Baked beans
I'm been a buyer of Heinz baked beans for yonks always prefering them to others I'd tried. However I think over the last little while the quality has got poor, mushy beans and less beans and tons of juice. Anyone else find the same or just me? Also anyone recommend a better baked bean buy for taste and price? Thanks

Gluten free cereals
Hi all, Can anyone tell me if there are any supermarket own brands that are approved by Coeliac UK. I have been eating Whole Earth organic corn flakes but they are very bland. I used to love honey nut corn flakes, but Kellogg's, sadly, are no longer gluten free. Thanks
