Tuna - Best places to buy? was created by acidkidsa

Howzit,

I am sure like many of you I love my tuna.

I buy my Tuna in bulk from Makro. They use sell it for around 5 -6 bucks a can..

It had now gone up to R8.00 and more.

Where does everyone buy their Tuna from .

Anyone know the cheapest places to buy??

Funny enough , Trade Centre was more expensive.
They dont have such alot of different Tuna brands compared to Makro...

I must go check the Hyperama down the from Trade Centre . But last time their
prices were not good..

In Bloem, but the company I get it from is pretty much all over the country. The smallest they sell however is 20kg boxes ('bout R400 odd). Mate of mine works there, will get his office nr and post it. Where you?

There are a couple chicken farms that sell to the public around Mulderdrift area...

I wonder how much they charge...

But I can guess you have to buy a certain amount before they sell to you...

Not actually, they all have shops at the factory and early bird is one of them, look them up and you can buy direct if your prepared to stand in lines

@ Netro: can you give us a head up as to where / which earlybird farm has a factory shop?
Is it all the farms or only the processing & packing plants like in Olifantsfontein?
