Tortilla chips need to always be on hand in our home. We use
them with salsa, dips, hummus, you name it. We eat tortilla chips alongside
sandwiches when we run out of potato chips or cheese puffs. We also have
various recipes for which the chips are baked right into the dish; so very
versatile! When it comes to shopping for
tortilla chips, I usually base the purchase on whatever is on sale at the local
Meijer or Jewel. I am not so hung up on brand purchasing. I will buy just about
any brand whether it is Tostitos, authentic Mexican brand chips, or even a “no
name” or store brand chip (e.g. Meijer brand). Recently we decided to purchase
a bag of Benita Tortilla Strips found at the local Aldi store. I shop at Aldi
frequently as indicated in other posts here, but it is only until now that I
have decided to try their Benita line of tortilla chips.
These chips sold for the super low price of $1.49 for 13
ounce bag. The chip has a unique rectangular shape with a restaurant corn sort
of flavor. The chips within the bag were all pretty much intact and had an
inviting white corn color. These chips fared as crunchy as most competitor
chips whether it be Frito Lays Tostitos, El Milagro, and others. I even dug the
cool brown bag with “see through” middle plastic window which allows the buyer
to confirm he or she is not picking up a bag of broken up chips.
The best part of this chip is the tremendous cost savings
without the sacrifice of quality. Tostitos 13 ounce bag will run $3.49 per bag putting
it about twice the price of the Benita chips!
These chips are definitely a strong buy.
