Did canned tuna ever go on sale in your area over the holidays? I was waiting to stock up but it never went on sale. Guess that’s one more thing telling us what’s coming down the road....
Not during the holidays, but between Christmas and Easter there were several times 5 oz. cans of tuna have gone on sale for 3 for $1 with a store coupon, with a limit of 9 cans each time. I was able to pick up about 45 cans at that price over a couple of months here in Oregon.
I would note that only one store in our area had it on sale at a good price during that time period. Most others wanted at least 50 cents per can even on sale and the majority have had it “on sale” at $1 per can for the cheap tuna.
That “sale price” has always just been for albacore tuna in the past. The size of the cans has also gone down from 7 oz. cans to 5 oz. cans.
I personally don’t consider it to be a real sale price on the cheap stuff unless it is under 50 cents per can and under $1 for the albacore.
The same store I mentioned in my previous post on the subject had tuna on sale again this week in the Sunday paper. The price is 3 cans for $1 with a store coupon. Once again there is a limit of 9 cans, per coupon. I will probably pick up 9 more cans, just to replenish what we have used since the last time it went on sale.
