I can't say it's CHEAP unfortunately but we have a meat slicer and it slices things perfectly....The "apple chips" we slice and dehydrate are marketable!!! The initial investment is about $100 but maybe you can find a cheaper one used??? Good luck...Also, how about a "mandolin"....they would be cheaper.

Hi codajess,

I love chips and I use a mandoline. It's just a sturdy plastic piece with interchangeable blades. You could probably get one new pretty cheap at any store with kitchen items, or maybe checkout garage sales? Good luck.

Does the mandolin work as well as the meat slicer? I just dont want some big bulky appliance if I 1. won't use it that often and 2. don't need it. Is the mandolin easy to use?

Love my mandolin for SP chips. I got it at a thrift store for $.99! It is very easy!!!! Keep looking around. You can get them pretty cheap, even at a regular price. Mine is plastic with three interchangable blade and I have been using it for about 3 years. In the past 2 months have used it several times a week.

Happy shopping!

Thank you for your responses. I bought a mandolin for $8 last night. I haven't used it yet, but the blades are interchangeable. There's a grater and slicer and 2 other things.

Any favorite seasonings for SP chips?
