Looking to buy crisps for home, a get-together or a party? There’s more to choose from than just ready salted or paprika. You’ll also find Pringles, Lay’s crisps, spicy crisps, cheese crisps, barbecue crisps and multipacks of smaller portions. The variety is useful, but it can also lead to a purchase you regret.
For example, a large pack might seem like good value, when you’d actually like to try a few different flavours. A bag may also contain a lot of air, or the quantity may not suit the occasion. Use the following tips to compare crisps online and find what works for you.
Don’t just compare the price per pack: check the price per 100 g too. A multipack of twelve 40 g bags is handy for lunchboxes and parties, but contains 480 g in total. A single tube or bag may work out differently per gram.
Also consider the difference between:
“Hot”, “sweet chilli” and “BBQ” can vary considerably from one product to another. A sweet and spicy flavour is different from a strong chilli or pepper flavour. Cheese crisps may be seasoned with cheese powder, milk ingredients and herbs.
So check the ingredients and nutritional information. Products containing milk, wheat, soya or mustard may not be suitable for everyone. If you have allergies, always check the latest label on the packaging. Online product information can change.
A tube with a resealable lid can be handy if you don’t eat everything at once. Small bags are easier to share out, but create more individual packaging. For party crisps, how you plan to serve them also matters: large bags are suitable for putting into a bowl, while portion packs are less likely to be left open.
Start by choosing the type of flavour you’re after:
Bear in mind that product names mainly describe the flavour. They don’t guarantee a particular level of intensity. If you’re unsure, try a smaller pack before ordering a large multipack.
Check both the number of packs and the weight of each one. A product labelled “12 x 40 g” may be just as heavy as one 480 g pack, but it’s not as convenient in use. For a party, you can work out how many guests will be eating and whether you’ll be serving other snacks too.
A 160 or 165 g tube is suitable for sharing or serving in a bowl. A multipack of small bags is better suited to a lunchbox, office cupboard or event where everyone gets their own portion.
The label includes information such as:
For example, the supplied product information lists wheat and milk in several Pringles flavours. Lay’s Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli lists gluten and soya. Lay’s Max Cheddar & Onion contains milk. So always check the ingredients list for the variety you’re buying, even if you’ve eaten a similar product before.
Why it suits this profile: This variety pack contains three flavours, each in a 90 g tube. It’s a practical way to compare them without buying several large packs straight away.
You’re not limited to one flavour, and you can easily check the total weight of 270 g before buying.
Three flavours in one pack; suitable for sharing or catering for different tastes.
Why it suits this profile: A good choice if you want a familiar ready salted flavour and several tubes for home, visitors or a get-together.
The total quantity is clear: three separate 165 g tubes, rather than a large loose pack whose size is harder to judge.
Resealable tube; the product information lists 528 kcal and 1 g of salt per 100 g.
Why it suits this profile: The twelve 40 g bags are ideal for parties, lunchboxes, days out or keeping a supply of ready-portioned snacks.
You know the quantity in each bag in advance, making it easier to plan portions and work out how many you’ll need.
Twelve individual packs; a spicy flavour with chilli and herbs, according to the product description.
Store crisps in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Check the packaging for damage before ordering or opening it. Seal an opened tube or bag securely to help keep the crisps as crunchy as possible.
For a get-together, try serving ready salted crisps alongside cheese, barbecue and spicy varieties. This gives you a range of flavours without having to buy large quantities of just one.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
You can filter online by brand, flavour, weight and packaging. When shopping for crisps online, pay particular attention to the total quantity, price per 100 g, allergens and estimated delivery time. This lets you compare Pringles, Lay’s and other potato crisps by more than just the front of the pack.
Multipacks of small bags are handy for parties when guests want their own portion. Large tubes or bags are better for serving in a bowl. A mix of ready salted, spicy, cheese and barbecue crisps offers a choice of flavours.
It depends on the packaging and how the crisps are stored. A resealable tube helps keep the contents sealed. An opened bag is best folded or sealed securely straight away and stored somewhere dry. Always check the best-before information on the packaging.
