PriceLoved the product. I make a lot of tuna dishes and this product tastes good and is a great price
StarKist Wild Caught Chunk Light Canned Tuna Ready to Eat –
I wouldn’t say I’m a huge tuna guy or eat it often, but it’s a good mix-in when lunch meat starts to feel tired. These 5 oz cans are practical: 20g of protein, 90 calories, and a mild flavor that works in salads, sandwiches, or straight with crackers. The pull-tab lids open cleanly, and the 8-pack stacks neatly in my fridge organizer—a small detail I really appreciate.
And yet, every time I see a can of this stuff, I can’t help but flash back to Jessica Simpson having her mind blown over whether it was chicken or tuna.

StarKist Wild Caught Chunk Light Canned Tuna Ready to Eat –
This tuna is just as good as what you'd bu the grocery store, but the big advantage is the price. It's cheaper than buying it in-store, which makes it a really practical option if you eat tuna regularly or like to stock up. The flavor and texture are the same as the name brands you'd normally grab off the shelf, so there's no sacrifice in quality. Overall, it's a great value and definitely worth it if you want the same quality tuna for less money

Watkins Pure Vanilla Bean Paste With Seeds Review –
I’ve tried other almond extract brands before, but the flavor was never as clear or rich as Watkins. This one has a strong, natural almond taste that really stands out in baked goods without being overpowering or fake. Just a small amount adds the perfect touch, and it blends beautifully into everything from cookies to pancakes.
The ingredients are simple and clean, and I love that it doesn’t have that artificial aftertaste some others do. Honestly, the price isn’t much higher than comparable brands, but the quality is noticeably better—totally worth it.
It’s Watkins only for me from now on!

I use this Wilton clear vanilla primarily for decorating sugar cookies. Keeping icing bright and white is important. Traditional vanilla extract tends to tint royal icing a beige or off-white color, but this clear version keeps everything looking crisp and clean.
Flavor-wise, it's definitely an imitation vanilla, so it doesn’t have the depth or warmth of pure vanilla extract. That said, it still adds a sweet, pleasant vanilla scent and taste—especially once mixed into icing or baked goods. It’s ideal when color matters more than complexity of flavor.
Another plus is that the bottle has a narrow spout which helps control the pour and avoid waste. A little goes a long way. I've had no issues with separation or off smells, and the shelf life is awesome.
Overall, this is a must-have in my bsking toolkit. I wouldn’t use it for high-end baking where vanilla is a star ingredient, but for cookies, frosting, and cakes that need to stay visually bright—this is my go to every time.
Pros:
– Keeps icings bright white
– Sweet, clean vanilla flavor
– Easy to pour and great shelf life
Cons:
– Not as deep a flavor as real vanilla
– Slight artificial aftertaste if too heavy handed

The G.O.A.T. of Almond Extract!I started buying Watkins vanilla a few years ago. I normally would purchase McCormick, and that is still a great product, but the price was crazy high. Watkins is a much more reasonable price – approximately $1 per ounce – and I think the flavor is excellent. It is real vanilla (as was the McCormick I previously used) and the flavor is great. Definitely worth the money if you want a quality vanilla to use in your baking.

Great Cinnamon Flavor :)I learned about Watkins through a social media creator I follow on Instagram. She raved about their pumpkin spice extract, so I decided to order it, and I wasn't disappointed. Watkins extracts are bold and flavorful. I also purchased the vanilla flavor. I add these delicious flavors to my coffee in the morning, which really elevates my coffee! Watkins extracts are versatile and can be used in baking, syrups, frosting, and more. They have a variety of flavors to try, and they are definitely worth the price.

Good productMy go to vanilla extract !! I like all Watkins baking extracts! Good flavor. If I want vanilla butter nut flavor, I just use an empty bottle and mix this vanilla extract, butter extract and almond extract together. And there you have it vanilla butter nut flavor. Or just omit the butter flavor and just mix vanilla & almond for a vanilla nut flavor! Happy Baking!!

Excellent. Will Continue to PurchaseVanilla raises serotonin. And, having a pure source is amazing. Little pricey but it is pure and not artificial. I use it in my coffee, for all typical uses, and as a little mood boost. A little goes a long way!
Did you know this about this vanilla –
Tastes GreatThe first thing I love about this vanilla is the price. The second thing is it’s clear. Usually when you find a cheaper vanilla, the taste is just not really there. I bought this large bottle and subscribed to receive one every six months because I bake a lot and I use a lot of vanilla. This vanilla actually taste better than the McCormick clear vanilla that I bought the last time I was at the store because this brand was not available. The McCormick was more expensive per ounce, and although it was clear this vanilla out performs it. I bought this once a long time ago in Walmart because they were out of every other clear vanilla except for the $25 ones. I use way too much of it overtime to buy the expensive stuff. I figured I was in a tight spot so I grabbed this and did not expect a lot from it because it was cheaper than the cheaper brands. To my sweet surprise, I loved it much better than any other vanilla that I had bought in the past few years. Also, this brand does not seem widely available in all the stores that I’ve shopped at. I’ve only ever seen it at Walmart and I don’t shop at Walmart all the time. For a cheap vanilla, this one is the one to buy!
