Where to get the cheapest tinned chopped tomatoes?

Hey peeps!

Does anyone know which shop does the cheapest tinned tomatoes? I was in Morrisons yesterday and they were 21p. Should I be shopping anywhere else?

Thanks in advance...

    I buy plum tomatoes, empty the juice into whatever dish I'm making and chop the tomatoes up on a plate. It doesn't take long and you get a lot more juice.

    The fact that you get a lot more juice is why I prefer chopped tomatoes - I can't add bulk without opening two tins, but I can add water!

    As for prices, that sounds about as cheap as I get for tomatoes anywhere

    I usually buy un-chopped toms.
    Open the tin and drain off a little of the juice then use a long sharp knife and chop them while they're still in the tin (against the side of the tin IUKWIM), quick and easy!

    Don't pay extra for chopped and plum tomatoes are lovely with a cooked breakfast and the juice is much nicer that that of chopped IMHO.
