Topic	How much do chips cost where you're at
ParanoidObsessive 07/30/20 12:24:39 AM #29:	Lokarin posted... How much do chips cost where you're at? Depends on the brand and the size, as well as whether or not the store is having a sale. But looking at two bags I have at the moment, Lays "Party Size" (12.5oz) is $4.79, while Utz "No Salt Added" (9oz) is $4.29. But I feel like I bought at least one of those as part of a 2/$6 deal, so they actually cost $3.00. Lokarin posted... https://www.amazon.ca/Old-Dutch-Potato-Crisps-Vinegar/dp/B08948Q1JH/ Your problem there might be Canadian Amazon. $10 per bag seems fairly on-par, because a) the CD to USD conversion rate makes it more like $7.50 US, b) a lot of stuff can wind up getting marked up a bit on Amazon in general, and c) those look like somewhat niche chips, which would be more expensive in general. I just looked on the company's web-site, and I can't even find that particular style/packaging at all, so it might be something they've discontinued (which would raise the price as well), or something that is limited by region/time (which would also increase the value). Using Wikipedia to come up with a list of supermarket chains in Canada, and looking on one of their web-sites, it seems like the general baseline price of chips in Canada is about the same as the US. A bag of "Party Size" Lays is listed as selling for $4.79 or 2/$9.00, which would actually make it cheaper than the US once you take the exchange rate into account. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:942761243] in How much d...
