    I'm eating a packet now from a multipack recently purchased from Asda. Its got 25g.

    I'm sure there is some guidelines that say if the pack weight is below 25g you dont actually have to display it.

    I dont buy anything from a supermarket without checking the cost per kilo etc so I'm not to swayed by how many bags i get.

    Anyone remember Smiths Crisps? If you ate a bag of those, you actually felt like you'd eaten something..unlike now when it's few crisps and a load of fresh air.

    Love it when any packaging states that "contents may settle after packing". Product was only ever half full to begin with!

    May as well just make your own, with a potato peeler (or knife if you're clever), chuck in hot oil, dry off on towels, flavour as you like them. Cost = 1 potato

    I tend to buy family bags now with the view that I won't eat them all - then I do :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Not at all MSE I know, in fact totally greedy.

    Walkers are too expensive these days. I would never buy 18 pack at £4.50 ish its ridiculous. Actually its one thing I dont mind going up, more price the less we buy and then we dont pile the pounds on. Parent company pepsi also do same with silly prices £2 a 2 litre bottle there is always some where that sells it at £1 ish
