A stash of tasty snacks is a welcome - if not essential - treat in many homes. Whether it is part of a planned picnic or school lunch or just to fill a gap between meals, crisps or nuts can be the go to food of choice.
But with purse strings tightening as the cost of living gets higher, the cost of those savoury must-haves is also getting more and more expensive. But there is one ebay store which might have the answer.
For there is a little-known place on the market-place site that offers big brand names at a cut price cost. The Walkers Crisps Official Store has a whole range of its products at knock-down prices.
According to the Manchester Evening News the store was highlighted by TikTok user LatestDeals in a video which has gone viral. The money-saving account gave details of the bargains available on the store which many people might not be aware of.
The video tells that there is a "secret Walkers crisp store" where they sell "mega-bundles" of crisps. And it tells followers the items on offer are cheaper than supermarkets like Tesco.
The TikTok, which has over 120k views, explains that the firm sells "short-dated crisps". It goes on to say that it "gives you great savings on a budget".
Buying crisps with a short best-before date are especially helpful to those with a big family, if you’re throwing a party or even if you’re just someone who enjoys a lot of crisps.
Offers on the site include a 32 bags of Walkers Crisps Prawn Cocktail Sharing Snack Pack with a best before date at the end of February, which cost £15.99 - working out at roughly 50p a bag. RRP of each bag is 80p so you get 32 bags for £24 which is 75p per bag, so buying the eBay way would save you £8.
They also do offers that do have a close best before date, such as buying 32 bags of 32.5g Ready Salted Walkers for £17. The website says the RRP for these is £33.64 which is a massive 49% saving. Other snack varieties they have include Doritos, Nobby’s nuts, Sensations and popcorn.
It even has Quaker Oat So Simple, Quaker Rolled Oats and dips including Dorito salsa. One buyer from the store commented: “Awesome value and speedy delivery thank you.”
Other feedback from buyers include: “Good quality products at a reasonable price and ships quick, five stars from me”, “A combination of crisps both the wife and I and the kids love at a good price. Keep it up”, and “Delivery arrived fast. Monster Munch Crisps have 6 weeks best before date on them. They are very reliable. The seller responds to any of my queries fast. Highly recommend Seller and Product.”
