Question

Why have they doubled in price recently? Not long ago they were around twenty something pence a can, but now they are over forty pence in most places. Anyone know why??

UB,

found this on google - you can sleep easy mate:

Useful tip. Actually the only difference between Heinz beans and those of any other manufacturer, including the very cheapest tins, is the tomato sauce. That's why your recommendation to add a little cornflour and BBQ sauce makes perfect sense.

Another cheap buy are tins of plum tomatoes. They are delicious yet only cost 9p a tin at Aldi, 15p for chopped tomatoes.

You couldn't buy the same quantity of tomatoes for this price; just heat them up and combine with some of Tesco's Value Bacon at 89p for a quick, delicious meal. The Value Bacon, by the way, is a pack consisting basically of off-cuts; if you pick carefully you will find some really big, tasty bacon steaks in many of the packs.

It's one of the few Tesco Value lines that are real value; all too many are very ordinary products over-flavoured to hide the basic taste.
ETS- sounds tasty, doesn't it?

My recipie for ultimate baked beans is as follows.......

Heat a 9p can of Tesco baked beans in a pan - lots of heat to reduce it by a quarter, add grated fresh parmesan ,a **** of butter and black pepper to taste.
Sorted.......
