hey fusionfury, ask that question to "2georgiousgirls" she reported as buying value chips from tesco, and they were ok. As you already bought them, best thing is to try them now, let me know how they taste

It wasn't me who commented on the chips - I haven't tried them yet but will give them a go if others think they are good. Have been so good at downshifting most things but can't get family off M&S crinkle cut chips!:o

If I remember, next time I'm in store, I will check stock cube price. Don't know why they are not on the website, unless maybe they don't do them anymore.

Hospital visit was good - hubby has been off work 1.5 years but has now been given the ok to return. Hoping to get back 1st August for a couple of days a week to start with. Thanks for asking.:)

ETA: Just checked 1st page, Supersally01 commented on chips.

Supersally01 - are the chips nice and crispy?
