In case you haven't figured it out by now, Rich and I are a bunch of geeks. :) We are always looking for odd ways to have some fun. Our latest: Taste Testing! In my last run to Aldi's, I saw some Nacho Cheese chips and Corn Chips for $.99 a bag. I am usually pretty leary about trying odd-brand chips but I figured I'd give it a try. We did have some Doritos at home and I picked up a small size bag of Fritos for $.99. What was the outcome?
I couldn't tell the difference between the corn chips. But my wallet could! The Clancy's bag was 12 oz and the small Fritos bag was 3 3/8 oz! Talk about getting your money's worth! Now the Nacho chips, I could tell a difference but oddly, I preferred the Clancy's version over the Doritos! They had me sold!
So you can believe that I am going to be getting our chips at Aldi's! I just figured I'd pass this on in case, you too, were leary about trying an odd-brand chip. Give it a whirl! You might find that you not only like them better but can save some $$ on your grocery budget!
I prefer the Clancy's corn chips also. I'll have to try the tortilla chips as well. The pretzels are also good.
ReplyDeleteWe've bought Aldi chips for years. The tortilla chips are great. I really love their cheesy poofs too! I know I have saved $$$ over the years packing Aldi chips in my family lunches. Hey and they even get name brands like krunchers, pringles, etc. from time to time if u get bored.
ReplyDeleteI think the Clancy Tortilla Chips (Plain) are delicious as well....I sereved them with Taco dip at a party we had and got a few compliments on how good the chips were...too funny!!
ReplyDeleteWe just had the corn chips with salsa tonight. A nice switch from tortilla chips. I'll have to try them with Taco dip, too!!

All of Aldi's chips, pretzels, tortilla chips and corn chips are as good or better than the name brand varities, and much less expensive!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love kettle cooked chips from Aldi's!!
ReplyDeleteThey are good and about $1.99. Cheaper than other brands.
I made Frito pie(my husband's favorite) with the Clancy's corn chips ,he couldn't tell the diffelence.
I could buy a can of chilly for $.33 at Aldi's,too!!
Recipe for Fritos pie
