6 ozs (170 grams)

Well I know for a fact that that exact brand of Tuna was $0.50 in 2008 ( used to eat tuna and crackers for breakfast several times a week back then) and is now $0.95 at the same store I bought it from back then.

If we calculate 6 oz/0.50 vs 5 0z/0.95, I believe we will discover that the increase in cost is 2.28 times, meaning over 100%.

Also this web page confirms the price at over $1.00 per can. (You have to attempt to buy it. They sell a 24 pack for $26.74.)

I buy Lesueur peas. About 5 years ago, they were about $1.05 a can, frequently going on sale for $.80 (or so). Now they are $1.85 or so, about an 80% increase. The size has remained the same so at least no hidden shrinkage/price increase.
