Cheap as chips?

[Jules]

We very rarely go to the fish and chip shop but tonight for tea I fancied some chips to go with my BBQ grills, any way I was shocked to find out that a bag of chips was £1.10! So I am wondering is that the going rate for them now?

How much do you pay?

[Mal]

90p

[Druchii]

£1.20 form the chippy in town for a big bag. £1 for a small bag.

Normal price but I dont eat chips anymore I have 10p worth of rice instead lol

How many grains do you get for that?

I'm not sure, it has been ages since I got some, usually if we have chips it is with fish, too & Mrs Gaz picks them up on the way home.

I remember a little while back, one place did a 'tea time special' of a small piece of fish & about as many chips as a small MacDonalds portion, for 99p

Not good for chippie chips at the moment - still new potatoes in many of them, which go soggy not crispy. I hate to think what the fat content is - & loads use beef dripping, for frying, round here - loads of saturates.

- Oven Chips are usually 'better for you' as they tend to have less than 5% fat (when done in the oven).

- you could have an occasional treat with some of them, Zingle

<edit> just checked with Mrs gaz - 'normal' bag of chips up to £1.10p, 'tea time special' more like £1.25- £1.50 , now

£1.25 for a large portion of chips. Not sure about small ones.

[Matthew]

It's about a £1 for chips, small bag is between 80 and 90 and large is between £1 and £1.10.

[Chris W]

chips should never cost more than a pound.

I remember when you could buy fish & chips, go to the cinema and still have change out of saaaxpence!

I really wish you wouldn't post descriptions of my favourite food like that.

My belly sounds like Lester Pigott now.

Thats good thats almost all protein, the bbq will have took a lot of the fat out as well.

- that is the point, though, for me, I am biased, but it is quite possible to have food like 'fish & chips', without it clogging your arteries.
