It seems in the United States alone, millions are spent by consumers on potato chips and other snack items. While some snack might not be too unhealthy, the amount of money people are willing to pay for such things is a shock. Some bags of chips are almost $5. What in the world are people thinking? Do you like such things as flavored potato chips?

We're talking about crisps right? If so then yes l buy quite a lot of Pringles and Walker's as l like to have them around for when l'm watching something and don't feel like pop corn. As for flavoured chips l don't think they sell those here

I like ALL foods but as much as I like potato chips I have them very seldom--flavored or not, rippled or not! PS All potato, corn, tortilla--all kinds of chips plus pretzels--are a dollar a package at The Dollar Tree store!

We enjoy some but have to say these are not our first choice in a snack food.

We have corn chips on hand a lot, but buy potato chips rarely. Anne loves Trader Joe's Olive Oil Potato chips, at about $2.99 as do I. That is as far as flavors go with us.

@PatZAnthony Anne only wants them around for her birthday, so we are just finishing the bag slowly.

I love potato chips but because of the fat content blah blah I rarely buy them. If I decided to have some - and it would be a small pack - the price wouldn't worry me too much. I have no idea what they cost here.

I like the "normal" flavors like bbq or sour cream and onion only.

It makes me sad to see lots of people queuing for flavored french fries in a nearby grocery store and also when I see the grocery carts of many shoppers with big bags of potato chips and other junks. It is as if I am the only one not buying them. Lucky me.

I don't eat fried foods of any kinds so I don't eat chips flavored or non-flavored and don't have a clue what they cost.

Our kids & I like chips a lot, years back. But, when relatives & friends stated telling their ordeal on their kidneys (some, surprisingly, were scheduled to having dialysis, ASAP), we stopped.
