I was so excited to find a can of Campbell’s Pepper Pot soup in my corner store, I neglected to notice I was paying $2.89. For a can of soup.

I can understand the desire. It’s good soup.
Wow, haven’t had that in years — decades, even. Really good with a couple cups of Minute Rice (so there’s no liquid left).
Make it last – add rice or noodles, add other mjummmie ingredients.
Then enjoy it for at least two or three meals. With bread, mind you.
Dunk the bread.
We have our freezer full of ‘mega’ meals. Some containers with greens (my GF makes the best!!), some with beans, some with whatever, add rice or noodles.
We try to cook cheaply for many. Then freeze it. We have ‘wholesome’ meals for many many days in our freezer.
No, we don’t have a separate freezer, it’s just the one smaller compartment above the fridge itself.
If/when you cook, do it for a family of 5 (minimum) then freeze it if you can. If you cannot freeze it – forget it.
Our freezer right now is being taken up with beans, greens, curries, hachee (dutch beef stew).
All we have to do is cook the rice or noodles – dinner’s ready.
What I’m saying is: don’t cook for ONE person, cook for MANY.
If YOU don’t have the freezer capacity – ask a neighbor or a friend to store it for you.
Even when I/we get a job again, our cooking habits won’t change.
Oh, and did I mention POTATOES???
I’m Dutch, I LOVE potatoes, plus they’re cheap!
Campbell’s knows that the people who really want it and need it will pay for it…
What a load of tripe!
Interesting — I haven’t seen any of that stuff since moving to California 44 years ago.
I wonder if it’s available outside of the northeast, and what made them bring it back.
I haven’t seen it in years, which is why I was so excited to find it.
Progresso Clam Chowder at Safeway out here = $3.89
Yeah, but this is Campbell’s, which is still supposed to be cheaper.
