I’m surprised they still think that they can get away with $3 for a 20-ounce soda, although I know the gas stations have something to do with that.
Yeah, junk food has always been the low cost option. That’s why it exists. I hate to tell them this, but Dorito is not a boutique brand nor is it a staple item. The generic brands are roughly equivalent and half price.
Sorry, all my money goes to my landlord so I can rent a basement. I have a terrible housing addiction and there us no signs of it slowing down.
Have you tried camping, or perhaps sleeping in your car or under a bridge?
I mean, it’s not a perfect solution, but harm reduction is improvement, right?
our grandparents used to work hard for their children and wives. We work hard for our landlords
heard your government outlawed clinics for those suffering homefulness withdrawal 🥀
It’s not just the higher cost, it’s the smaller size of the bag too. Shrinkflation. Been seeing it a lot on Ruffles chips in particular.
Doritos are $9 CAD ($6.50 USD) at my closest Costco, haven’t bought doritos in years
please, Americans, go buy some bags so we don’t have to bail pepsico out with our tax money
amazing, these ghouls discussing people being unwilling to pay $7 for a bag of doritos like it’s some puzzling abnormality and not the most obvious fucking thing in the world
My interpretation is that the “puzzling abnormality” they are showing here is for Pepsico setting the price so high, not on consumers for no longer buying them. That’s why they made the little Claude jab in there. They were shocked at the price and that’s why they were asking about the size of the bag, etc…
The regular price for a bag of Doritos has been roughly $5 at my local store for the last few years. Just the other week I noticed they started printing something like “new lower price” directly on the bag. The new price? About $5.
I haven’t bought Pepsico or Frito-lay chips in years. But I’m fortunate that here in Ohio every county seems to still have their own independent chip company and I am happy to pay $6 for a family size bag of chips made right here in town vs $5 for a bag for mass produced crap.
