Heinz Baked Beans...

Just to satisfy my curiosity -how much does a large tin of Heinz Baked Beans cost in the UK? Made myself a treat for lunch yesterday - Bacon (Tulip Streaky is the only kind you can get here) and eggs with fried bread and beans. The beans cost 1-98Euros here in Italy...

Thanks -perhaps i should think of importing them, someone is making a lot of money on them over here!

For some reason Heinz now brand them as Heinz Beans, rather than Heinz Baked Beans.

Probably cos of that advert song "Beans Means Heinz"?

They probably aren't 'baked' and never were, so they probably have been told to remove 'baked' from the label.

One of the things I found odd when I moved to the US was that Heinz Baked beans and Heinz Tomato soup were not available in American shops , seems both products are only made for the UK market.

I haven't had heinz beans for a long time....then not long ago I had a small tin........they were not as good as I remembered them to be. I prefer Aldi Beans......they have a tastier sauce....much more flavourful.

They are something like 29 pence per tin cashy....so a big chink of money saved if you like beans.

There was something in todays paper about supermarkets and some snobby woman was saying who had ever heard of Solevita fruit juice......or Corale beans.........I'm tempted to write and ask her what she does with the cartons and tins...does she eat them too. Often the products in these less well known brands are eqaully as good as the branded stuff....after all orange juice is orange juice...beans are beans.......what is in a name on a label(apart form a chunk of cash from our purse).

You can try these lesser branded products and if you like them well, you have saved...if you don't like them, then you don't buy them again.
Some of us can't be so sniffy about where we buy our beans and juice.
