This review is on Sainsburys value mutli pack crisps. I bought these a couple of weeks ago and still haven't managed to finish them. You get 12 packets of crisps, Salt and vinegar sticks, onion rings and cheese puffs. They cost 47p. That's 47p for 12 packets of crisps!
I have tried and disliked the Tesco Value, i thought i would try Sainsburys and was slightly more impressed but not overally impressed.
The packets are smaller than a normal packet of crisps but for this price you could have 2 packets if you really wanted to.
The Tesco Value crisps literally have no taste! Every flavour tasted like ready salted. These crisps have more taste to them, but its an acquired taste.
The salt and vinegar sticks, taste too over powering of vinegar. I do like my crisps to taste strong but this was really strong and not very nice!
The onion rings have a nice onion taste to them but they are just like little rings of air. You crunch it once and they seems to have just disappeared. But these have a nicer taste than the vinegar sticks.
The cheese puffs are similar to the onion rings in the sense of them being little bits of air which disappear very quickly. The colour of them are very pale. With wotsits they are very orange. These are a light yellow colour with very little flavour. I am not a fan of Wotsits as i find them very over powering, to cheesey and very messy. These are not messy and not cheesey. These are not the happy medium i am looking for.
Would i buy these again? At 47p for 12 packets of crisps. I would be tempted as these are of a higher standard than the Tesco Value, and cheaper than the branded crisps. I wouldn't go out especially to buy these but i possibly will do again
Summary: I might be tempted to buy again
