Answer 2

Although your body could be craving salt, there's nothing in chips that would actually be addictive.  It's more of a habit - you reach for chips, or think about chips, first when you want a snack.  It's obviously not the healthiest snack, but probably one of the cheapest ones:) ...  Try putting some dishes with fresh fruit or cut-up veggies in the front of your refrigerator, so you see them first when you open it.  Or, get some big bags of store-brand popsicles, which are really cheap.......

Its kinda an addiction but its not your body, its your mind. buy less and less each time you go to the store, and keep telling yourself your tired of spending the money. Its hard, but eventually it will work. You don't have to completely stop, just.. cut back

A person can get addicted to anything in our modern society.  I am addicted to this forum, for example.
