"Katayama Crunchy Chili Onion Home Spice is very close in taste and quality to Trader Joe's Crunchy Chili Onion. Yet the Dollar Tree version is only $1.50 a jar, or $3 for 6.36 ounces, while TJ's is $4.49 for a six-ounce jar. Katayama's version is bold, bright, and punchy and contains a blend of oil, dried onion, garlic, red chili, paprika, and salt and pepper."
"A 24-pack of 3.18-ounce jars of crunchy chili onion is $36, or 47 cents per ounce. By comparison, you would need to buy 12 to 13 jars of the Trader Joe's version to get a comparable volume, which would run you $53 to $58, or 74 cents per ounce."
"With the best chili crisp brands ranging in price from $10 to $40 a jar, it's easy to understand why shoppers would be looking for a more budget-friendly alternative. Luckily, this Dollar Tree dupe is actually as good as its Trader Joe's counterpart."
