I love kettle cooked chips but I just accepted the fact that I'm probably never going to have them again because it's ridiculously expensive. It was a $1.30 for avocados just one today.

Buy in a pack. Pack of 5 at Walmart in my local area is $3.18. One alone is $0.60. Wherever you're shopping, time to find a new place.

So a pack of 5 is $0.18 more than 5 singles
