£13.40 for two tins of tuna???

I thought Sainsburys had made a mistake when about 7 things cost me 50 quid. But, no it's correct.
I can't stand the cheap stuff and it will form the basis of a meal....but really??

Ortiz is really posh and expensive, always has been. I wish I could afford it but the own branded one in olive oil is nearly as good.

I think to buy the most expensive version of something, say you 'cant stand the cheap stuff' and then complain about the price sounds a bit weird.

It's a really good quality tuna - you can't expect it to be as cheap as supermarket own brand, or even close to that price point. Are you new to food shopping?

It's a premium brand - perhaps worth the cost to some, but there are cheaper options available! Didn't you check the price beforehand?

One small can or do you mean mean a big can?

I must try it.

OP must have known the price if it's a regular buy.

cheaper in Waitrose..........

I buy Rio Mare in glass jars and it's similarly priced, but I stock up when it's on offer. It's noticeably more delicious than cheaper ones (although I use the cheaper ones to make tuna fritters and only use the expensive stuff when it's the star).

What sort of dressing would you have? Sounds lovely.

I always used to buy it in water as that's all I knew. Then I accidentally bought some in oil and I will never go back. It's soooooo much better!

Rio mare is really nice quality too (and often on offer somewhere!) but yeah I’m a tuna snob- will only eat nicer brands otherwise i physically can’t bring myself to eat it.
so it’s a special treat for me when I have it as I can’t afford to buy it regularly! lol

Of course it is, it's over 1.5 kilo of food between 3.

I can't describe it but it's noticeable. My DH noticed too when I substituted posh tuna instead of our usual. It's not just the fishing methods.

Isn't that the quite posh stuff. A little packet of anchovies are around the same.

Lovely but not to be scoffing in your lunchtime butties ( not in my office anyway!)

@Starlight1984 I disagree sounds like something we eat as a family. People don't bat an eyelid spending £6 on a big mac for one person.

It’s also line caught, so environmentally conscious.

That doesn’t stop me having the cheap stuff on a tuna bagel, though.

@Starlight1984 - parsley is a salad ingredient in the quantities I use! We eat a lot of Middle Eastern style salads. I buy it at the Asian supermarket because their bunches are the size of a bouquet.

@knowifIcando I usually do a vinaigrette with olive oil, white wine vinegar (or lemon juice) and some Dijon mustard for a bit of bite.

"Oh no, my endangered species is too expensive"

Maybe the panda burgers are cheaper?!

Seriously good advertising here well done 👏🏾

Different product for different meals. Although I really love tuna steaks too.

I developed an allergy to tuna quite a few years ago and was really missing tuna mayo.

Then last year I had the genius idea of trying tinned salmon with mayo and it's a brilliant replacement.

At the same time as developing an allergy to tuna, I also developed an allergy to bacon. I'm still in mourning for that.

The tuna and butter bean salad sounds delicious. Might have to try that one day.

Haha! Actually it was Rachel Roddy’s recipe in The Guardian.

You “can’t stand” the cheaper stuff. Really? 🤔

@CeaselesslyIntoThePast i don’t really like any seafood and thought I didn’t like tuna too because I was used to the cheap watery fishy stuff 🤷‍♀️
