bruno22rf Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Not Heinz anymore - never again, I have wasted my money on their garbage for the last time - as a kid I remember the brand being "the best" and can well remember the flavours of things like Tomato and their Chicken soup, but someone, somewhere has decided to fill their cans with Dishwater with a flavour that the label only hints at - their beans are also no longer any better than Asda own brand (just 3 times the price) so what has gone wrong? Does anybody make soup that actually tastes of anything? One that, if you were blindfolded, you would recognise the flavour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cant go wrong with Heinz tomato soup, as for beans we buy what's on offer, no point paying double the price for a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but Sainsbury's own Tomato Soup is far nicer and a better price at 50p per tin, a winter favourite here. I have not bothered with Heinz over-priced food for years!

bruno22rf Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Their Tomato soup, i'm sorry, but is the worst culprit - tastes like watered down ketchup with a hint of vinegar. Try the newish Polish Ketchup that some supermarkets are stocking or even Aldi or Lidl's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Branston Beans 😊 1 tin of beans, 4 rounds of buttered toast, cut in 1/2 and placed criss cross on a warmed plate, pour beans over toast followed by a generous splashing of HP brown sauce. MMMMMmmmmm propper food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll certainly try it but 6 tins for £2 at b&m hard to beat. 3 minutes ago, bruno22rf said: Their Tomato soup, i'm sorry, but is the worst culprit - tastes like watered down ketchup with a hint of vinegar.

Farmboy91 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 I've never been a brand snob, when I met the missus 5 years ago she got a big education on shopping on the cheap 😂 She's a convert now, we don't buy anything branded at all. Aldi coke to me is far better than the actual stuff, I can't remember the last time I had a tin of cheap beans that were bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peck Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Even though the big brands charge lots more than the own brands they still try to cheapen the recipe, they are making a fortune for their investors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 I always buy Heinz,but recently picked up their sugar free/reduced sugar and they where terrible.Asdas own and M&S own are ok but Aldi or lidl (anything Aldi/lidl I simply cant do).Gave it a go when everyone kept saying it's the same,just a different label.Well nothing tastes anything like what we buy.As for saving money lol, we ended up spending more after doing a proper shop.
