Based on my buying and penny pinching chips every week it depends on location but usually for most grocery stores, the price has always been less than $2 the past 10, 20+ years since 2010, basically since chips existed. The entirely of last year 2023 and maybe the past years, grocery stores have been testing if us consumers were willing to pay over $2 with $2.19, 2.29, 2.49, 2.99.
I know the cost of making chips is more than just putting a 20 cent potato into a magic box that puts out a $2+ Flamin Hot bag. There's potatoes, all other magically scientifically evolutionary basically legally addictive substances delicious yummy ingredients, buying from farmer Billy, manufacturing factory, logistics, transport trucks, labor, company management, everything required to get that chip in yo mouth.
But I wonder how high their profit margins were the past 10, 20+ years since before 2000 if they were able to price chips for $2 a bag the past who knows how long (I'm guessing 10+ years at least since 2015-2010) if they're able to price at $2 the past many years since 2010 and earlier probably.
Potatoes cost 20 cents a pound and they're selling these bags of chips at over $4 a pound.
I need to go touch grass and not potatoes now.
On a side note I fantasize about being in potato heaven and eating as many chips and junk food as I want. I won't have to imagine it if I actually eat only chips and fast track my way to it.
