Quite right. It's about time supermarkets stopped dictating prices to suppliers.

Not gonna defend supermarkets, but I'm not taking the Heinz side in this one. Mother is currently trying to wean father off said company's 57 varieties as a standard tin currently goes for around £1.20, versus 35p for a supermarket equivalent.

Quite right. I always go own brand - there’s no way Heinz is like more than 3 times better for the price. It’s marginal at best and I usually drain most the excessive sauce they put in there anyway because it’s OTT.

Why is the thread title "Heinz beans drops Tescos" rather than "Tescos drops Heinz beans"?

The store brand beans are just as good or better at half the price

This is precisely why Heinz baked beans should be decriminalised.

I haven't bought Heinz products for years since I was told they are pals with the Israeli state.

Bachelors or Branstons much nicer

Branston for me, but then I'm not a massive eater of beans anyway

Far too much effort for what would be barely be a table spoon full of beans at a time

This is practically a puff piece for tesco, portraying them as some plucky underdog striving to keep costs low for the consumer.

They're the third largest retailer in the world and their profits doubled last year - perhaps they could dig into that to maintain their "laser focus' on costs to the consumer instead of squeezing producers, most of whom won't have the leverage to be able to pull their products.

Not sure why anyone would as Kraft is price gouging with some products increasing by 30%:

Report: Kraft Heinz to Hike Some Prices as High as 30%

Most increases will be much smaller, but will apply to dozens of the food giant's products.

Let's just agree that they're all trying to screw us over.

Well, I find that really depends. That stuff isn't cheaper just because of the whims of the manufacturers. There isn't a total disconnect between price and value. The branded stuff is almost always over priced, but at least the quality is reliably acceptable. But in my experience the bottom-of-the-barrel super-cheap stuff has distressing tendency to have overly-watery sauce and be relatively lacking in beans.

I've spent far too fucking much of my life eating cheap crap, and I've become pretty fed up with it. Thankfully my employment situation in recent years has meant I'm no longer forced to economise much.

sadly this isn't true, i sat here a while back and read a thing that was about beans in particular, like what weight of beans you actually get in the tin relative to watery sauce, what the ingredients of the sauce are, check and you'll see they're actually not the same thing with different labels on the tins, though sometimes they are obvs.

Heinz beans are really watery though. I go out of my way to avoid them and find Branston on offer but I'm going to try some own brand ones again to see if they've improved.

I don't know about Heinz beans, since I don't buy them (too pricy). Branston strike a good balance in my experience.

Own-brand tins of sausages and beans seem to have gotten better recently, at least from Tesco. There appears to be something about the addition of mini sausages which makes them less likely to be a thin, miserable gruel.

Israel banned Hainz products for a while.

Bring out the Branston.

FALSE: Israel Just Banned Heinz Ketchup

Israel didn't ban the sale of Heinz brand ketchup; the country's Health Ministry just ruled that the company had to rebrand it as "tomato seasoning."

I'm the same with toilet paper. Since I have been told both the south africans and the israelis use it, I am having a dirty protest.

 

[Whagwan]

Have preferred Branston for a while now but got some Hienz a couple of weeks ago and was shocked at how watery and like the own brand ones they are...

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I wonder who will blink first.

I guess it depends on how brand focused people are. If you can't live without Heinz beans then you'll go to another supermarket. If you don't give a shit, you'll just buy something else.

Seems like both parties are rather full of their own self-importance.

Toilet paper eh - I've not heard of that brand.

No it doesn't. It says they have stopped supplying them and it explains that this is because Tesco don't want to pay the price that Heinz is asking.

So that is Heinz dropping Tesco then as Heinz won't supply Tesco.
