My kids love those variety bags of chips, but they can be pretty expensive. $8 for only 18 small bags. So since it’s summer, I found a way to save a little money. I bought assorted bags of great value brand chips, spent about 7 bucks on them, plus 2 more bucks for these square snack bags which ended up being almost the same size as the variety chips bags. I got 42 bags total for $9! Way better than spending 8 dollars for 18 small bags
