Ruffles Original Potato Chips, 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 64)

This was a good, bad idea to order 64 bags of chips! It was a good idea because I love Ruffles. The price per bag was less than $0.50 for me (via subscribe and save). The size is just right for a very small, portioned controlled treat for those savory snackers who are trying to avoid over indulging, but at least get the satisfaction of finishing off a whole bag! (albeit a tiny one) For a small complaint, I don't know if they changed the recipe or whatnot, but it seems to be saltier than usual. Other than that, the expiration date for me was in Feb 2017 (ordered on early Dec 2016) so that's a good amount of time to snack on them all. The bad idea is that there are 64 bags! (not really a complaint, but if you're ordering for yourself, you should know what you are getting yourself into) It was little harder to get through for one person than expected (seriously, what was I thinking?). I did give about 1/3 of the box away. It is Feb now and I am still working on the last few remaining bags before the expiration. I'll freeze the rest and see how that goes.

I was thinking the foil liner in these packages would outlast the "best buy date" by quite a while ....but as Ron White often says .....BUT I WAS WRONG ...... I ended up throwing out about half the packages. They were perfectly good on arrival, I just tried to extend the shelf life beyond the best by dating. That's the problem with getting a big box. Nice to have them on hand and I like the small portions so I don't get too many carbs, but I need a few months to finish a box this big.

The stores don't sell the smaller bags of plain Ruffles, so it was nice to be able to get them here. I don't have to worry about the bag going stale after opening them like would happen when a larger bag is opened. There are only two of us in the house now, so these are perfect size. The flavored chips don't appeal to us.

I purchased 65 bags in March 2020 but they all expired on June 2, 2020. I would not have purchased if I knew of the quick expiration date.

Good, and the right price. Not quire as big chips as the family bag, but bigger than ithers that come in the smallest one. Also, somehow my order was doubled, so I asked to return but they just gave me a refund and said "keep them."
