<\/p>\nQUAVERS are a classic in many people's cupboards, perfect for lunches or a tasty snack.<\/p>\n
They're pretty low-calorie as well compared to other crisps so are a decent lunchbox option.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A 16g bag is just 86 calories, compared to 129 calories for a bag of cheese and onion Walkers.<\/p>\n
The cheesy crisps can set you back a pretty penny though at \u00a31.95 for a six-pack, or \u00a32.03 per 100g. <\/p>\n
Luckily for those of us with a crisp craving, several supermarkets do their\u00a0own bargain version\u00a0of the popular treat.<\/p>\n
A few of the supermarkets actually sell even more bags for less, so you're getting more for your\u00a0money\u00a0too.<\/p>\n
But do they taste as good?<\/p>\n I gave them a go to find out, awarding each a score out of ten for taste and price – here are the results.<\/p>\n You really can't go wrong with a bag of Quavers.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n They're my go-to snack in any meal deal from most supermarkets.<\/p>\n Each curl has a big crunch to it, and they don't taste too artificial either. <\/p>\n I always liked that they melt slightly on the tongue with each bite and they're nice<\/span> and light too. <\/p>\n You can pick up a six-pack of the crisps for \u00a31.95 at Tesco, which equates to \u00a32.03 for 100g.<\/p>\n When I first opened the bag of Lidl's Cheese Curls I was hit with quite an artificial scent – almost like spray cheese. <\/p>\n On the first bite I noticed that the crisps were pretty soft compared to the real deal. <\/p>\n Each individual curl was quite small, not as big as Quavers.<\/p>\n The overall taste was a bit too artificial for me, and the smell was offputting. <\/p>\n Lidl's crisps cost \u00a31.29 for a pack of ten, so you get more for your money than a pack of Quavers. <\/p>\n It works out as just 86p per 100g.<\/p>\n I had high hopes for Aldi's Cheese Curls as I've found its crisps dupes pretty spot on in the past. <\/p>\n As I opened the bag the first thing I noticed was the smell, which can only be described as burnt cheese. <\/p>\n They didn't taste any better, and I could barely have more than two crisps before I had to put the bag down. <\/p>\n Each bite tasted stale and they were very soft and spongey, not like the real thing. <\/p>\n Aldi's crisps are priced the same as Lidl, so if you're not too fussed on the taste then they could be a good option for families.<\/p>\n Asda's Cheesy Curls were pretty similar to the real thing. <\/p>\n That being said, they don't smell great which put me off a little at first. <\/p>\n The individual crisps are as big as Quavers and they taste really quite similar if a little less flavoursome. <\/p>\n They're a decent price too, at \u00a31.15 for a pack of six and each bag is the same weight as the real thing too. <\/p>\n It puts Asda's crisps at \u00a31.13 per 100g, 90p more affordable than Quavers but not as cheap as the discounters'.<\/p>\n Sainsbury's Quavers dupes are also called Cheese Curls and are a decent contender as well. <\/p>\n Their taste is similar to Asda's – tasty but could have had a bit more cheese flavouring. <\/p>\n The texture of the crisps wasn't as crunchy though, they were pretty soft and a bit spongey.<\/p>\n The size of each curl was slightly smaller too. <\/p>\n Sainsbury's price is the same as Asda's at \u00a31.13 per 100g. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TOB-POPCHIPS-COMP-1.jpg\")
