What's the deal?
This is a fab chat forum spot and great fun! To celebrate 'Heinz means Beans' Heinz is launching a national baked bean amnesty! All you have to do is take any old can of beans to one of the specially set up 'beans bucketz' in shopping centres and you will be able to swap them for a can of Heinz beans.
Where can I get my Heinz Beans?
The following venues are available:
Tuesday 10th October 2006
Brent Cross Shopping Centre, London
Wednesday 11th October 2006
Arndale Shopping Centre, Manchester
Thursday 12th October 2006
Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Sheffield
Friday 13th October 2006
Eldon Square Shopping Centre, Newcastle
Saturday 14th October 2006
Touchwood Shopping Centre, Birmingham
The cheapest beans
Now of course the best thing to do is hunt down some cheap beans to exchange for the Heinz ones. Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's all sell their value beans for 17p per tin. While its tempting to stock up with 100 cans and get your beanz for life, i wouldn't go quite that far - its terms and conditions don't state a maxiumum number and thus it does have the right to refuse. Worth doing for some fun though.

Hi, i saw this advertised in the metro today....
"To celebrate this Heinz is launching a national baked bean amnesty. Consumers will be able to take their other beans to shopping centres nearby and swap them for the ‘Original & Best’- Heinz."

There is a link to the Heinz beans Amnesty on this site, and it tells you the places they will be going to and the dates that they will be there.
So i'll be taking some of my smart price beans along

"The Beanz Bucketz will be placed in several city centre locations around the UK including Shopping Centres in Newcastle, London, Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham. This nationwide campaign will see the public turning up in their thousands to exchange their other beans for a tin of Heinz Baked Beanz, as they are without a doubt Britain’s Original and Best loved beans."
Sounds to me as though they will swap your 20 tins of Netto`s best for 1 can of Heinz`sS!!!!horpe0 -
Yes! I can take my 2 out of date sainsburys cheapo beans and get quality ones.
Hurrah for Manchester and Heinz.It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.
Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.0 -
