9. Can you heat up a can of soup?
A can of Progresso soup costs less than $2.00. You can heat it up in a microwave or on the stove -- real easy.

Yogurt and fruit is less than $3 too but not too filling.

34. I was sick last week, and needed soup to cure me...
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 02:44 PM by Lisa0825
and I actually still like Ramen... but I dress it up by smashing crackers in it and mixing in a slice of American cheese. Makes it gooey and yummy:-)

I don't normally have it because it's terrible for my diet, so now it's actually a cheat food for me!LOL
