A good friend of mine is obsessed with Lay's Ketchup Potato chips...but they're hard as hell to find, and they're like 7 bucks a bag on eBay. If anyone in Canada has accesss to these (I have no clue how common they are, haven't really researched this) perhaps he could pay you to ship them to him-? Serious offers only plz  -------------

There are some places in the US that get them, but for whatever reason they're like a prized commodity or something. I don't get it, I hate ketchup so the idea sounds disgusting, but my friend took a trip to a Canada with his parents 5 or 6 years ago and has been talking about them ever since. So I thought I'd dig around and figure out what the easiest / most economical way to find them is. -------------

I haven't seen a gas station or grocery store that doesn't have them, I was shocked to hear the states don't get them. ------------- <1 meg sig = bad> |

I had an arguement with a Canadian girl in highschool about said chips. I have had them before, theyre kinda hard to find but not super rare...
Although I do miss Little Cesars pizza. The one by me closed, and I see ads at canadian hockey games for them. One day i shall travel to the ghetto k mart for pizza.. -------------

Lays Ketchup are the best chips on earth.
You don't put ketchup on your fries? Its the same thing (sort of)... ketchup on a fried potato. |

We sell them at work, so occassionally I bring ketchup chips and beer home. It's great. You guys also dont get all dressed chips.
I'll trade someone either chips, poutine gravy mix, or all dressed chips for everclear? |

Keeping in mind I'm from the deep south here, and have never heard of ketchup chips except for on the forum here, but I would like to know what the difference between "ketchup chips" and just getting some plain chips and dipping them in ketchup is..... ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

Seriously. If your friend hasn't been talking about all dressed, then he either has no taste buds or didn't get to experience the greatness that is all dressed. -------------

You haven't eaten chips until you've eaten all dressed chips. There was a specific brand that I found absolutely wonderfully beyond the rest, but all brands are good so far as I can tell. -------------

You can get everything cheap. Want to know what a 6 pack of budweiser costs at my work? Slightly more pricey than a liquor store because its already cold, but $12.95 |

They're getting harder to find, but the next time I run across some I'll buy a whole bunch and divvy them out to whoever wants them. I think Utz is a Pennsyvania based company, so some of our yankee forumers may be able to help. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

Ouch. I thought the local college liquor store was overpriced for the $10/6 pack of Heineken and the like.
What is the cheapest beer in canada? -------------

I dunno but you wouldn't want to drink it. I remember in Quebec, they sold the "Big 10" everywhere. A litre of 10% beer. They were on for 2 for $7. One is enough to get you pretty messed up but it takes you an hour to drink it since it tastes so bad. $3.50 and you are drunk. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Not sure what the cheapest in the country is, but $10 will get you a 6 pack of colt45 or PBR. Oh and a mickey (or Pint as you yanks say) of Vodka is $13 average for cheap stuff. |

In Texas we have a unique form vomit inducing called Steel Reserve. 4 bucks a 12 pack at Wally World at 8 percent alcohol.
It's REAL bad. I get six packs if imports here for around 9 bucks, that's for good beer, of course I'm not much of a beer drinker, just a Shiner, Corona, or whatnot. A fifth of Everclear is about 12 bucks here I believe (quit drinking it when I was 19, lol),and I buy handles of Captain Morgan for 22 bucks at a hole in the wall liquor store in Ft Worth. I couldn't afford my drinking habits in Canada... -------------

$10 for a sixpack??? You can get a case here for 11 or 12 bucks.
We have that here, rough stuff. During bar golf we had to shotgun a tallboy of it. One of my least fond memories over the last 20.5 years of life. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

In ontario the cheapest is a buck a beer, plus a 10 cent deposit for each bottle.
I hate seeing the prices in buffalo. Sooo cheap.

choop- 10 for a 6 pack of PBR? i think it was a sale of some kind, but at a food store about an hour from me they were practically throwing it at customers for 4.50 for a 6 pack. |
Posted By: choopie911
Date Posted: 27 January 2010 at 2:32pm
Yep, $10 is the cheapest 6 pack in our store. That's the stuff you don' want to drink if you have a bed to sleep in. |

No. Its a dilapidated sketchy building in the hood with a batch of homeless/sketchy people surrounding it, with an apartment above it. -------------
