Clancy’s Tortilla Chips – 2015

The bag changed.  I’m not sure when.  Have the chips changed?  The answer is no.  They are still the same chips, same price, same calories.  That’s good.

This is another fine Indian-style frozen entrée from Trader Joe’s.  At $3.49 it’s a little on the pricey side when compared with other frozen entrées, but not pricey when compared with going out for lunch.
