I tried supermarket peanuts to see if they could beat classic KP – the winner tastes the same and costs half the price | The Sun
IT'S crunch time for peanuts as rising costs push up the price of our favourite snack.
A 250g of KP peanuts cost £2.65 in April last year, but the same bag will now set you back £3 in most supermarkets.
Insiders claim savoury snacks have faced inflation due to the rising price of cooking oil, packaging and energy.
Own brand nuts will cost you less, but will they satisfy those afternoon munchies.
We asked Lynsey Hope, 41, from West Malling, Kent, to find out. Here she shares her verdict.

Lynsey says: "Lovely tasting peanuts and top marks for the resealable pack which made them easier to store once opened and kept them fresher for longer.
"The only downside here is the price – £3 a pack is a lot when we are all trying to shave money off our grocery bills.
"If you only like KP, they'll have to be an occasional treat."
TASTE: 9/10
VALUE: 5/10
OVERALL SCORE: 7/10
