"Save-A-Lot Is Better" Volume 8: Walkenbach Thin Sticks

Price: 99¢
Consistency: Much like Rold Gold (Walkenbach also makes the "standard" twist pretzels shaped like the little picture on the bag above)
Flavor: These are VERY tasty and don't have too much salt, they're very addicting
Rold Gold or Walkenbach?: Walkenbach

"Save-A-Lot Is Better" Volume 7: Senora Verde Ranch Flavored Tortilla Chips

Price: 99¢
Consistency: They seem thinner than Doritos but they're just as crunchy, and the layer of seasoning isn't quite as thick
Flavor: Just as good as Doritos regardless of the smaller amount of seasoning--I think maybe the seasoning on the Senora Verde might just be a different color than the Doritos seasoning, but somehow it looks like there's less on the Senora Verde
Doritos or Senora Verde?: Senora Verde

"Save-A-Lot Is Better" Volume 6: Nature's Crunch Bite Size Frosted Shredded Wheat

Price: $1.79
Consistency: A lot like Post Frosted Shredded Wheat, but crunchier, and the wheat "threads" are thicker
Flavor: Better than Post because the frosted section is thicker
Post or Nature's Crunch?: Nature's Crunch

"Save-A-Lot Is Better" Volume 5: Kaskey's Condensed Bean With Bacon Soup

Price: 49¢
Consistency: Much like Campbell's
Flavor: Again, much like campbell's
Cambell's or Kaskey's?: Kaskey's

"Save-A-Lot is Better" Volume 4: Hargis House Chili with Beans



Price: 79¢
Consistency: Thicker and darker than Hormel--separated upon opening of the can, but once heated it blends right away, and it makes a nice filling meal
Flavor: MUCH tastier than Hormel--I had Hormel recently and it seemed bland compared to Hargis House
Hormel or Hargis House?: Hargis House

"Save-A-Lot is Better" Volume 3: Goldstrike Cinnamon Swirls

Price: $1.79
Consistency: The cereal itself has the same crunch as Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but the sugar & cinnamon coating isn't quite as heavy
Flavor: Just as cinammon & sugary as Cinnamon Toast Crunch even though the cinnamon & sugar is less heavy
Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Cinnamon Swirls?: Cinnamon Swirls
