Making ends meet
Papersatan:
The normal sized one, the "100 chips in every can" one. Also they have them as a special buy at Aldi all the time. You guys have made me want Pringles now. :/
Lupercal:
Well, it turns out that supermarkets in the UK are in fact doing buy one Easter egg, get 2 free. Walked out of work the other day with a load of them. £2.50 for 3 easter eggs? Hells yeah. Then I remember that its Lent and I shouldn't really be indulging, but meh.
I'm more of a fan of Doritos and triangular-nacho type crisps (or 'chips') because flavoured Pringles taste weird after about half a tube. And lets face it, you're at least going to eat half a tube.

Here is a question about frugality.
There is a product by Smashbox (it is called Photo Finish if you are wondering) that I use in place of foundation in the summer. It is a clear base that takes away shine and makes my skin look super smooth and pretty. 1 oz of this stuff costs $44. I was debating buying it and the sales person showed me a drugstore-brand equivalent for only $21. However, the jar only contains 0.5 oz. Should I just splurge on the brand name that I have used in the past, because in essence it's the same price?
McTaggart:
If you're happy with the one you're using and the difference is, what, <5% then keep doing what you're doing. Think of the extra money as insurance that you're getting a product you know you like and not risking dropping $20 on a product that could be really crappy and would just go to waste anyway.
pwhodges:
You may also find that one or the other (most likely the branded one) will go further in use, and therefore be more economical in any case. There's probably no way to tell without trying them, though.
