$4.30 for a bag of chips? Really?

I love potato chips. Ruffles is my favorite brand. But I don’t eat them very often because it’s like eating pretend food. But since I’m out of food until tomorrow, I thought I would treat myself to one of my favorite foods today.

That is, until I saw the price of $4.30 for a bag of Ruffles potato chips at Walgreens. Really? Are they covered in gold? Can I make earrings out of them? Seriously?

(I also checked Walmart, where the price was about 30 cents less.)

So, let’s remember how good potato chips are, while understanding that a lot of junk food is just not worth the price.
