Who actually buys six packs of Ritz?
Honestly, there are two types of people here. First, the cheeseboard host who always runs out of something to pair with the brie. Second, someone who will absolutely demolish half a pack standing over the kitchen counter at 11pm, telling themselves it's fine because it's cheese flavoured. No judgement. I've been both.
Ritz cheese crackers are not complicated. They're buttery, a bit salty, with that faint artificial cheese edge that somehow works anyway. The texture is spot on, that satisfying snap without crumbling into your lap. For a crackers biscuit at this price point, you're not getting anything pretentious and that's rather the point.
The practical bit
At roughly 140g per pack across six boxes, you're set for a while. They store fine, last ages in a cupboard, and are the kind of thing you forget you have until they're genuinely useful. Good for kids' lunchboxes, decent with soup, and they do the job at a party without anyone complaining.
My one reservation is the cheese flavour specifically. It's not sharp, not complex, just a mild savouriness. If you want something with a bit more personality, the original Ritz might actually suit you better. But for snacking on autopilot, these are not half bad.
Is the price actually a deal?
With Subscribe and Save bringing it lower, this is solid value for branded crackers. Not a jaw-dropping discount, but the kind of quiet, sensible buy that makes sense if you go through them regularly. Stock up if you're a fan. Skip it if you've got half a cupboard already full.
