You know it's the middle of soup season when you see that Walmart has established an island for Campbell's Tomato and Chicken Noodle Soups in its main grocery aisle.
Walmart's motto is "everyday low prices", which for an iconic can of Campbell's Tomato Soup in December 2016 means a cost to consumers of $1.00 per can.
To put that everyday low price into historical context, we've charted the advertised discounted sale price of a single Number 1 can of Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup for each month from January 1898 through December 2016.

That's 118 years worth of consumer prices for a single product!
