This tomatillo has the husk still on. You can see a smooth green patch where the husk is missing.

I don’t see any husk

They are always in the husk when I’ve seen/bought them — usually $.99 – $1.49/lb.

Those are going to be a lot more expensive because of the packaging. Even buying from Instacart with their markup ends up quite a bit cheaper.
So if you can find where you can pick and choose, you’ll save.

That image is pre-husked. I’ve always bought them loose with the husk on.

You can tell by eyeing a tomatillo whether it has a husk or does not have a husk. The husk is the papery shell on the outside. If it’s missing, then it’s been husked. Supermarkets can have either variety.

What kind of question is that. You’ll have to go find out.
The ones in that photo are pre husked
Do they have a papery husk on them?
I can tell you that canned tomatillos are definitely dehusked.
Not usually
I’ve always bought them loose with husks still on
