Chicken of the Sea Wild Caught Chunk Light Tuna 48-Pack Deal

A 48-can bulk buy of a pantry workhorse drops to under 50 cents a can with Subscribe & Save — here's whether it's worth stocking up.

Under 50 cents a can for a brand you actually recognize

At $23.55 for 48 five-ounce cans, you're landing at roughly $0.49 per can — that's competitive even against store-brand tuna at many grocery chains, and this is a name-brand, wild-caught product. Chunk light tuna is skipjack, which actually carries lower mercury levels than albacore, making it a reasonable regular rotation for people eating tuna a few times a week. It's a solid protein source for quick lunches, pasta dishes, or anything where canned fish just quietly does its job.

The Subscribe & Save part is the real fine print

That price only hits with Subscribe & Save, which locks you into at least one recurring delivery. You can cancel after the first shipment, but it takes a deliberate step — easy to forget. You're also committing to storing 48 cans, which is real shelf space. If you've got a pantry that can handle it and you eat tuna regularly, this is a straightforward win. If you're impulse-buying because the price looks good, make sure you'll actually work through the haul before it sits and expires.
