What is your primary consideration when buying tuna fish?

Tuna fish is one of the staples of the American diet.  Which one of us hasn’t had tuna fish as a school lunch, on a picnic or just as a late night snack?! 

So, we’re curious, what makes you decide to buy one type or another of this pantry staple?

    Although I do prefer BumbleBee tuna for me the choice is always finalized based on the sale price and/or coupon. I simply stock up when it is on sale.

    My kids love tuna but you never know what its going to look like when you open the can-sometimes fine, others all mushy or red- kind of grosses me out!

    We buy any kind of tuna...except the albacore, b/c of the mercury.

    I like different brands of tuna. I love that vocalpoint sent out those coupons that let us get those Starkist Creations pouches for such a reasonable price. Those are sooo good. I love the garlic and herb one

    I buy Starkist solid white albacore in water. I limit it to about 2-3 sandwiches per week. I love this staple that we can all agree on!

    My primary concern is the mercury.

    As a kid we ate a lot of tuna fish, and I continued it when I got married. Myh husband also likes it a lot too. We usually like to eat Sunkist or Bumble Bee tunas. I prefer the cans over the pouches. With Lent coming up soon we will be even eating more than we do now. It is great on sandwiches or in a casserole.

    I have had positive experience with many brands of tuna. I buy mine in water and prefer to get the big can for a better value.

    I can't stand the smell of canned tuna. I'll only eat it if someone else prepares it.

    I buy whatever is on sale with a coupon. I have 4 cats that like tuna so we have to give them some when we have it.
