One of the things we haven't had lately is chicken cacciatore.

There are many ways to make chicken cacciatore, but we had found a quick, delicious way to do it several years ago, with a new soup Campbell's had come up with, Italian Tomato soup. It had basil and garlic in it, and cooked with the chicken, made a very tasty cacciatore indeed.

Then the Italian Tomato soup disappeared and we were disappointed. But a few months later Campbell's came out with something called Roasted Garlic and Tomato soup. It was pretty much the same thing and was, as with the previous edition, with the regular soups.

Almost a year ago, the Roasted Garlic and Tomato soup disappeared.

Grumble, growl, grump...

Lo and behold, we were in WallyWorld today and James came to a dead stop in the soup aisle and called me. Campbell's now has a line of Select soups that come in little cartons, not condensed. And there—for twice the price of the old cans—is a new version: Italian Tomato Soup With Basil and Garlic.

Yeah, we bought some. It's not like we have cacciatore every week, and we've missed it.

But ain't it funny how you can double the price of a product simply by sticking a "special" or "select" sticker on it?
