CVS Gold Emblem Classic Potato Chips

On a very regular basis, I purchase and consume many different brands and flavors of potato chips. Sitting on top of my refrigerator, is a large sized bag of CVS Gold Emblem Classic Potato Chips. It is the second bag of these chips that I have purchased in the past few weeks.

It seems to me that these potato chips would be a good item to review. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is an article which reviews and examines CVS Gold Emblem Classic Potato Chips.

Size
The net weight of the bag of CVS Gold Emblem Classic Potato Chips being reviewed here is 11 ounces (311 grams). According to the product's nutrition facts label, the bag holds about 11 one ounce (28 grams) servings. Each serving contains roughly 15 chips.

In physical size, this bag of CVS Gold Emblem Classic Potato Chips is quite large. The bag measures 16" x 9.5" and is basically a 'Large' sized bag of chips.

Price
I am unsure of the regular retail price charged for one 11 ounce bag of CVS Gold Emblem Classic Potato Chips. Every time I see them, they are on sale. The regular price is almost assuredly lower than similar, name brand chips.

Each time I have purchased these chips, the sale price charged for one 11 ounce bag was $1.50. Same - size bags of name brand potato chips retail for significantly higher prices. Considering the fact that I think these chips are just as good as name brand varieties, that price is quite a bargain.

Most of the chips are good sized and intact. The overall mouth feel offered by CVS Gold Emblem Classic Potato Chips is pleasing.
