I last purchased this in November of 2014 and paid $1.50 for the 18.5 oz can.  I'm a fan of clam chowder and probably enjoy a can at least once a week.  I like the Progresson traditional version of this product as well.  There are several recipes out there using clam chowder as a main ingredient and in my review of Campbell's clam chowder I included their recipe for spaghetti clam chowder - so easy.
