earn around 50p back from each transaction, which adds up to an extra £40 to £50 a month towards clearing their debt. The Sprive app's bosses say it entices users with cashback incentives when they shop at various retailers, allowing them to funnel these savings straight into mortgage repayments. The couple are determined to slash their mortgage term significantly, contributing roughly £2,000 in overpayments every month. For her grocery runs to Tesco and Morrisons, Ellie makes use of the perks of the app. Colin accrues rewards through his Uber trips to work and back twice daily. Having reaped the benefits of Sprive for about 18 months, Ellie said: "It is nice and easy. All the accounts are all connected, even when buying any of the giftcards through Sprive, all the bank accounts are connected so it's a fairly straightforward process once it's set up." Their drive to eradicate their mortgage stems from a personal cause – Colin suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease. That makes financial stability an essential aspect of their future planning, reports the Manchester Evening News. He works as a maths teacher but, being registered blind, foresees having to give up his role in the foreseeable future. Ellie explained: "That's the main driver for wanting to pay off the mortgage. "It's so we don't have an additional bill round our heads when that time does come. Then we've got a little bit more freedom and flexibility, the only thing we need to support are the bills then and any other outgoings." Ellie and Colin took their first dive into the property market in 2013 with a £145,000 mortgage, later moving homes in 2018 - which saw their mortgage swell to £202,000. They also secured a £35,000 loan to finance a loft conversion. Sprive customers earn cash rewards from brands like Greggs, Amazon, M&S, Caffe Nero,and Airbnb. One Sprive user said by using the app that they managed to reduce their mortgage payments by approximately £2,500 each month, also trimming three years off their mortgage term. The app doesn't stop at helping with savings, the firm says. Sprive users can also get professional advice on remortgaging to secure the best available deals. The app's reach extends to well-known companies such as Deliveroo, Halfords, IKEA and Asda for cash rewards.

Aldi named UK cheapest supermarket - Tesco, Asda and more ranked
The consumer experts' monthly analysis for a basket of 82 essential items revealed that the total price of a shop at the discount retailer came in at £21.23 less than Morrisons, as well as being cheaper than Sainsbury's by £20.11, and less expensive than Tesco by £16.87. Even when using a Clubcard or Nectar Card - Aldi was still the cheapest. The Which? research said shoppers could have saved almost £2,000 by choosing Aldi over Waitrose over the past year. The full May 2025 results are below: Supermarket prices are now 3.5% higher than a year ago, up from 3.3% in February after falling from 3.7% in December, according to analysts Kantar. The British Retail Consortium has said it expects food inflation to hit 4% by the second half of the year amid geopolitical tensions and a £7 billion increase in costs from the autumn Budget. Firms across the retail sector have warned over the cost pressures of soaring staff bills after Labour announced a increase in national insurance contributions (NICs) for employers and minimum wage rise, both from April 1, in its recent Budget. Recommended reading The NICs increase is designed to help pay for improvements to public services like the NHS, but retailers have criticised it for making it more expensive to hire people. A number of large firms, including Sainsbury's, axed jobs in the first weeks of 2025, with some of the cuts at the supermarket understood to be linked to the increase in NICs. Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, says: 'We are proud to retain this position of cheapest supermarket for an incredible 19th month, allowing our shoppers to save their money for other life essentials.'
