I started this blog to focus on budget minded items and travel ideas, but have found that sometimes quality is worth paying for. Case in point--tuna. I managed to get some Wild Planet Tuna on sale at our local grocery store and WOW what a difference!! Now I know how my dogs feel when faced with kibble or homemade dog food. Sorry, but even the dolphin safe mainstream tuna doesnt cut it once you've had wild caught, sustainable seafood.
So, I did some research on canned tuna. Here's what I found. There are two recommended companies on the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch list for canned tuna: Wild Planet and American Tuna. Only one of them is truly American owned and made and that's American Tuna. But wait there's more! Not only do you get more product, but the tuna is pole caught, certified dolphin and turtle safe and canned in BPA free cans in the USA! It's also certified low mercury tuna. Awesome! Every so often American Tuna runs specials. I bought a case on their Fourth of July sale and got free shipping too! When you price it per ounce, it really is a great deal for what you get. So this budget friendly consumer won't be buying anything else from now on.
American Tuna you had me at Turtle and Dolphin Safe.
