Ditto. However, I do know that my local supermarket, which pales
in comparison to the likes of Publix, has a salad bar and a couple
of 'soup of the day' offerings. I imagine that, at least during the
winter, you can find chili there. That kind of thing is the norm
where I live.

I did once buy a container of chili at Whole Foods, you could
serve yourself a couple of different sizes, I think. Just wanted
to try it and I was hungry. It wasn't bad, but I make better and
it's really an expensive way to eat.
