The Great Tuna Settlement
Hey there, savvy mamas! Your favorite NYC mom-in-the-know here with some seriously juicy news that could put some extra cash in your wallet. And who doesn't love that? 👜✨
Remember all those tuna sandwiches you packed for school lunches back in 2011-2015? Or those quick tuna melts you whipped up after soccer practice? Well, guess what - those cans of tuna might actually owe you money! 🤑
The Tea on the Tuna Drama 🫖
So here's the scoop: StarKist and some other big tuna companies allegedly got caught playing price-fixing games with our grocery bills (not cool, guys 😒). They're now settling a massive class action lawsuit for $152.2 million!
Your girl has been diving deep into the legal docs so you don't have to, and here's what you need to know:
Are You Eligible? 📋
You might be in the money if:
You bought canned or pouched tuna (under 40 ounces) between June 2011 and July 2015
You live in one of these states: AZ, AR, CA, DC, FL, Guam, HI, IA, KS, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, NE, NV, NH, NM, NY, NC, ND, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, UT, VT, VA, WV, or WI
You bought it for your family (not for resale)
How to Get Your Cash 💸
Visit the settlement website
File your claim by December 31, 2024 (mark those calendars! 📱)
Sit back and wait for your check!
Pro Tip: If you already filed a claim in something called the "COSI Settlement," you're good to go - no need to file again! #WorkSmartNotHard
Why This Matters to Us Moms 👩👧👦
Listen, as someone who's constantly trying to balance healthy meals, busy schedules, and budget-conscious shopping, this settlement is more than just free money. It's about holding companies accountable when they don't play fair with our family budgets.
Plus, let's be real - every little bit helps when you're raising kids in this economy! This could be your coffee fund for a month (or that cute bag you've been eyeing at Nordstrom 👜).
What You Might Get
While they haven't announced exact payment amounts (it depends on how many people file claims), similar settlements have resulted in anywhere from $25 to $50 per household. Not exactly retirement money, but hey - that's a nice dinner out or a couple of Target runs! 🎯
The Bottom Line 💁♀️
Check your eligibility
File before December 31, 2024
