WE all want to save money this Christmas - but can you get a festive snack for a bargain price? We’ve tested some Christmassy-flavoured treats to find out which supermarket own-brand goods are the best quality for the price. This time, it’s the Christmas crisps on offer at Tesco , Asda , Morrisons , Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Lidl . We taste-tested packs of turkey flavour and pigs in blankets flavour crisps from all the major supermarkets, giving each one a score out of ten.
And we also gave a score out of ten for value, based on the price per 100g. Here’s how all the crisps scored out of 20 overall: MORE ON MONEY Tesco Finest Crinkle Cut Pigs in Blankets Flavour crisps & Tesco Finest Roast Turkey & Sage Butter Flavour crisps £1.35 for 150g Tesco’s pigs in blankets crisps were thick and crinkle-cut with a strong smoky bacon taste.
They were very similar to Frazzles bacon crisps in flavour but there was no hint of sausage. If you like bacon-flavoured crisps though, these are a winner. The supermarket’s turkey and sage butter crisps had a creamy taste, with a hint of sage, but we struggled to taste any turkey .
They were pleasant enough – but wouldn’t make turkey fans happy. Most read in Money At 90p per 100g, these were mid-range on price. Taste: Pigs in Blankets - 8/10, Turkey – 6/10 Value: 7/10 Total: Pigs in Blankets - 15/20, Turkey – 13/20 Asda Extra Special Pigs in Blankets Hand-Cooked Crisps £1.
