There's canned chicken, sardines, salmon. Nothing will be cheaper canned than buying it fresh in bulk if available, though.

The only other canned protein I get is canned chicken breast. It's about $2 for 11-12 ounces. About 3 times the price of tuna.

Isn't the mercury content of tuna completely over exaggerated though

THey use small tuna for canned tuna.
You will not get mercury problems.
I have had 3 cans per day for years, got tested and am 5 times below the level of concern, and I only weigh 69kg

load up on chunk light if you got some tight budget problems, but you might get sick of it very fast

not canned but packets...
at a few krogers i've seen packets of shrimps, crab, oysters, and other crustaceans-- they're kinda expensive, though...
i think there are only certain (see the post above re. white albacore) tunas that are causing the whole mercury scare. you could probably look on the audobon society's website and find out which ones they are, and then just don't buy those types...
if you're having a meal with carbs, maybe you could try canned black beans and packaged brown rice (trader joes makes pre-cooked brown rice packs that are pretty cheap). black beans are pretty high in protein, and when combined with brown rice i hear they make a "complete" protein, so that could be a cheap and portable source.http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=109800291
