lol, yeah, but its one meal a day and just on workdays, so its really 5x/week. And like I said, its part of a meal along with salad or leftovers from whatever I cooked for the week.

That's not so bad then. It still cracks me up though when you make a post about buying 20 cans of soup/chili. Do the checkout people say anything to you?
You would be amazed at how many people do this....

Well I got excited! That's as good a deal as you're going to get unless you make the soup yourself, except this lasts for a long time.

Sometimes they say something like, "stocking up?" with a smile. I do the same with frozen meats and veggies, although I've got a solid backstock on those. In fact I need to make some stir-frys next week to get through my broccoli and green beans.

I stock up because its less expensive to buy canned food than a bunch of fresh food because it won't go bad, and if I don't have time to cook, something like this is a thousand times better than a fast food lunch, and 5-7x less expensive too. If I have too much fresh stuff and it doesn't get used, then its money you're literally throwing away.

Although I do buy fresh food a lot and try to mostly eat that for health reasons. The canned/frozen stuff gives me food when I run out/something goes bad.

Do you cook one thing and eat it all week?

Canned soup and chili is horribly high in sodium,sometimes as high as 40% of the daily value. Even the low sodium ones are too high.

Frequently.

Which is why I said you just have to watch your sodium intake the rest of the day.

There's no way in hell I could do that. I'm sick of something about halfway through the first batch of leftovers.

Way too many people go hungry for me to justify throwing away healthy food which hasn't gone bad. Heat it back up and eat it up! (Oddly enough, my parents never used the "starving children in Africa" line to get me to eat)
