Costco is an excellent place to buy in bulk. Need a dozen muffins or several rolls of paper towels? Costco has got you covered. But as someone cooking for one, I tend not to buy in bulk unless it’s a really good deal. And the No. 1 high-protein canned food that I can’t pass up at Costco is Genova Seafood’s Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil.
Genova Seafood sells their tuna in a pack of six 7-ounce cans for $17.99, or about $2.99 per can. Compared to Hannaford, my local grocery store, buying this brand of canned tuna at Costco is a much better deal. At Hannaford, a single 3-ounce can of yellowfin costs $3.19—so if I wanted to get the same amount of tuna, I’d have to buy 14 cans, which would cost me $44.66. So shopping at Costco allows me to save money. Plus, since it’s a canned good, I can stock up and let it sit in the pantry for months (although I usually go through it much more quickly than that).
Is Canned Tuna Healthy?
One of my favorite ways to eat tuna at dinnertime is theEasy Tuna Cakes with Greens & Lemon Dressing. The cakes come together in just 15 minutes, so it’s perfect for a busy weeknight. Meanwhile, a simpleTuna Saladpaired with crackers and sliced veggies is an easy lunch that I like to make, especially during the hot summer months when I don’t want to turn on the stove. Although I might make an exception for aTuna Melt—because who can say no to a cheesy sandwich?
While I haven’t quite figured out how to incorporate tuna into my breakfast, it’s only a matter of time with my cans of Genova Seafood’s Yellowfin Tuna sitting in the pantry. So the next time you’re at Costco, keep an eye out for this deal and you’ll be enjoying tuna at every meal.
