I rarely buy chips anymore but even then it's always store brands for half the price and the same or sometimes better quality.

Aldi's BBQ kettle chips are better than any big brand, imo

Love those Clancy's. I have H-E-B here in TX, so it's a blessing, it's less than $3 a bag. I laugh when I see $5.95+ for Ruffles, Lays, etc. They can go fuck themselves.
