LIDL has made a big change to one of its household essentials – and customers are not pleased.
The bargain supermarket has reduced the ply of its Florayl toilet paper.
Shoppers were sad to discover the quality of Lidl’s loo roll had changed
One angry shopper noticed the change at his local Lidl
It used to be 4 ply but it is now labelled as 3 ply – and the price has stayed the same at £3.09.
One disappointed shopper noticed the change and posted his discovery in Facebook’s Extreme Couponing and Bargains group.
Shoppers took to the comments to share their frustration.
One said: “I noticed this the other day because it felt different that’s so cheeky.”
While another said: “Crafty. They are all at it.
“Reducing the size of everything in the shops.
“Still get charged the same or more.”
Another said: “I’ve used this religiously and was so annoyed when I bought it last and knew something was different.
“My bum is not happy!”
We’ve contacted Lidl for a comment.
A spokesperson for Lidl said: “Our teams have been working hard to improve the quality of the individual layers in our Floralys Quilted Toilet Tissue, making them thicker and stronger than before.
“This means that customers are still getting a high-quality product at the same great value price.”
Other supermarkets have been making sneaky changes to their products recently, though some customers were pleased with some shake-ups.
For example, earlier this month, Tesco made a change to the material used in its tea bags.
I t is introducing plant-based packaging which will allow shoppers to recycle their tea bags.
The supermarket sells over one billion tea bags every year and the move will see that all own-brand tea bags are fully recyclable by the summer.
The grocer had already begun rolling out its new compostable tea bags across its herbal and speciality tea lines.
But in November, Asda faced backlash after redesigning its nappies – which parents say are causing leaks onto babies’ clothes.
The store, which sells more than 13 million packs of Little Angels nappies every year, said it had introduced “Quick Dry Technology” and new sizing after swapping suppliers.
But parents said the change has caused an increase in leaky nappies.
In April last year, Aldi customers were left furious after the supermarket increased the price of its baby wipes AND reduced the size of them.
The number of wipes went down from 64 per pack to just 60.
Not only that but parents also complained that the quality of baby wipes has decreased, saying they are no longer up to the task of cleaning dirty bottoms.
