First, let me say that tuna has been a pretty good bargain for a long time. I’ve been tracking prices for years, and I am still able to get tuna for 49¢ a can - same as years ago. A lot of the time, I need to go to Aldi or Save-A-Lot to get that price, but the grocery stores tend to put it on sale for 49¢ a can quite frequently.

Well, the past few weeks, I’ve been doing better than 49¢ a can, courtesy of the grocery store loss leaders. Maybe it’s a Lenten special. But a couple of weeks back, it was 38¢ a can. I bought several cans, and had planned to get more, but the sale ended. Before I could kick myself for procrastinating, a different grocery store had it on sale 3 cans for 99¢. Hmmm…33¢ a can is an even better deal. The limit was three cans, and I wasted no time in getting my cheaper tuna.

Now, this week - one of the grocery stores has tuna for 28¢ a can. I am loving this! I scooped up six more cans of tuna the second day of the sale, and supplies were already getting low. I mean, 28¢ a can is a great, great price!

I’m not sure the low prices will continue over the next few weeks, or if this is it, and I’ll be back to 49¢ per can tuna. I do see a lot of tuna sandwiches in our future. Or cold tuna and noodle salad. I wish I could use it for casseroles, but that’s where my husband draws the line. Apparently, he believes that tuna, like revenge, is a dish best served cold.
