Review of Meijer Potato Chips

One of the end cap specials touted at Meijer is the bag of chips sold for a low price of two dollars a bag. I decided to run with the regular potato chips though the Meijer brand also carries sour cream and cheddar and a few other flavored varieties of chips. The low price of the 12 ounce bag of chips undercuts  competitive brands such as Vitners, Jays, Lays, Crunchers, and others by quite a bit. Comparable size bags of potato chips typically run from about $3.25 to $4.00 per bag. Upon first taste, the chips came across tasting pretty solid, though they possessed a definite greasiness that remains on the hands after popping a few in. This oily residue does not go over  well when having lunch at the work desk or while studying. Another peculiar trait of these chips was the brittleness of the chips. I think half of my uber cheap two dollar bag was broken into tiny bits which rendered many chips unusable unless I was considering a recipe that called for potato chips! The price is right, the flavor is good, but the messiness and weakness of the chip leave this item as a below average purchase. I will suck it up and cough up the extra buck to buck fifty for a more solid chip going forward.
