Default Tomato Bisque vs Tomato Soup (again)

On Fri 16 May 2008 08:24:09p, Sqwertz told us...

All that talk about tomato soup/bisque and grilled cheese sandwiches
gave me that urge. After looking in three grocery stores stores, I
finally found Campbell's Tomato Bisque at Fiesta Mart.

$2.79 for the standard size can!?!?!

Somebody must have bumped their head if they think that can is $2.79
worth of soup. It was set off from the rest of the Campbell's stuff
like it was in a special class of it's own. The ingredients of both
soups looked the same except from some bits of tomato and some cream
(right after 'wheat flour' in the ingredients list - must have been
a lot of cream, eh?). I guess they thought they could get more for
it since it had French on it.

I settled on the $.69 can of regular tomato soup. So it's grilled
cheese and Campbell's tomato soup (made with half and half and some
chopped tomato) for lunch tomorrow.

Then I'd say Fiesta Mart was ripping their customers off. I bought some
more Tomato Bisque yesterday at Safeway and paid $1.29/can. It was well
worth the difference to me over their tomato soup slop.
