Baked Beans in Tomato sauce

Bought Tesco value brand 420g tin for 26p and I am so shocked as I have been paying 70p for Heinz and they really taste so similar.

When my dad worked in a well known bakers they used to make bread for all the large supermarkets including m and s. All they did was changed the wrappers over and continue making bread. Same bread different wrapper. People who buy certain m and s food thinking it is good are paying over the odds as it will be cheaper in places like tesco for the same product.

You may be correct about bread but Branston beans definitely taste better than any others I've tried.

I have bought Branston when on offer and then tried the Corale Aldi ones (when the Branston offer finished).

I have stayed with the Aldi beans as they are quite nice and are £1.29 for a pack of 4.

Ok, not as cheap as Branston when on offer but most people have a local Aldi, not all have easy access to an Asda.

I know someone who actually creates recipes for bread, mostly gluten free bread. One of his clients was m&s and they were specific about having their own recipe and that it wouldn't be copied.

Can't say if that's true about their normal bread though, and I'm sure it used to be as you're dad said, and probably still is in a lot of cases.

I agree, bought some Heinz beans recently when on offer and they tasted cheap and nasty!

I agree about the Branston baked beans, I bought a pack of four on offer from BM.s this week. Lovely!

I never like Heinz Beanz - got a nasty taste to them and the sauce isn't right.

another corale fan here glad they now sell them in multi packs save the single tins bashing about in a bag on way home, my " local " aldi is 30 miles each way so i do have to stock up when i frequent:D
