My favourite hasn't been mentioned . Newgate baked beans are Lidl own brand  . Less than £1-50 for a pack of 4 tins . They taste good . I am not too worried about salt or sugar content . A slice of toast is converted into sugar by the body anyhow !

Toasting bread lowers the carb content.

Toasting bread from frozen creates resistant starch which helps helps boost gut health and reduce insulin sensitivity

(OT - the food costs are now as worrying - Tesco online we shop for most of groceries and tin of Heinz beans close to 180p)

1 tin £1.20 or pack of 4 for £3.99

LIDL NI 6 pack of HEINZ 3.99

The 'NI' part of Lidl NI means Northern Ireland. There's often different deals to Lidl GB. Useful for a few of us, but wanted to highlight it so people aren't disappointed if the offer isn't on in their store.

Correction to my previous - I was wrong about M&S beans being 85p.  They're 50p!!  Seems like M&S have realised that the food shop has got very competitive.

Surely you are just better off avoiding unnecessary carbs in the first place?

I lost 5 stone last year by following a strict low carb diet.  I used to like a quick breakfast  of beans on toast with grated cheese, yum.  I’ve given that up now

Or just keeping pace with the competition, whoever that is. Aldi stopped selling their Corale beans in 4 packs last year, at least around here.

 To think 10 months ago they were only 99p! I'm just glad I stocked up while they were cheap.

I like Lidls Newgate beans. I do love the Branston beans best though, but they are too expensive and I just add a dash of Worcestershire to the Lidls 

Sod the carbs, its a cheap protein ( comparatively ) and even Mr L will eat a jacket potato with beans and cheese for his evening meal if we have had a lunch bigger then the normal sandwich

I do two Zumba classes a week and have a few meals I eat post exercise.
Jacket potato with baked beans and cheese is one of them.
Inspired by this thread, after almost forcing down a small tin of Heinz I tried half a large tin from Tesco, wow they are so much better and I actually enjoy them. 

My other Heinz will be going to the foodbank and I'll be trying Lidl next.

As a teenager, I went veggie and my mother would serve me curried Heinz baked beans, frequently. I don't eat them now, but husband is keen on them.  I bought him the reduced sugar and salt ones, but full of sweeteners and I got told not to buy them anymore. If he really wants beanz, he gets the half tin triple packs when on offer at Iceland.
