cheapest small tin of beans/spaghetti?

Options
I need atleast 12 small baked bean tins - you know the small half sized tins!

I need the tins so I can make mini christmas cakes (the professional cake tin for this is £30!)

Does anyone know what the cheapest thing is in these tins because I want to spend as little as possible! :o

    Does it have to be tins? You can get paper cases that have straight sides instead of the usual sloping cake cases, (you might need a proper cook shop for them though). Once you've iced them, you wouldn't know they've been in cases.
    I once made a triangular cake with thick cardboard greased on a baking tray. It could only be used once, but that was all I needed.
    If you try some pound type food shops they sometimes sell small tins of beans/spag for around 6 for £1

    Hi leni,

    The cheapest small can I've seen is Tesco Healthy Living baked beans, 200g for 24p.

    Is www.madaboutbargains.co.uk the one you're thinking of?
