The return of warm weather marks the end of soup season, and in 2026, it also marked the end of the big discounts that several grocery selling retailers were offering for Campbell's Tomato Soup in April.
Since then, prices for Campbell's second-best selling soup have risen at four of the ten major national and regional grocery stores and retailers that we track. Even so, the rolling twelve-month average price of a 10.75 fluid ounce can of Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup declined in the three months since our previous snapshot, from $1.15 to $1.12 per can.
That's a consequence of the higher prices of early 2025 being replaced by the much lower sale prices of early 2026 in the trailing year average. Even though prices at some retailers have risen since our last snapshot, they are generally lower than what we recorded in early 2025.
Here are the prices we observed at our ten purveyors of Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup and how they've changed since our April 2026 snapshot:
- Walmart: Increase of $0.28 to $1.28 (+28.0%).
- Amazon: Increase of $0.28 to $1.28 (+28.0%).
- Kroger: Increase of $0.50 to $1.50 (+50.0%).
