Tuna isn’t cheap. Drain it and then weigh the meat without the water. Then figure how much it is per pound. You’d be surprised.

No I won’t be suprised. I know it is expensive. However, we set up our 6 month emergency supply to include fish once a week. Tuna and salmon in cans fits the bill. And I like tuna noodle casserole twice a month. Of course, I did buy them on sale too.

Good thing hubby and I like beans. LOL.

You've got that right ... especially the solid white albacore tuna that I buy. If it weren't for the 8-packs sold at Sam's I wouldn't be buying it at all. BTW, it now takes 3 cans to make a tuna cassarole, where it used to take 2. I think they are 5 oz. now, instead of 7 oz. Grrrrr.

We used to buy Albacore Tuna right off the boats and can it it half pints and there was almost 50% waste before it got in the jars. It is a stinking job and I set up a big camp stove in the garage to pressure cook them 2 canners at a time. 15# pressure for 90 minutes and set up a tv or read books watching them.
