$5!?! FOR CHIPS?!? How can a gallon of gas be less than a bag of chips?!?

Ann- amounts to about $20 a pound (4.5-oz). Was tasty.

They make Maui-Style potato chips at Trader Joe's in a variety of flavors - Salt & Vinegar, Sweet BBQ, and Plain. Cost? $1.99 for a giant bag. If Trader Joe's opened in Hawaii Nei, their shelves would be empty in a blink of an eye....

Ann- I just checked out Trader Joe's website as I had never heard of them before. Apparently, they make all kinds of chips, or chips from of all kind things. Meanwhile, the economy in the islands is still on the bad side so they might have lower sales here. But perhaps, it works in reverse. For example, expensive brands of beers are having a banner year in sales nationwide.
