O.K., I fail to follow your logic here. First, your math is off. That would be $3.62/lb. for the list below.

For home canning, IF I were to buy the same beef they are buying, it would cost me $.89/lb. on sale which translates into $0.78/14 oz. tin. BLSL chicken breasts on sale are $0.99/lb or the equalivalent of $0.86/14 oz. tin. I just bought boneless pork sirloin on sale (case pricing) for $1.39/lb but that is prime, farm raised (I know who is raising it) which translates to $1.22/14 oz. tin.

Those are all well below the prices of your 14 oz. tins below which are $3.17/ea.

Second, when you home can, you get to choice the quality of the meat (usually home grown) and what you do with it. Canning is usually done in quarts, pints and half-pints, or 32 oz., 16 oz. and 8 oz.

And, last but not least, Campbell's Chunky Roast Beef is a soup. It doesn't have that much meat in it. You are getting exactly what your money is worth!

3.11 per lb. Well, you can get a 1 lb. 2 oz can of Campbells Chunky Roast beef for $1.89, or; if you watch the ads, as low as a buck on sale. That does make the home canned stuff aspppear expensive. I wonder about thwe difference in taste. huh.............................
