$2 for potato crisps? That's very expensive.  But for 5, they surely must be gold plated, right?

Yeah the days of the $1 /bag of chips (226g) have long since departed sadly.  Whats striking though is the 250% markup for buying a single bag vs multiple, which, as BFC mentioned a while back, is just taking advantage of people trying to limit their intake via self-rationing (or folks who dont check prices and just get whatever is on their list).

I've really cut back on the soda this year. Like, a lot. 

Just the other day I was trying to get a 12 pack of the Pepsi Zero Sugar, but it was $7.99 for a 12 pack... AND it was Buy-Three-For $14.99 

That's just plain manipulative. Literally leaning on peoples' wallets to make it harder to be self-disciplined.

You just have to cross the border to Austria. The most popular non-budget brand costs more than 2 € now for 150 g and even the cheapest brands costs more than 1€ for 300 g.

Remind me to request a shopping list when I finally make it over the border
