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 tend to buy brands that I trust that either come recommended by family or friends.

    I don't really like seafood, but tuna is one thing I will eat occasionally. I will purchase whatever is the cheapest. I usually wait for a sale on the name brands and stock up.
