Calavo Sea Salt Tortilla Chips

Price:  $0.99 a bag
Location:  Jack's World

Review: I got these for $0.99 cents at Jack's World and they are totally worthy every penny. You can taste the sea salt on the tortilla chip and it is crunchy good. It is not a weak or flimsy chip, and it holds up well with salsa. I think it is even better than the pricey brands of Frito Lay tortilla chips. I think the best part is it only less than 1 dollar for 13oz of chips.  It is such a great deal that I wanted to buy more.

The paper bag is pretty neat and not your typical chip bag. I usually snack on the chip plain during my mid-morning snack at work. I approve of this product.

Result: More chips, please!

Cofresh Hummus Chips

Price:  $0.99 a bag
Location: Jack's World

Review: I found these awesome hummus chips at Jack's.  I love their selection of snacks there.  I thought, "Hmmm, hummus chips are new and different. Something that I've never tried before." So, I bought two bags -Sea Salt and Tomato & Basil flavored. The sea salt did not taste salty at all.  It didn't have much flavor to it. The company Cofresh uses chickpea flour and grinded sea salt to make the chip. The chip itself reminds me of pasta shells, but they taste kind of hard.  It is not as light and crispy as a potato chip. The chip does sound healthy because it is 35% less fat, but it is still kind of greasy and my hands were slightly oily.  The chips are make in the UK and imported to the USA, so it is pretty neat. However, the sea salt hummus chip is pretty flavorless though. The tomato & basil was slightly better with paprika seasoning, but it was still hard to eat.  

Result:  I wouldn't consider buying them for the 2nd time.
