The difference here is that I have had both ... first I watched

Kirkland allows only the solid loin in one piece goes into the can.
It's a major difference.

I read it but I'm not convinced.... the other major brands market
*select* tuna too, also in 7 oz cans... COSTCO is very likely Bumble
Bee/StarKist select. Most stores don't carry the select tuna because
placed along side the standard tuna the price difference would keep
folks from buying. In fact most folks buy the chunk tuna because
it's cheaper and for most folks it's fine for tuna salad, after all
it's all mashed up with lots of mayo, and all sorts of
herb/spices/condiments with celery, onions, etc... with all folks add
they all taste the same. To me the premium tuna is only worth the
extra price if it's eaten straight from the can with no additions and
no mashing, just lightly crumbled. Making the proverbial tuna salad
from premium tuna is no differnt from using Royal Crown for a whisky
sour. There is no COSTCO close to where I live now, the closest is on
Lung Guyland... if ever I get the opportunity I will buy some and give
it the test. When I feel like treating myself I'll buy tuna packed in
olive oil and dump it on a bed of lettuce and vine ripened tomatoes
with a squeeze of lemon and nothing else. Bumble Bee calls their
select grade Prime Fillet, only available at select markets:
http://www.bumblebee.com/products/tuna/
Nowadays most tuna brands come from the same canneries... all major
market chains carry their own brand of tuna, only thing different is
the label.

I don't need to. Fish don't have loins. In a similar
way chickens don't have fingers and caviar is from fish,
never vegetables! Why can't you people use the correct
terminology?

You may be correct about sourcing. However, when I go to the grocery
store and buy tuna, I have to shake the cans to pick out one with the
least amount of liquids inside. I don't want a can half liquid and
half flakes and mush. If I buy Kirkland it is totally solid. If I
buy Chicken of the Sea at Costco, I've never had a can with a lot of
liquid and bits and pieces. Typically there are maybe 3 pieces in a
can. That has been my experience -- your mileage may vary. I'm
content to buy my tuna at Costco.

It's like it used to be when you paid extra for a can of solid white
tuna, that's what you got, not a can of watery mush. i remember
having conversations about it with Wayne Boatwright. That's what
this tuna is like, solid white tuna.

We'd been buying Bumblebee tuna in the gold can, or the pouch.
They were still decent but not cheap.

Anyway, it's from recommendations here on rfc that I started buying
the Kirkland years ago. I really have no idea if supermarket
canned tuna has improved.

I don't remember it being that high, of course I could be wrong.
It's one of those things where if I need tuna, I pick up a package.
Don't really notice the price. I thought it started with a 13 or a
15.

The online prices don't seem to jibe with the warehouse prices, so
it will be interesting to see if Janet (?) remembers to check today.

Think about Amazon prices compared to prices you know at the local
grocery store or anywhere else for that matter. Everything I've
looked at has a HUGE profit built into the price - unless, of course,
it's a loss leader sale. I have no idea how that works, but I bought
big bar mats at a give away price recently (which were still a good
deal with shipping factored in).

Not at all. They have great eyesight and photographic memeories. They
don't run around sniffing like a dog. They can look into each room
from the doorway, then spot and run right to anything new. It doesn't
even need to be something new...just moving something to another place
will set them off. Of course, once they run to the "new thing" the
sniffers go into gear too. :-D

My mom sent me a small box of knitted hats and scarfs once. I opened
it then set it on the floor. Later, I let the two furry ones out.
Within 2 minutes, they spotted the new box on floor and here was the
result:

They actually played with this new box for over an hour, relaxing on
it, burrowing down inside, etc. heheheh

Strange to see ferrets as pets. When I was a child, some old men in the
village kept ferrets for hunting rabbits and the ironmonger sold special
wire leads and collars for them.

Ferrets as pets are illegal in California, as are gerbils and sugar gliders.

Other illegal pet animals include raccoons, chimpanzees, and African lions:
