Tesco over doubled the price of Tortilla Chips in one go, since last week.

  1. Might not make headlines normally, but in the context of the other post about the little girl it’s worrying to see basic goods jump up so fast.

  2. They are different products, OP. I’ve noticed this before – the top (cheaper) ones are stocked with the normal crisps, and the bottom (more expensive) ones are stocked with the Mexican food / ingredients.

  3. Putins bombing the Tortilla fields of Kherson.

    They call Kherson the cinema concession stand of Ukraine because of its rich tortilla and nacho culture.

  4. They’ve actually made the bags smaller too, so the price has effectively more than doubled. You can see the old price was equivalent to €4.25/kg, and the new price is equivalent to €10.00/kg.

  5. They also seem to have reduced the weight, changed the packaging and used different ingredients

    It’s almost like they’re different products

    OPEN YOUR EYES SHEEPLE!

  6. How many “things are expensive” posts do we need here?

    I get it, we’re being rinsed but Jaysis it’s getting boring.

  7. As others have said, these aren’t the same product. The top one is like a Doritos equivalent that you’d buy in the crisps aisle. The other one is found in the “Mexican” aisle alongside the taco shells etc. You would use them as the base for nachos.

  8. [We definitely had this brought up before](https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/12537ud/tesco_absolutely_taking_the_piss_with_these_price/), unfortunately it’s been OP deleted so you won’t find it in search.

    The two products are intended to be different. The former 200g bag are Dorito’s crisp equivalents; whereas the latter 175g bag are Old El Paso nacho equivalents.

    That said, last time the 200g bag was only 70c, so that’s a hefty increase in such a short space of time!

  9. Some tesco products are EXACTLY the same as branded, but priced cheaper, e.g mccains/tesco sweet potato fries are the same product.

  10. Have noticed in the last 2 months that Dunnes stores are better on price foe most products . Only shopping in Dunnes now and saving €20 a week compared to Tesco

  11. That’s a shame. Then with the salsa dip and a packet of cheese in the microwave was always a handy party mix

  12. Why the fuck are we giving mods the ability to stick ‘fact-check’ tags on posts?

    Are the Russian propaganda bots after our tortilla’s now?
