I Compared Prices For The Same Soup -Wow!

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.

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!

Ditto!

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!
