Slightly sweet and redder (extra sugar and paprika)

Don’t think I could tell the difference if served as beans on toast at different meals.

In fairness to Asda, their smart price beans are 6x pence per kilo, however last time I bought any I found them watery in comparison with the above..

On the face of it more “food” in the tin and so best value of the three.

I see Aldi are selling "Corale" baked beans at 0.69 GBP per Kilo.
I wonder what they taste like?

Any idea if Lidl sells a reduced salt & sugar versions of tinned goods, baked beans in particular? It's the only store around here as Aldi, Costco etc are all 70+miles from us Thankfully Sainsbugs value fruit is now in juice so things are looking up but it is so annoying when do-gooders say things about putting tax on high sugar/fat foods when they should really be concentrating on making the healthier alternatives cheaper :mad:

Sugar & Salt

3.9% & 0.7% Tesco
5.9% & 0.8% Branson
1.5% & 1.0% Lidl "Campolargo"

Tesco gives the percentage of daily guideline per serving:
9% & 23% So it looks like you do have a valid point on the salt front.

interesting !! .. post 689 i commented on the new Aldi 125gm dark chocolate mint variety ( and a chilli variety) at 99p being superb quality & great value at 99p

The pack is actually 5 x 25gm individually wrapped bars . .....

Today .. went to Netto as they were advertising a one off buy on Bendicks 72% dark choc (plain .. not flavours ) 125gm ..... at £1 a bar .

Identical 5 x125gm packaging to the Aldi one ... definitely out of the same factory .. same coding etc .

Bendicks obviously real quality producer .

Superb quality + great price.

Hi From Lidl i go in especially for the milk,bacon,pasta,mince,jumbo fries,wedges apple & orange juice these are the cheapest for these items near me.
I don't like the bags of Granny Smiths apples after a couple of days the apples always develop bruises! i have kept trying them thinking it may be the odd bad bag but it keeps happening (not good with a fussy 4yr old who checks each apple for bruises before he eats them them will just give up!) nearly always end up having to make a apple crumble instead out of them(which makes hubby happy) but not son who wants them to eat!.Won't buy them anymore.
