Still got 10in snow round my way, and cars being abandoned/dug out all over the place. If the council won't do anything about it, I will.

Here we go again

This wasn't on offer when i did my shop 3 days ago, either that or the shelves were bare and i missed it

Had to shell out £3 something for a 6 pack of Heinz, which isn't too bad i guess.

Just started today, "runs" til the 19th - oo-er




It's 15p cheaper per single tin of Heinz - and for an extra 5g more. But I did note at teatime that mini-me was none too chuffed at having his regular Heinz replaced.

I'll never tire of this thread.

See, they'll be giving them away next cos they know they just don't compare to Heinz.

The only way to shift them is to appeal to your inner pike. Just go to Lidl and be done with it

The taste difference is in no way reflective of the price difference; unlike, say, mutton & lamb.

Get back to your pen

These are suprisingly tasty. Kids love them. I wouldn't have the 'blue stripe' version though, they are awful!

Messed up post

Pleased to be able to report Branston Beans 4 X 410G @ £1.57 are on BOGOF , so 78.5p a pack or less than 20p a tin.

Quite incredible.

Branston are very good, as are Sainsbury's basics, and HP.

Heinz are certainly not what they were.

I was pondering something similar in the supermarket the other day, and how some things are not all the same:

Brown Sauce has to be HP,
Piccallili has to be Heinz
Salad Cream has to be Heinz
Tomato Ketchup don't really eat it so anything will do
Mayonnaise Hellmans

Legend.

Thanks for alerting us, Knulpuk - I've been peeved at the lack of decent promotions on Branston for a while now.

For any FISOers new to this thread, enjoy it in full, then go out, buy Branstons and then trump away at your leisure.

Definitely agree with you mate, heinz Baked beans are far too watery these days.

And it has to be Heinz Tomato Ketchup
and DEFINITELY Hellmans Mayo.

Yet all supermarket own brands are made in the same factories at the brand labels.
It is all in your head that they taste different from the brand names.

Not true: Heinz are waterier than even Sainsbury's basic and obvious Branston. (Branston's could be straight half price in Sainsbury's v soon.)

4 tins of Branston's £1 at Asda - take that Heinz

Unbelievable John.

Not as good as "Double the Difference"

Partially true, if a bit misleading.

Premier Foods make supermarket and budget brands alongside their Branston Beans. Different lines and different recipes though.

There's no real reason why a branded can should be better than a private label can, esp now that the gap in the concentration of the ingredients has narrowed. They do taste different - whether they're better or worse is just personal taste.
