    Because every food item in the US is crazy expensive? When I was there in January, there were Chip-Bags for 4-8$. In Germany, a potato-chip bag starts at 1.10 and the national brands at 1.99. I love potato chips. But I do not buy 5$ bags. Thats crazy.

      Yeah its nuts a bag of Doritos at stop and shop near me is $5.99 like its fucking dried corn with some spices and preservatives. The price gouging has reached snap on tools level which in reality is just tje standard model for corporations. Aim for 500-1000% profit margins or even higher if possible
