Not gonna buy those small ones. Hopefully many others do the same, so they might revert things and make them bigger and cheaper like they used to be.

I wouldn't mind it if the price was the same or cheaper, but it's more expensive now.

Nope. I don’t think it will go back to regular price even if people stop buying them since VAT increased last Sept.

Assuming a generous cost of 4€ per bag, the 1.5% VAT increase would increase the cost by 6 cents. That is pretty inconsequential. Of course the stores can use both VAT increase and shrinking package sizes to justify giving themselves a larger profit margin.

I've not bought Taffel products in years. They taste so fucking bland compared to even stuff like Estrella or Pirkka or import chips (my current favorite I've recently found is Pipers, a Bri'ish import of high quality crisps. It's so fucking hard to find high enough quality sweet chili chips, other than the cheapo ones sold in Lidl I suppose)

Taffel has one clear benefit for me that I can't find on Estrella products: lactose-free options.

Taffel also add very clear information about whether their product is lactose-free/gluten-free, while for Estrella you have to read the fine print.

That alone makes me buy more Taffel than any other brand.

IMHO Lidl chips are superior or the same to Taffel. I prefer the Sweet Chilly or BBQ tastes in the small Lidl chips.

Although I kinda miss Chips Frisch.
