Fussy, is it?

It's much better value to everyone to buy sustainable fish rather then trawler eco system destroying byproduct. Cold.

Please consider a brand which has been sustainably sourced, like Sainsburys own brand or Waitrose own brand.

Wouldn't feed that stuff to next doors cat!

Heat, that's like 50p a tin :smiley:

good deal!

Good deal!

No just doesn't like tuna that tastes disgusting. John West better value at twice the price

Twice the price?

Most places locally to me anyway sell John west 4 tins for £2.50-£3

Agree though Princes is crap IMO, not voted though as it's still a cheap deal

​taste is individual, thus rendering your comment irrelevant, I'm happy buying this at £2 for a 4 pack, hot from me

3 for £1 in farmfoods last week i got some

Its always cheap at home bargain

I don't think my comment is irrelevant, you can see when you open the tin its from poor quality cuts which in my opinion is why it tastes so bad. Always about this price in Home Bargains & B&M's because it really is poor quality

Was 2 packs for £5 yesterday. heat

Haha

For tuna chunks this is great! Thanks OP :smile:

How do they get a whole tuna into such a small tin?

picked up the tuna in sunflower oil earlier on instore

Great thank you

You obviously eat a lot of it as the mercury has gone to your brain!

Chunks now = shreds

Here come the tuna nerds.

Good deal, bought quite a lot of John West tuna, gonna buy some if this try it and if it's good fill the house.. XD

It's never £2 for 4 tins in home bargains, cheapest I've seen it is at £2.99. There seems to be people with biased views on here trying to hamper a really good deal

There is no league table from what I can see following the link all it is is an article about john west using unsustainable fishing methods.

Aldi is the worst tuna I have tried and god know why you have totally fabricated your statement?. Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsburys and Waitrose all sell better products than the overpriced mouldy products that Aldi put on their shelves, if you work you backside off for them that's fine but leave your drivel off of this site please, Aldi only have 5% market share the reason for this is that they mostly sell a load of low quality products. If you are happy eating it then fine but keep the nonesense to yourself.

Exactly. Just accept the fact that some people are smelly gluttons scavenging Home Bargains for cheapest piece of crap they can find while exposing poorly tattooed butterfly on their stretch mark covered lower backs. Move on with your life, you won't change their minds or expectations and end up frustrated about something that isn't worth it.

Cheers. Just asked local food bank and they're really short of tinned fish :smiley:

Good deal if it wasn't tuna

No, luckily not this one. They tend to have a lot of beans and pasta as that's what most people bring.

All varieties OUT OF STOCK

Which one?

NONE in the Stamford Hill branch in London!

Mind you they almost never have any of the really cheap deals!

Recommend trying Asda and Tesco own brand, bigger tins and tastes better - usually cheaper too.

But if you have to stick to your brands decent price

If you'd like your children and grandchildren to eat tuna in less than 50 years time please don't buy this stuff, it's cheap for a reason. Keep an eye out instead for tins with either, "Sustainable", or "Pole and Line Caught" on the sides. Waitrose's own tuna for example tastes fantastic and is sustainable enough for tuna to still be around for many centuries to come.

Not an Aldi fan then?

It's all about the Brine, bout the Brine, no Oil.

Princes tuna are nasty! I guess some may like it! John west has much better taste. Not voted

Wouldn't buy anything from Morrisons and definitely not this rubbish.

Who knew people were so passionate about Tuna?!

Prefer a crisp sandwich myself!

Great price though! Heat!

'tuna chunks' hmmmm more like factory floor sweepings :man:

​it is, most of these bargain type places like home bargains, bnm bargains etc it's often 4 for £2 or if not individual tins are 50p.. Havent voted on this deal as i consider 50p per tin the standard price like 25p per can for tinned pop anything over i wouldnt buy... Oh and yes its chunks and not flakes

Wow! Can't believe how hot this deal has gone

Tuna seems to have gone up a lot in price over the last year or so. I try to buy the sustainable ones but I bought the one in spring water for my cat who wolfs it down..he can't read labels!

​well it's a good starting point. what's your expertise in the area and how do you gather your primary research? how do you verify what the brands and retailers tell you? and do you get out much on your research ship to go and check?

Out of all the tins of tuna available, Aldi's line caught sustainability sourced tuna steak is the best - around 90p a can, the can is alot bigger than this chep stuff, and the tuna inside is proper tuna steak not the dreggs like this cheaper stuff. Like alot of people have said buy sustainable / dolphin friendly if your budget allows.

£3 in my local morrisons !

I "totally fabricated my statement"? Wow. The link is right there to the table showing my "fabricated" statement. There are 2 links which you obviously didn't notice. :wink:

"drivel", "nonsense"? You state "Aldi only have 5% market share" because they sell lots of low quality products yet they win supermarket of the year. I assume Waitrose must sell even lower quality stuff if it has a smaller market share then. :stuck_out_tongue:

I try to get my research from slightly less biased sources than Greenpeace as they have a radical agenda and support vandalism (UNESCO heritage sites is a bit far) and junk science to justify their donation campaigns. I question whether pole and line is sustainable in terms of fuel consumption, live bait and being sufficient to supply demand without significantly increasing prices. I'm not saying we shouldn't buy unsustainable tuna of course, pole and line is a start and part of the solution but I'm just questioning whether or not Greenpeace is a reliable source of information.

Ignore this chap he's Jase99 posting under another name, renowned anti Aldi and Lidl drivel poster.

Thanks but .... I'll take Greenpeace's views over your views.

They are sailing the sea taking direct naval action, not surfing on their sofa contemplating their navel.

I see here that they're using their multi-million pound yachts gained from the large numbers of donations a year to take direct naval action. :stuck_out_tongue:

I would hope that after all that money and time spent on the sea, they'd have come up with a better solution than asking people to buy more expensive pole and line tuna and for retailers to only stock said products. At the same time they seem to be somewhat against aquaculture. Plus you'd think they'd at least try and work with the industry to an extent in order to find the best solutions like the WWF does.

Greenpeace is also against potentially life saving developments for poor countries like golden rice despite the scientific consensus supporting GMO crops. In my opinion they appear to be against evidence-based policy as shown by them playing a part in helping to scrap the post of the EU's Chief Scientific Adviser.

I, and I suspect most of the public, didn't think it was acceptable that damaged disturbed a sacred and world heritage site just to send a message.

I guess their views and cause can justify anything they do though.

I appreciate I'm just someone on a forum compared to a global NGO but I encourage skepticism of everything. :smiley:

You lost me there with that GIF hosted by "The “U.S.” (Thailand and Korea) canned tuna industry mouthpiece ". I doubt the veracity of anything you post.

It's thirty years since the French government bombed a Greenpeace ship in New Zealand, I guess there will always be dirty tricks by big business and government trying to stop publicly funded organisations from protesting and educating the world on the precarious situation of our ecology and environment. Nowadays, we probably see fewer government planted bombs and murder and more funding for websites like the one hosting your GIF.

Your scepticism seems to toe the line trotted out by big business and vested interests. You're hardly a free thinking sceptic, more a digester of propaganda and mouthpiece and apologist for the profit makers and establishment.

Smiley face? Not!

They don't seem to be having much affect in Spain with their bulging shelves of tuna groaning under the strain of thousands of cans in every supermarket you walk through. Perhaps they could stage a demo in Spain and find out how long they can stay out of jail to put up their point if they are so committed.

It was just a google search, I'm not a shill for the "U.S." tuna industry or part of the global conspiracy to supress activists. If I had made my own gif or linked direct to the youtube video, I don't think you could dismiss all my other points too just with a simple strawman.

It seems to me if anyone disagrees or questions Greenpeaces' views, they must be wrong or ignorant or simply working for the industry. Essentially calling someone a shill is enough to dismiss whatever point they make regardless of whether or not it has any validity.

The French government undeniably commited a horrific act of violence against a legal non-violent protest that had no justification. There was no apology and no justice whatsoever.

I remember when tuna used to be 45p a tin all the time. Used to buy about 50 tins each time, cupboard was full of them..

And never buy the ones with sunflower oil - the oil is badly processed - better get your EFA's elsewhere.

On my third can out of 12 I bought, today. Tastes good and packed with protein for 50p a serving.

Picked some up today
