It's going to be a Soup-a-Day

In an effort to get back to good health and of course to lose a bit of weight, I'm having a soup day each week. In other words a tin of soup will be my main meal of that day.

There is one soup that I really like and that is Baxter's Cream of Chicken but not their other flavours. I was looking to stock up and did a search on the internet for all the main supermarkets in our area, this is what I found:

Sainsburys - £1.10 per tin
Waitrose - £1.10 per tin (other flavours cheaper)
Tescos - £0.99 per tin
Asda - £0.75 per tin
Morrisons - £0.50 per tin (Special offer)

That was for identical size and weight. I therefore jumped into my car and set off to my nearest Morrisons and the deal was made.

See it was a Soup-a-day for bargain shopping.

Nice! we got an Aldi & Lidl as of last year, havent tried their soup yet

@amfrumbiddivurd Yes Andy, so do we but they don't sell Baxter's |Soup. Mind you I like to shop there.

[Peter Day]

Why not make your own soup, we do, it is very easy and much better for you.

[Sue Cooper]

Well done with your bargain Lady M. If you ever get bored with Baxter's chicken soup try a few different ones from Aldi. My very favourite soups come from there.

@peterday Life's too short to make soup Peter. I prefer to be out and about taking photos.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@susiemc Quite right Sue and yes I know that Aldi do good soups, love an Aldi shop.

Does it help, Heather, a soup day a week? If it does, I'm going to try it too...

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@gijsje It has before Bep, usually on a Monday to get over the Sunday roast.

@peterday @susiemc I'm with you, homemade soup is divine and a joy to eat. Good old morrishops as morrisons was called by eldest when he was tiny and now its stuck!

@ladymagpie
Thanks, Heather.

Have to agree with others above - the best soup is homemade soup - you know what's in it! Definitely less calories, therefore you'll lose more weight :) Hint - I make one big batch and then freeze it in serving sizes in zip-lock bags -the best advice I was given by a friend :)

Nicely captured - looks good!

[Sandy]

You answered all my questions in your commentary. You like chicken soup, and you went shopping to Morrisons.

[Joseph M Snaith]

Sounds like a plan to me.....

I buy tinned grapefruit & whereas Booths is £1.30 Morrisons is 60p so good old Morrisons! I don't normally shop around but that's a big drop in price, same with your soup.
