A Plea for Help!!

Okay, my friend Tami and I are in need of serious help from the blog community. I know that I have Canadian readers and we need something that you have. Specifically, CHIPS.

Okay, we somehow have managed to get Ketchup and Taco chips over the years but we haven't had any for a really long time. And we need some BAD. We went online to order some and I KID YOU NOT, they were going to charge us 75 dollars for shipping for the 60 dollars of chips that we wanted (they were already super over priced) which would have meant over 130 for some chips.

Here is the thing, some people don't know what I am referring to when I say ARRIBA TACO CHIPS. They come in an orange bag.....Please tell me you know them. We need some Ketchup, Taco and Bacon chips, OBVIOUSLY Old Dutch.

Let me know who is willing to take on this challenge, we will make it worth your while.

Thank you.

***UPDATE***
There is a guy from Calgary on EBay that sells all kinds of chips and chocolate bars. We bought some from him because he consolidates shipping and we were able to get them for a SOMEWHAT reasonable price. Dude is certainly making a substantial profit so for those looking for a business idea....

I wish I could help in your cause...help myself that is. I have quite the list of things I'd like from Canada as well. But I'm not paying for shipping for a 20 lb bad of Robin Hood Flour! :) You know Ryan and Jessica just came down to Utah from Canada right?!? (I know, I wish I would have thought about it sooner myself)...they could have mailed us our goods! (from the US to save on that rip off shipping)

I happen to know some people who are going to Canada in about a month . . . you might be able to bribe them to bring some back. Of course there is a chance they might get smashed, but we can try :)

Great...and now I'm craving ANY KIND of Old Dutch chips! My fave right now are dill pickle...although I'm always a sucker for salt and vinegar. I wonder if I'd eat them everyday if I lived in Canada...or if it's just the whole distance thing.
