100 calorie packs–We have a love hate relationship with these little gems. The pre-portioned size is great for that willpower lacking part of me that really, desperately wants some fudgey covered cookies or some Doritos.  But the penny-pinching DNA kicks in and figures out some things about these guys that I find annoying.  So as I munch on my Grasshopper cookies (which by the way taste like mint girl scout cookies–the bomb!), I realize I’m paying good money for my lack of will power.

What made me realize this quickly was the 100 calorie Sunchips.  I love cheddar Sunchips but half the bag seems to vanish while I’m watching tv.  Some sort of evaporation taking place I’m sure.  So when I saw the 100 calorie version I snatched them off the shelf with a quickness.  Then of course the other part of me went…what a rip!  They are about $2.99 at my local grocery store for six servings.  Then I looked at the bag of regular-people chips, and they are about $2.69 for 16 servings.  Now I’m no math wizard, but that’s more than double the price for the admittedly satisfying little pouches.
