By happenstance...Campbells Select soups (18 0z. or so) went on sale locally @ $1.25 ea. (reg. $2.69). They seem to taste alright; have pull off tabs and the best expiration dates are normally Jan./Feb. of '10 in my area.

While still agreeing with the assertion made here that stores should be varied along the lines of those less 'commercial' items mentioned...are there any other long term grocery style items occasionally on sale like this that the practical citizen should look out for? (it would seem that many items would be easier to rotate...if you actually enjoyed eating them in the first place).

Thanks also for the previous suggestions.
