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.

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.
Putins bombing the Tortilla fields of Kherson.
They call Kherson the cinema concession stand of Ukraine because of its rich tortilla and nacho culture.
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.
‘Cheap as chips’ mehole!
And also shrinkflated them it seems – 200g to 175g
Most products seem to have gone up in price. It’s ridiculous.
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!
How many “things are expensive” posts do we need here?
I get it, we’re being rinsed but Jaysis it’s getting boring.
Less for more
Every little helps
Greedy bastards
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.
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!
People clearly don’t understand how Tortilla hedging works…
looks they might be different products
You’re paying for the extra space they’ve now created around the product
Brits are at it again. Trying to get some more money for brexit Britain
Some tesco products are EXACTLY the same as branded, but priced cheaper, e.g mccains/tesco sweet potato fries are the same product.
1c a gram
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
That’s a shame. Then with the salsa dip and a packet of cheese in the microwave was always a handy party mix
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?
Charlatans. Straight onto the Doritos. Priced for the people

Just eat em as your doing your shopping.
200g here for £1. Wtf are they playing at?
The cheaper ones were 35c pre COVID.
They used to be 35c, then went to 70c, then this.
[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.
