Poor people can’t afford canned soup, not since covid. Campbells was was 2/$1, $.79 at most. Now it’s $2. Progresso was 3/$5, maybe $1.50 per. Now it’s $2.79 each.

Crockpot or instapot and a freezer is the way, now.

    I guess Instant Pot really fucked up by not calling their product "Instapot," huh?

    I always thought that's what it was, then I googled "instapot" and found it's not actually a thing. TIL!

    ...I'm still gonna call it that, though.

    Blame English for being unpleasant to say a "T" sound followed by a "P" one.

    This is how the English language works.

    Yup. Crockpot with beans, rice, lentils, chopped veggies, a few bouillon cubes, spices, and whatever meat the grocery store has on clearance. The entire thing will average out to like $1 per bowl, and a big crockpot will keep a couple fed (lunch and dinner) for several days.

    Bruh costco chicken is like $5, get some chicken and make some chicken soup with that.

    $2 is insane for salt water

    Costco isn’t great. Sure, there’s those chickens, flannel, and socks, but most of the rest is no longer cheaper than anywhere else.

    We just break down whole fryers, make bone broth with everything that isn’t the meat, freeze it.

    Yeah the only time I touch canned goods, including seltzer (as I touched on in another comment) is when they're heavily discounted, and that's usually something like eight cans for five bucks, so we stock the shelf in the basement a bit, because it'd be real dumb to pass it up at the store on Monday, only to have the world end on Wednesday.
