Here is where we splurge…
If you saw my review of White Corn Tortilla Rounds (day 56), you know
you can get a really big bag (2 lbs) of chips at Trader Joe’s for only
$3.29. Whereas THIS bag of blue corn
chips is smaller (half the size) and the same price ($3.29). So TECHNICALLY, you are paying double (ouch)
for these chips as opposed to the white corn ones.
But the thing IS, see, THESE CHIPS ARE DELICIOUS, whereas
if you remember from the white corn tortilla rounds review, those other ones
are super crappy… We get through a bag
of these blue chips pretty quickly (normally we dip them in hummus) but the huge-o
bag of white corn crappy ones is still sitting half-eaten on our counter.

The blue ones are the right thickness. They are tasty. They have a good amount of salt (some people
miiiight say a bit too much salt, but it is the perfect amount for us). They are triangular shaped instead of round
(if that makes a difference to you). They
are good at scooping up hummus and salsa.
And they are not too HARD (the main complaint about those white ones).
So, for my hard earned money, it is worth spending the
extra to get chips you will actually enjoy eating. Get a bag and TRY them. If you don’t think they are worth splurging
on, go back to the other ones. But at least
give them a shot.

Hello! I love eating tortilla chips with chili. I am considering purchasing the blue corn tortilla chips...do they taste pretty similar to the white corn tortilla chips at trader joe's?
ReplyDeleteThanks! - Maria
Hi Maria! Oh tortilla chips and CHILI - you are making me hungry...
ReplyDeleteI like the blue chips at TJ's much better than the white ones. The blue ones are not as HARD and they just seem tastier! Give them a try! If you do not like them you can always return them - Trader Joe's is great about that. But I bet you WILL like them.
Enjoy! Happy shopping. :)
