soup is EXPENSIVE! One can is always more than a dollar and is only good for one meal but not filling enough alone for dinner. Would much rather buy a box of pasta that can last me at least 3 meals, is way more versatile and the same price if not cheaper.

I am not buying extra soups (I agree with Tidal that sometimes it can be a little pricey). Mostly I've increased the quality of the food I buy (which is more expensive) but I am able to strech it more (like a pack of pastured bacon from a local farm is $13 for a pound, but I've used only half of it in several recipes as a flavor enhancer or contrasts (as in salads, soups and in a pinch some mofongo when I was craving some seriously). I'm eating less, with higher quality (and in season) foods.
Besides, a lot of canned soups have a lot of sodium and funky ingredients. I used to love Campbells Gold label stuff though.

yes--but i've been making my own! once a week i throw together whatever veggies are languishing in the fridge in with lentils and make a HUGE pot of soup...cheaper and better for you than the canned kind!

Yes, I am eating soup more but not store bought - I make homemade soup with homemade cornbread.

Actually, no. I don't like soup.

Not really...I had some the other day but because I wanted to not to save money.

I happen to really love tomato soup .... so my soup purchases haven't really changed.

I have been eating more cereal though.

I've bought a couple of soup cans this past month but not to save money. I figured it would be easier to bring soup to work than it is to prepare a salad or sandwich. I hate the metallic taste the can tends to give the soup though.

No more than usual. I love soup too (canned soup, not homemade) and eat it 2-3 times a week for lunch. It's funny that people would buy it to save money because I've noticed in the last few months that soup prices have gone up and I get so annoyed paying $1.39 for a can of Campbells!

I can't even eat much canned soup, all that sodium equals lots of bloating later. I just avoid it.

I think soup and some crackers is the perfect lunch. It's like $1.50, how can you beat that? Fills me up just fine! I always have soup, not just because it's cheap, just something I always buy, more because it's easy!

I make my own soup with homemade chicken stock that I made. Nothing compares with that

Kinda. My apartment has always been pretty stocked with soups so it's really nothing new. I do love them so, though

yes i've been eating soup a lot more lately, partly due to money and partly due to the fact that i just don't have a craving for anything else. being a vegetarian, it's not like i would go the meat/fish/poultry route anyway, but soup has been a cheap thing for me to eat w/o going really un healthy with Ramen or things that are higher in sodium.

I know what you mean about most soups being better than Ramen...but damn do I love Ramen (although I tend to only fit into sweatpants after a nice big bowl of sodium with noodles!

I don't eat canned soup - there's way too much sodium for me to handle. And low-sodium soup just tastes incredibly bland. So, I just prefer to make my own.

When it comes to cheap eating, I stick to pasta and mostly Mediterranean or Polish foods.

I have been eating more soup lately, but not the canned kind. I make big batches of my own soup. It's very economical: you can use bones and very tough cuts of meat and lots of vegetables to make some decent soup for about 20 cents a serving.

WAAAAAAAAY too much sodium in canned soup and the low sodium stuff is gross. There are other ways to eat cheap...

I'm not a big fan of canned soup, but I always have a few cans in the pantry just in case I don't have anything to eat. And no, I haven't been buying more canned soup than usual. In fact, I've been buying less, just because I don't really like canned soup.

A grocery store by my house is closing this week, so I've been stocking up on lots of non-perishables for about half price. I haven't bought much soup, though.

The only kind of soup I like is Progresso brand Minestrone, even then it's like 2 dollars a can. So nope, lol.

Yes, but I make homemade soup. I make 12 cups at a time for my family and it lasts us 2-3 days.

I'm not a big fan of soup. Especially canned soup. The noodles are always mushy and it just tastes like salt to me.

Not soup, but I've been making a lot of curry! Curry paste and coconut milk are dirt cheap at my local Asian foods grocer.

A local quick stop station sells onions at a loss leader cost. I always have a stash of them around for making a huge pot of homemade French onion soup with homemade beef stock. SO much better than canned and super cheap. I freeze, in single serving bags, what I cannot use within two days. This way, I really don't have an excuse to dine out when I have some incredible soup at home!

Nope, I'm not a big fan of soup. We do have some though. We try to buy foods that will last a while so when we don't really have anything we can just get that out.

i make homemade veggie and lentil soup all the time. it's so easy and sooo filling. with a little bit of parmesan it's great.

I LOVE SOUP! Not so much from a can but I really like to make my own. Lately I've been on a hot n' sour soup kick. Tonight I'm thinking about making a thai green curry soup. Poor hubby is not a fan of soup - he will have to make his own dinner.
