Yeah.... maybe in 1985. You can't even buy generic soups under a buck, unless they're on sale, for the past 3-5 years.
No we could get them fairly regularly (Cambells as well as non-name brands) for 50 cents a can (not all just tomato and vegetable and such) but lately All soups are a buck a can or more.
But our area is usually well below others for food prices but that seems to be ending now.
Same with canned vegetables and canned corn. We could get them for 35 cents a can fairly regularly till about the beginning of the year now you are lucky to find any for 50 cents a can and usually 75 cents or more.
