Tesco Value Potato Rings

I don't usually opt for Tesco Value products, even though I often buy supermarket own brand items of things. I guess their Value range just has a bit of a bad reputation, but I decided to give their Potato Rings a try because I wanted some fairly plain crisps that were cheaper than Walkers Baked, which have now shot up to about £1.50 for a pack of 6! These are sold in a multipack of 8 x 20g bags. The outer appearance isn't overly attractive in its stark white design with 'value' on the front, but at least I know I'm not paying for the name or the wrapper! At 81p for 8 packets, these are a bargain, but obviously they need to be edible for them to be good value ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Value Potato Rings - Hula Hoops, what's the difference? I stood in the aisle at Tesco's wondering if there was any difference, was Tesco just marketing a similar product only giving it a downbeat name. So I decided to give them a whirl, lets face it you say Potato and I say Hula Hoop ... Right, so we have a multi pack. Eight packets for 81p, not bad. The packaging is the standard well known much loved and adored red, white and blue Tesco value design which is only going to end up in the waste bin afterwards so why worry. Open the large bag and whip one a potato ring for examination, a good fat bag, bulging with rings and not ...  Read the complete review

I am a great fan of the Martin Lewis brand down challenge and often try one brand down this rarely seems to incorporate crisps as I tend to buy what crisps are on offer but on a shopping trip to Tesco's I noticed that they did a value brand potato ring crisp multi pack of 8 twenty gram packets for 81p so thought it was worth trying. The packaging The packaging is in the value brand blue and white Tesco design which is simple but doesn't seem to have the stigma that they once did Nutrition Each bag contains Calories 95 Fat 3.6g Salt 0.4g The contents Upon opening they appear to be ...  Read the complete review

These value Tesco potato rings cost only 81p for a multi pack of 8 bags so at just over 10p a bag they are a really good price. These potato rings are a ready salted snack. These rings are similar to hula hoops. a bit thinner. They are small golden brown rings that do just fit on a finger should you wish too. There are 95 kcal per serving 475 kcal per 100 g. The size of a bag was fine enough rings for a snack to accompany a packed lunch. These rings ideal for a Childs lunch bag. (Or mine) These rings only come in the ready salted flavour. Tesco can not guarantee they are nut free although they do not contain nuts ...  Read the complete review

We have only two supermarkets on the island where I live, one is Tesco the other is Co-Op. Tescos is a recent addition and I have to say the island community were divided by its presence. Half rejoicing ( myself included ) due to the low prices , the other dubious about the store. Value potato rings were one of the first purchases I made with my first shop there. Now if you are expecting them to be ( as I was ) like Hula Hoops I am afraid you're going to be exceptionally disappointed. The texture of the potato ring is much thinner. They are also a lot crispier. The flavour ( these crisps come in ready salted only ) was bland and greasy , they have a stale ...  Read the complete review
