    I get the KTC brand from the Asian aisle in Asda, definitely under 40p a tin.

    They aren't available in all stores. On the ASDA website, they only have the chopped ones at 37p.

    I used to use them, but switched when they became more expensive than the ASDA SmartPrice ones.

    I get them in home bargins. Normally abt 30p a tin. I don't know the name but it is italian sounding.

    We have swapped to using pasatta for most sauces, it has a rich flavour and tesco own brand is fine. We use it in spag bol, minestroni soup, chilli. We still use chopped tom if we are havin a veggi meal as it bulks the texture out.

    We also used lidl tinned tom and pasatta and they are both good.

    I use Aldi passatta which is like 30p... much nicer than tinned toms and thicker than the juice you get in tinned tomatoes. Asda passatta is good too!

    Napolina are still the best - just wait for the special offers to come round, then buy a tray or two.
