Best deal on tinned toms?

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/Tinned_Tomatoes_Puree_And_Passata/Napolina_Chopped_Tomatoes_390g.html

Need to stock up on tinned toms

Is this the best deal going?

I like to get the "good" ones, at a cheap price:money:

    I agree, find the Tesco Value tinned toms a bit watery and less ripe. I tried the Tratoria Verdi brand from Tesco and was quite impressed, nice red tomatoes and thick juice, made a lovely spag bol.

    Usually stock up on Napolina when they're BOGOF tho so half price is a good deal.

    i buy the basic sainsburys ones and theyre great. i use them to make pasta sauces and such.

    i do find in general tho that the sainsburys basic range is better than most of asda and tescos standard range! oo er

    Agreed that the Tesco Value ones are a bit watery.. but their 'discounter' brand ones aren't bad.

    Asda-wise, the Smartprice ones aren't good, but the 'standard' brand ones with chopped garlic are 44p a can and very nice. (Plain ones and herby ones are more expensive, for some reason..)

    Lidl do tinned toms for 32p.
    different types with added/ herbs/garlic etc. They cook well and don't break down into a wattery mess.

    The nicest ones i have found are from farmfoods. At 39p a large tin they aren't mega cheap but very red and juicy. Just made a lovely chilli tomato sauce to go with the veggie grassingtons meatballs i got there 2 for £1 bargain

    Another vote for Sainsbugs basics here - peeled or chopped, both excellent quality. 36p and no need to wait for special offers/BOGOFs on the brand names, either.

    My father has always been a bit of a brand snob (his mantra has always been 'you get what you pay for'). For the last 20 years or so he's always been a Napolina stalwart - until I got him some Sainsbugs basics. Now he sees no reason to spend more than 36p. One of the few things we actually agree on, lol.
