So as it turns out, I was at Price Club (Costco as it is now called, for those of you that want to be anal about it) and saw chicken tortilla soup (my favorite) for 0.14 cents an ounce, the cheapest I have ever seen anything cost in my entire life. (When I am at Price Club, I don't actually look at the total price of anything, just the price per ounce, blame it on my dad--the life long grocery store clerk). So I bought the extremely cheap soup realizing only later that the reason it is only 0.14 per ounce is because it makes altogether 48 oz. of soup! That is way too much! What was I thinking buying enough tortilla soup (which, by the way, tortillas sold separately) to feed the entire Mexican population for a year? (ok, that was stereotypical.) The prospect of experiencing the monotony that is likely to ensue from eating the same kind of soup in "12 8-oz. servings" may in fact kill me. So long story short, (please, for the love of God) have some of my soup. It's conveniently located on the middle and bottom shelf of our refrigerator in two large tubs, and is currently elbowing out the milk.
