Thoughts on best tasting supermarket baked beans

From memory, before CV, they made a big play, green-washing, about discontinuing the four packs wrapped in plastic but would still price four single tins bought at the same time as a four pack.

This was in their weekly free promotional paper

It was only a trial in selected stores.  Most of their stores have never stopped selling the plastic-wrapped multipack.

DH bought loose tins because, as another poster said, they did away with the plastic packaging a while back. Previously we've bought loose tins and it's gone through as 4 for £1.10 at the checkout as it said on the shelf... but not this time. 🤔☹️

I've bought a plastic wrapped 4 pack recently, that's why I was surprised when you first posted Maman. Seems daft that in one store you can buy 4 tins for less and in another you can't. If you were going in again I would definitely query with the CS.

Another vote for Sainsbury's beans here, Tescos are also pretty nice. Don't buy Morrisons though, the sauce is like water!

Husband won't eat any baked beans but Heinz. However, he's cut down to smaller tins now. I thought I'd buy him the no added sugar and salt ones, but instead of taking sugar out, they added chemical sweeteners.

There seems to have been a run on Branston Beans (presumably panic buying) whereas the other makes including Heinz have been left behind. Personally I too prefer Branston Beans. Wish they hadnt stopped Branston Brown sauce though.

Aldi's 4-pack @ 99p seems to have undergone a bit of a change recently.
From (IMHO) good beans in a thick sauce they've morphed into something more akin to bean soup!
Far too much runny liquid and not enough beans.
