What canned meats do you have in your 3-month rotation?

I'm afraid we don't have enough canned meat in our rotation.  We have one case of tuna, and I'm off to buy a case of canned chicken (from Costco) this weekend.  And that's sadly it...

DH hates tuna fish, so I'm the only one who eats it. (Well, he doesn't hate tuna fish, he just hates that I always mix in mayonnaise to make tuna salad, and he finds mayo completely unpalatable).  We add the chicken to our soups once in awhile, but we don't go through a lot of it.  Still I know this is nowhere near enough meat to have on hand.  (We do have a ton of beans that we eat on a daily basis, but other than beans our protein choices are pretty slim).

What canned meats do you have in your 3-month rotation?  I need ideas on how to include them in meals, too, as we've so rarely used canned meat.

Thanks!

I love the canned beef and have lots of it. Hormel is a little pricey but Smith's/Kroger brand is just as good and much cheaper. I find canned chicken a little dry but it's ok. I also have some canned salmon. I'm going to can my own chicken soon. My friend tells me it's really easy to do, as long as you use a pressure canner which I haven't purchased yet. Saving my money for one as they're not cheap.

This talk of Vienna Sausages made me think about Spam. I haven't had it in years! It's on sale at $2.89 a can this week....maybe I should get some. (Has anyone seen Spam prices cheaper? If so, I could wait for a better sale...). Thanks

I'm not sure what a good price for Spam is.  I never buy it. 

I have canned salmon too, I forgot about that one.
