More compact packaging, I think they call it, Dawn. So in answer to your question, I think Yes, they have. I stocked up on a couple of boxes recently when they were offering 25% extra free. ( probably the same size as it was previously) Gwyn

Gwynn the box looked a lot smaller but was the same price and dont have one at home to compare it to as I tip it into a bigger box when I get home as makes it easier for me.

Now if it was the size of Beer bottles, Wine Bottles, Bacardi Bottles I could understand your concern............lol

It should have the weights on the boxes. Are they the same? Gwyn

Duh Didn't read that you don't have another box.... sorry. One becomes used to handling / seeing a certain size so you are probably right. Don't know enough about beer bottles to make a comment. Gwyn

Paul

Paul Report 10 Jan 2007 16:52

what about the softenor then???............where do we go here

Paul

Paul Report 10 Jan 2007 16:52

yes but powder could mean you over use and therefore overspend unecessarily, which means ultimately less beer money............therefore tablets whilst conforming always give a precise amount, measured accurately by a man and give more long term savings.................here endeth the lesson

Gwyn in Kent Report 10 Jan 2007 16:53

Tablets make you conform to adding a given amount of powder.....probably decided by a man. Powder gives one...freedom ..lol Gwyn
