Doritos are universally one of the most excellent chips ever created. The simplicity of a tortilla chip infused with nacho cheese with such a perfect crunch can’t be beat, or can it? The main issue people have with Doritos is the price. As groceries have gotten more expensive, the price of the popular chips has gone up. Unless you can find them on sale, some complain they can cost upwards of $6 a bag. Luckily, there are less expensive alternatives that are better than Doritos and cost less.
