Would likely cost more than $350 to turn 50# of spuds into chitato
pips at home... plus the cost of labor to clean up the mess. And
probably takes 3 lbs of spuds to make 9.5 ozs of chips.

This week the market in town has 9.5 oz bags of Wise; buy 2 get 3
free. Wise are my favorite so I will get them. Every week there's a
different brand with a similar deal. Lays are my least favorite, I
rarely buy them.
