I stopped getting Doritos when they went above $4/bag (prices are in USD and are what is printed on the bag, not what is displayed on the store shelf). I was already on the fence when it was $3/bag and stopped buying it on impulse from convenience stores. I would still indulge occasionally, but only when I could snag a deal at the grocery store. Then, around the time of the COVID price gouging, it went above $5 and I consider that insane for tortilla chips sprinkled with powder. Last time I saw the price of a bag of Doritos, I was at a 7-eleven and it was over $6. That’s fucked up. You’re mostly buying air anyway.
Doritos.
My steak consumption is half what it used to be. Pork is the new steak.
Computer parts.
chocolate bars.

In this vein, Ruffles Re my go-to snack. Used to wait for the 3 bags for $11 sale and stock up. Now, it’s 2 for $9.99.
Costco sells them every so often and then I’ll grab them, but that’s that.
