Aldi Beans Vs Heinz Vs Others

    There was a Which magazine test recently in which Branston came out top. The Aldi beans also rated highly, but I think it said the recipe is about to be changed.

    Personally, I would go along with the results of their survey - Branston beans are fab, but Aldi also great and better value unless you can get the Branston offers.

    i like the new discout brand ones in tesco theyre only 29p a can which is cheaper than the tesco value and they taste much better :)

    Ive had these recently and they are fine - in the past any beans that don't taste right I add a squirt of tomato puree or a bit of brown sauce. Just stocked up on Branston Asda offer, have never tried them.

    A vote here for tesco's healthy eating low salt & sugar baked beans, a lot cheaper than the Heinz low sugar/salt equivalent and I think nicer.

    Aldis baked beans are probably the best baked beans in the universe. Any1 who recons heinz baked beans are better obv havent tried Aldis beans.

    No contest imho, I dont think heinz beans would make my top5 favourite beans list but Aldis are #1 for sure ...

    Branston beans - Heinz used to be good years ago but now they're grim, the cheapie value beans are better than Heinz in both taste and bean to juice ratio :D

    Didn't vote as I've never tried the aldi ones.

  • I prefer Branston too, there seems to be lots more beans in the tin than with any other brand I have tried. Currently they are on offer 4 for 1 pound at Lidl! If they are not on offer Sainsbury's Basics are pretty good too.

  • I can't eat the heinz ones, they taste like washing up liquid and are vile, I'll only really eat the Aldi ones which are fab.

    Had half a tin tonight on a jacket spud, yum!

    I beg to differ. Tried Branston, hate them. Went back to Heinz. Tried a Sainsbury's baked beans and sausages the other week as an alternative to Heinz. Absolutely vile!

    after rying asda/tesco value beans for a while then trying heinz i felt the latter was too sweet and more sauce than the value tins,
  • After many years of trial and error....Has to be Heinz beans and ketchup and my favourite brand of tea...other than that - I'm game to try cheaper alternatives. :)
