Not very happy.....

Countess try Aldi or Lidl next time

Well, I received as a gift a bottle of french scent; it had to be ordered online as the department stores which once stocked it have disappeared, and there was some difficulty with the order. The English headquarters of the French manufacturers was contacted; the Frenchman who answered spoke perfect English, sorted out the problem and the scent duly arrived.
The bottle, inside a decorated box, was in turn encased in a white cardboard box tied up with ribbon, and a small drawstring cloth bag containing half a dozen samples. Everything wrapped in white tissue paper, and it arrived the next day.
True luxury.
Thank you Guerlain.

Given that most supermarkets are actively reducing their plastic usage - think the multibuy cans of tuna no longer in plastic wrap - why not challenge the supermarket themselves? Naturally, they might not realise but I doubt it very much.

Always better to buy a bar of chocolate.

We once bought a pot of face cream, large(ish) box, large(ish ) pot, turned it upside down and the bottom of the pot was halfway up.

It’s all about the weight of the product, if they can cheat on that, they will.

…..or send the manufacturers a little message requesting they stop being so mean with the choccies or at least ditch the unnecessary packaging and perhaps reduce the price.

It’s worth a try CountessFosco

So moral of the story don’t buy expensive things from posh supermarkets …. Simples
