    We like Branston best (especially when they're on offer)
  • Ive tried them all but always go back to morrisons own brand ,just the right amount of sugar /salt and juice ,not too hard or too mushy ,and 3 for the price of 2 at the mo.

    We have had a problem with Heinz recently - all sauce and very few beans. I'll be trying Branstons on the next shop so thanks for the tip - don't eat them myself but one of the few foods that the OH's daughter wolfs down so need a solution.

    I normally stock up on Heinz when on special, but Tescos own (not value) are lovely and so are Waitrose ones.

    I'm quite content with Heinz but HI only likes Waitrose OB and as they're a lot cheaper I go along with that happily!

    Another vote for Branstons beans. I used to buy Heinz, and wouldn't have thought there would be much difference between brands when it comes to a basic thing like beans, but the Branston beans have a thicker sauce and a nice tang to them. Only other brand I have tried was Asda's own, but that was years ago!
  • netto do a version of low salt low sugar beans and i quite like them but prefer branston on the whole

    I love aldi baked beans, and the others here prefer lidls. We never buy heinz or others as they tend to beeither too expensive, too sweet or too watery.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try the Branston ones and will also buy a tin of each supermarkets' own brand to see if I like them. Heinz beans are definitely too salty for me.
