Not during the holidays, but between Christmas and Easter there were several times 5 oz. cans of tuna have gone on sale for 3 for $1 with a store coupon, with a limit of 9 cans each time. I was able to pick up about 45 cans at that price over a couple of months here in Oregon.

I would note that only one store in our area had it on sale at a good price during that time period. Most others wanted at least 50 cents per can even on sale and the majority have had it “on sale” at $1 per can for the cheap tuna.

That “sale price” has always just been for albacore tuna in the past. The size of the cans has also gone down from 7 oz. cans to 5 oz. cans.

I personally don’t consider it to be a real sale price on the cheap stuff unless it is under 50 cents per can and under $1 for the albacore.

I ordered saffron from amazon, 3 grams for $20.77 free shipping. Got it Saturday. So, I now have all the necessary ingredients for the Arroz con Pollo. :) We had chicken coming out our ears this past week though so I probably won’t make it until next week or so.

You’re going to laugh, but I also had ordered cayenne pepper from there. I now have 2 lbs! LOL It was less than what Penzey’s was selling their lb for. I looked at the bottle in the kitchen (from the local grocery store) and it was $3.79 for 1.75 ounces.

I ended up paying .39 an ounce. I’m going to give some to my next door neighbors.
