... throughout the winter months. Obviously, cost is a major factor when buying ingredients.
I have tried many different types, usually shying away from the cheapest brand and going mid range, but decided to try Sainsburys basics, at a cost of 16p for a 420g tin, instead of the other Sainsburys tin priced at 42p for 410g!
I must say, I have never gone back. They taste as good, and do exactly the same thing, although the Basic ones do have 6 more calories per 100g than the other Sainsburys ones!
The only downside is the ...more

I've always bought cheap tinned kidney beans when I make Chilli Con Carne as I have found that there is very little difference between cheap and more expensive brands. I opted for these when making my latest Chilli as I wanted to make it as cheap as possible. These cost me about 30p for a standard 400g tin. As it is part of the Sainsburys Basics range, the tin's label is in the same white and orange colours as the rest of the range. The front just has the name of the product and the rear contains cooking product information. These kidney beans come in water, which when you pour it out is a deep red colour and can be quite viscous. I always wash ... Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Basics Tinned Red Kidney Beans Description: Manufacturer: Sainsbury's / Type: Kidney Beans Anyone who has read some of my earlier reviews (thanks so much, I really appreciate all the reads, rates and comments!) will know by now that I am a big fan of the supermarket ranges which save me money by spending less on posh packaging. There was a time when I would walk past the "cheap looking" brands, assuming that the ones with fancy packaging would be better. Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised by how good some of the items in these ranges actually are. The packaging only gets thrown in the bin, so ... Read the complete review

I am always on the look out for ways to save money, and have recently been trying a lot of the sainsburys basics range, which I have now trained my eyes to look for. (They are almost always on the bottom shelves). I found these in the tinned goods aisle. There are these which cost 19p for a 420g tin and then the next brand up which is a slightly more attractively packaged but still sainsburys own tin and that costs 70p for 410g. I can't see any difference in these two tins apart from the packaging, so if that's what I'm paying extra for, I'm happy to go with the cheaper option. I have no idea what makes kidney beans good or bad, I only use them for ... Read the complete review

Nowadays, I don't see the point in paying inflated prices for basic cooking ingredients. Why should you pay a King's ransom for a perfectly shaped kidney bean where a slightly mis-shaped or broken one will do the job just as well and taste just the same? These Sainsbury's Basics Red Kidney Beans are an absolute bargain at just 19p for a 420g tin. Sainsbury's also do a 'superior' tin of similar beans priced at 70p for a 410g tin. I used to buy the more expensive ones because I thought they would taste better. Having now tried the Basics ones, guess what, they taste exactly the same! Typically for supermarket budget branding, the packaging is nowhere ... Read the complete review
