  • I've been buying cartons of passata for around 29p instead for 500g as the prices of toms is rubbish, the only thing I have chopped toms in or plumb is on a fry up as I cook mainly in sc they tend to dissolve anyway.

    But since we are on the subject of tinned tomatoes, can anyone answer this question.

    Currently;

    ASDA Italian Peeled Plum Tomatoes in Tomato Juice (400g) costs 40p, that's 10p/100g

    ASDA Passata (500g) costs 38p, that's 7.6p/100g

    Why is passata cheaper than tomatoes?

    Cus tinned tomatoes are more popular - i think that answers the question to why anything is more expensive though to be fair...
  • approved food currently have 3 for £1 on plum toms or 4 for £1 on chopped. both 400g tins. think the variety is called pride have just ordered a batch so cant vouch for quality. hth

    What! 25p a can! Supermarkets selling tinned tomatoes at pocket money prices! It'll encourage binge Bolognese sauce eating. :)

    PS. I've just found my local Poundland. It's just down the road from my local ASDA. :grin:

    I bought these chopped tomatoes thinking they were on offer on Wednesday (they were under the £2 sale sign!) only to find that I had been charged £4.39 when i checked the receipt at home :( Shoppers beware!!
