I Compared Prices For The Same Soup -Wow!

ECBG — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 21:01:15 GMT

I was feeling slightly cool, so I opened up my last Healthy Choice Vegetable Beef soup which is yummy!

My grocery store occasionally has the cans 2 for $4, but not often.

I checked Walmart, their "better" choices were Progresso which is popular and I don't care for.

I went to amazon. For a case of 15 oz cans, one vendor got up to $4.67 an OUNCE for the soup! That's right, an OUNCE!!! The other 20 cents an ounce.

What a shock! At least at our store, we get gas points! Geeee.....

@ECBG I make my own soups....so easy and cheap! You are correct groceries are high ...inflation out of control....gas almost $5.00 on the west coast! As taxes rise, policies enacted, and crisis ignored....we are in for a ride. Staying calm and strong...we will weather the storm. In the meantime, I'm being grateful for the little things, like a yummy bowl of soup!

Edited: Costco has Amy's soup at a reasonable price...not bad for a canned soup.

@ECBG Although I don't order groceries on Amazon, almost everything else I've ordered there (toiletries & cosmetics, things like that) are almost always higher priced there. Guess we're paying for the convenience of next day shipping? Some vendors do outright gauge prices though.

@RooRoo

I usually do better with walmart when I am so busy I can't breathe! In this case, they didn't have the product I wanted.

I have a Sam's card, but they only carry the soups with chicken.

We don't have a Cosco.

I really fill the cart when that soup is on sale!

We are rural ( three hours from Phoenix) so no Costco, Sams etc. However, I order online from both and both have mostly free ( several days) delivery. I just noticed that Sams has tons of soups by the case at very good prices.

That's an error on the site. It's the same $.20 an ounce as the other one. But the second one does have a $43.00 shipping charge on top of it!

it pays to be a diligent shopper and price checker. The only prepared soup I buy are the keto varieties from Kettle and Fire. They're pricey, though, so I don't eat them very much. If we're having soup or chili, I make it myself.

@ECBG We always keep a good stock of the Healthy Choice soups with chicken--the noodle and the rice. They are pretty good--with added hot sauce! Or leftover real rice, sometimes some leftover veggies or especially tomatoes!

Dollar Tree always has Healthy Choice soup in stock. And yes, it's only one dollar. They carry four varieties. I just bought several cans this week. Expiration date: October, November 2022.

I make my own because I have to watch my salt intake....

My Mom loved that soup though...

Home made is best for sure, but good to have something on hand when you can't make your own.
