laura_juggles Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I haven't wanted to spend over $3US on a can of tuna, so I've been checking everywhere to see if I can hunt down an affordable can of tuna in water. They all had vegetable broth and listed soy in the allergen warnings. Until last night I was in Walmart (mainly for cat food, please don't judge) and, for kicks, checked out the canned tuna. Looked at a can of "very low sodium" tuna and all the ingredients listed tuna and water! Less than $2 a can in the Northeastern US as of yesterday. So while brands may vary by region, and so I'm not mentioning the brand, I just thought it might be helpful for newbies on a budget (like me!) to have in the back of your mind to take a look at the regular ol' brands of tuna in a low sodium option. I can add salt to my tuna. I don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 We always bought Polar brand at Meijer for 1.19 per can. See if you can find that one anywhere -- it is compliant, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If you can't find any in your bigger stores, Italian or European delis/grocers may have some, either in brine (salty water) or olive oil. I often find tiny cans there, perfect for travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our options tend to be brine, spring water, olive oil or sunflower oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm actually starting to see soybean oil in more products here... blech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's not packaged in a soy product, but they put some kind of soy in the vegetable broth (apparently to give it flavor?). So many of the cans I looked at said blah blah tuna in spring water and in the ingredients listed Tuna, Water, Vegetable Broth and then in the allergen warning it says fish and soy.

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2016 I often get the case of Wild Planet tuna from Amazon subscribe & save. If you just order the 12 cans of tuna, the price works out to $3 a can. If you order at least 5 different items using Subscribe & Save, you get a 15% discount, and then the tuna works out to $2.54 a can. Once you subscribe to an item you can set the frequency of shipments to as infrequently as "once every 6 months." If you decide you don't want to continue subscribing there is no obligation to continue. Some other Whole30 things you can get from Subscribe & Save: Big tub of coconut oil Native Forest coconut milk Avocado oil Wild Planet wild sardines in water 5 lb bag of Swiss Water Processed decaf coffee cheesecloth pecans ghee I haven't done a lot of price comparing on everything above, the convenience of having a case of tuna and coconut milk, etc delivered to my door is my driving motivation!
