Day 72 - Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips

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.

Now THESE are some tasty chips
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. 

Half the chips for the same price - WHO would think that I would buy them?  But they are OGOD!
 Price - $3.29

Day 56 - White Corn Tortilla Rounds (chips)

Oh man, we have ourselves a problem.  We tried this bag of White Corn Tortilla Rounds, and we do not like them…  For some reason we have not returned them to the store, we keep pecking at them and trying to finish the bag.  But it is a TWO POUND BAG OF CHIPS.  Two pounds!  We should have given up and thrown them out after the first try, but we don’t like to waste food.

White Corn Tortilla Rounds
Here’s the deal:  they are too thick, too hard, and too “corn”y.  They just do not taste good.  So matter what we dip them in – we have tried hummus (2 varieties), salsa, and eating the chips naked – no method results in deliciousness! 

We will not be buying this type of chips again.  If we want white corn chips we will get Tostitos (which are a lot pricier but at least edible).  Or we will stick with Trader Joe’s Blue Corn Chips (which are more expensive and super yummy). 

Price – $3.28
