"Save-A-Lot Is Better" Volume 10: O'Day's Farms Four Cheese Instant Mashed Potatoes


Price: 99¢ (2 pouches per box)
Consistency: When mixing these, there's almost no globs of unmixed flakes like some other brands can do
Flavor: Cheese flavor isn't overpowering or weak, it's just right, and there's no need to add salt because they're already a little salty
Betty Crocker or O'Day's Farms?: O'Day's Farms

"Save-A-Lot Is Better" Volume 9: J. Higgs Ripple Potato Chips


Price: 89¢
Consistency: Much like Old Dutch ripple chips or Wavy Lays
Flavor: Salty but not too salty, and they're not too greasy
Lays/Old Dutch or J. Higgs?: J. Higgs
