    I prefer Branston myself and also love there spaghetti. Its a personnel choice but I just think it tastes so much better than Heinz and many other brands and supermarkets own. Aldi arent that bad though
  • We also only eat Branston beans now. We switched to Branston brown sauce when HP sauce chucked it's british workers on the dole and liked it so much we gave the beans a try (and the ketchup).

    Haven't tried Aldi as we don't have one here.
    Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness.

    Its Branston for us too, but I only buy when on offer and then stockpile, which usually lasts until the next offer!

    This is what we do and get 3-4 packs on 4 in each for around £1 to £1.25

    For anyone that doesn't have a Lidl near them for the Branston offer, Sainsburys have got Branston Beans on an offer at 3 for £1, not as good as Lidl but at 59p for a tin usually then 3 for £1 isn't too bad.

    I work at M&S and usually get their beans as they are 49p and are really nice (40p for me with staff discount) but for now I will be stocking up at Sainsburys.
  • Branston ones here too, nothing else comes close.

    Normally stock up on which ever is cheaper out of Heinz or Branston always waiting for the 4 tin packs for £1 offers.

    Branston is my favourite, Heinz has gone down hill over the last 5 years, the sauce has gone more watery and you don't get as many beans in the tin as you used to - I won't pay a premium for heinz water
