Tuna

I can barely find any tuna in the stores right now. There is none at all at Sam's, where I usually buy. There is an abundance of canned chicken. Very strange. Anyone else finding the shortage of tuna in your area? I've noticed the fresh chicken shortage, but I know the reason for that. Haven't heard anything about tuna.

I never even knew there was such a thing as canned chicken. Well, there is Chcken of the Sea. But that's tuna. lol

I haven't had a problem finding tuna, so your stores will probably be getting shipments in soon.

I got the Chicken of the Sea Hot Buffalo tuna (5.5 oz) foil packets at my last Wal-Mart grocery pick-up run. They also have different varieties of this, along with Great Value brand varieties. Limit of two. This was last Sunday.

Just got a six can pack of Kirkland chicken from a Costco delivery today. Limit of one. Makes great tortilla chicken soup in my Instant pot.

Canned salmon by chicken of the sea is very good also.

@jpie My husband loves the six pack cans of Kirklands chicken.

Our area had tuna (at least on Monday when I shopped). I bought a Starkist four pouch box.

Yes, I should have bought it when I saw the Bumble Bee Solid White Albacore 8 pack at Costco.

I figured it would be cheaper on sale ... bad idea...I can only find chunk light and chunk light albacore.

I eat tuna almost everyday. I really like the Italian tuna & can't find it right now.

I have plenty of tuna, thanks to BJ's, where I was able to get two packages of 6. Costco was rationing it, even though I use the Italian tuna in olive oil, not the ones in water which I thought would be more popular.

You reminded me of Jessica Simpson.

Yes, I remember that! That's what I thought of. Could she have actually thought she was eating chicken??

Thanks everyone for your input. Curious thing.🤷‍♀️ Never know what will be missing when I go shopping. Thankful for what I can find. Went for rice-a-roni and that was gone. Decided to make my own.😉

@sunshine45 I'm not sure if I have had Italian tuna. Could you share how it's different?

I went shopping on Monday to Walmart. There were tons of canned tuna for sale. No problems here, in Vegas.

Yes tuna has been sold out several times over the last couple of months in our stores. Especially the pouch packages of it.

Renata - maybe your timing to buy tuna was off.

Yesterday we went to Costco for hamburger for the dog. They had none. In fact my husband said the meat section had no meat. Today he stopped by Costco just to see if they had any hamburger. He said they had many packages.

And it also happened to us at Sam's. My son likes YooHoo. Last time we went - none. So my husband just went to Sam's. He said they had tons of YooHoo.

And when you watch people leaving the store sometimes you are amazed that the store still has certain items. I saw a man at Costco return an entire flatbed cart filled with cases of Hellman's Mayonnaise. It had to be close to an entire skid of Hellman's.

And I saw one lady at Sam's, her entire cart was filled past the top with SlimFast. I am sure she took every bottle.

You can look on line and see what the stock is for your tuna at each Sam's Club. We checked on line for the Yoohoo before my husband drove to Sam's today.

When staying in first started I had trouble finding the lowest priced one at Wal-mart , but not lately . I always keep a stash of tuna.

I like to share a can with my cats (separate dishes of course ) DH doesn't like it plain. I like a meal of a hard boiled egg , sweet gherkins , a sprinkle of onion powder , & dollop of mayo . --a lazy tuna salad.

@Renata22

Tuna .... No problem at all at my local supermarket. I use lots of canned tuna, sardines and canned salmon ... always able to find it. I keep a lot on hand.

I went shopping yesterday ..... things I found that they were out of / low on were:

Goya and Campbell canned foods. Soup shelf was almost empty.

Coffee-Mate flavors

Jar of olive spread - none at all

I mentioned the canned goods to one of the managers ... he said he was expecting delivery today.

My thinking is that with restaurants closed so many people eating all their meals at home, shelves are emptying quicker. My supermarket is just down the block - so it's not a big deal if I have to make another stop in a few days.
