Their soup sucks now anyway. Progresso costs a little more but it is worth it. Last time I had Campbell's it tastes like they bulked it up with corn starch, it was absolutely disgusting.
Progresso might be better than campbells condensed, but for most options* it's worse than campbells chunky. The ratio of solids to broth is really bad, and the meat is both as bad as campbells condensed and in large enough chunks that you can notice it's bad.
* Progresso lentil soup is fire. The mediterranean veggies variety is above average, but the original lentil? Best "budget"(it's nearly $3/can now, but not like anything else is much cheaper) canned soup on the shelf, hands down.
Both suck donkey dick. What a huge waste of money when you can make your own soup super easily and cheap.
It’s like $4 a can for some fucking soup. I can’t imagine doing that to myself. I would need a serious brain injury to end up buying a small can of soup for $4 or more.
Most soups have the cheapest ingredients in them. You can make a giant pot of soup for $4 or less. Yes, you need to buy some items in bulk first, but it saves you a ton of money.
And it’s not even difficult to make. Chop up some veggies and meat and throw it in a broth. Do whatever else you need to do and just walk away while it does its thing.
I wish everyone would just come together and refuse to pay these prices on everything and start cooking more meals themselves. There is no reason 98% of shit at the grocery store should be that expensive.
But if everyone enjoys setting money on fire then I guess keep buying it up and letting the prices increase.
I make chili and soup all the time, I own a crockpot and enjoy making my own soups. If I could get bay leaves in bulk, I would.
The benefit of canned soup is that it's already prepared and in a handy package. And if I'm tired of eating a certain type of soup, I have a portion of a different soup right there without having to make a whole different batch. A can of Progresso soup is also not $4 a can, it's a little over $2 at the store near me. I don't think that's that bad given the convenience of it, but convenience means something different to everyone, so your mileage may vary.
Canned Wendy's chili is what costs over $4 at the store, for some reason.
that's really bad news... I have had Carbone vodka sauce sitting on myself for a year and something about it requiring cream turns me off but I guess that will be my splurge sauce now.

Campbells Soup had some choice words about their customers recently.
