Just got back from the store. Thought I got a really good price on the two dozen cans of tuna I picked up. But then realized, The 6 oz. cans of tuna I bought two weeks ago are now 5 oz. cans of tuna. They don't even sell 6 oz. cans anymore wtf? Is there a tuna shortage?

Yes, they are making 5 ounce cans now and selling them for the same price as the 6 ounce. It was a very sneaky change.

exactly. when food prices went up - manufacturers either had to up the price of the current size or reduce the size and keep the price the same.

I noticed this change a couple of months ago. I dont eat tuna anymore anyways.

Im so glad I don't eat tuna anymore, I remember years ago I used to force cans down per day, and I even went so far as the tuna shake (look it up with search function) LOL...

If you get it on sale, around here its about a dollar a can, but I never noticed smaller servings...very interesting...

Ya it took forever to get a can down for me.

cans are not the same size. they are the same width, but not the same height.
