Tesco Value Baked Beans

I have to confess to being a bit of a 'brand snob', my husband often berates me, saying that all too often i judge a product by its brand name, or the pretty packaging-a bad (not to mention expensive) trait to have, and one that leads to manufacturers designing expensive colourful packaging and using harmful food dyes to make food look nicer for longer, no doubt. Now, one of the few exceptions i have (although i am gradually getting better, but theres still alot of things i wont go for the cheap option on, like meats), i like these beans! its not even the fact that they're cheaper than other leading brands, i genuinely like the taste of these beans. It may have something ...

Tesco have launched few years ago their brand of products. They are "Value" products because much cheaper than the equivalent product from a well known brand, and at the same time, they are supposed not to compromise with quality. I have been buying their value baked beans for some years (no funny jokes here, I do not have any problem with wind!) I think they are one of the best value products from Tesco. They (the beans) come in a very nice tomato sauce, which is quite thick and a bit sweet. There are plenty of beans in the 420 ml tin, (which cost less than 30 pennies, do not ask me whether 28 or 29). You can use this product ...

My mum buys these when she does the weekly shopping as she says they are good value for money but personaly I cant stand then they are revolting. The sauce in these beans is very watery and a lot lighter in colour than other brands, it tastes weaker and tastes very very sweet, so much so it is actually quite sickly tasting which I realy didnt like as beans are supposed to be savory as far as I am concerned. Another bad point to these beans is that they are a lot harder in texture than other brands of beans, I dont know if this is because they havent been boiled for long enough before they were put in the tin or if they have been boiled for too long ...
