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?

    I love in the pouch because you dont spill the water on you when opening it like you do with a can. Everyone knows that smell will stay on you for a whole day, no matter how many times you wash after.

    We love tuna in this house. We usually will only get the white albacore tuna. Its a lot healthier for you and it has a better taste

    we love the starkist tuna, and thanks to being signed up at vocalpoint, have gotten so many high-value coupons that we're definitely stocked up. I agree that the pouches are "expensive" but if you use coupons wisely, you can get them for a great price!
