To not know how people can afford Heinz Beans?

HJ83 · 2024-07-31T16:42:52+00:00

Well how? My budget will only stretch to supermarket own brand beans, yet everywhere I look people are eating Heinz beans. How do they afford it?

I made DP drive me to 3 different garden centres today to buy Heinz baked bean plants and the staff were terribly unhelpful and in one case downright insolent.

I felt like I was trapped in an Alan Partridge scene with that dreadful motel receptionist.

I don't like Heinz beans, so don't buy them. Usually supermarket own brand, or Branstons.

At least 30% of the people on this thread have no sense of humour.

Maybe they sold their sense of humour to buy beans?

It’s like how can people spend £4 on one coffee a day every day?

One of the most pathetic things I have seen was before Costa moved to its current location, it was in a unit opposite work. During the 2021 lockdown, Costa were able to open but for takeaways via app. The queues for Costa were about 25 people. Plus one week we had snow. By the time they walked out of Costa with their drink and walked home - coffee would be cold.

Never seen the attraction of these coffee chains. If I’m out and about- I go to the independent cafes and those with a handful of cafes in the area

I honestly make a nicer coffee in my dulce gusto machine, than Starbucks, costa, and it saves a fortune. I just make it in a travel cup, so take it out the door with me. The lattes out are always so milky, and not hot enough! I think Covid taught a lot of people that we're getting ripped off, for something that can often be made better at home; it's easy when you know how. Alot of places need to upt their game!
Anyway i digress...

I make sacrifices. One fewer Starbucks a day means I can buy Heinz

You know you can make your own starbucks at home, from scratch, and avoid their UPF syrups? It's basic science you know 🤣

Do some people get their beans on a lease? I know some people do that with cars.

I buy Aldi beans in bulk, 17 years old, falling to bits, and a rusty lid or 2, but still going strong. I can't afford heinz on my 6 figure salary . 😂

Yourdemonsyourproblem · 01/08/2024 19:29

Oh this is a joke thread 🤣

Yourdemonsyourproblem · 01/08/2024 19:27

I can afford heinz not that I buy it, over rated Morrisons, Aldi and mns are nicer.

We were lucky and discoveted Grandad's wartime hoard of Izal toilet paper, so we're using that in place of the expensive quilted stuff, which frees up some money for the Heinz Baked Beans.

One has to be careful as screwing it up too much can create some rather unpleasant sharp peaks.
A double egded sword I suppose, at least that's what it feels like. 😫

I LOVE baked beans and only Heinz baked beans, so there is no chance of getting a different make.

And this is why young people can't get on the housing ladder

I feel this way about alcohol. Its a pointless waste of a lot of money how on earth do people justify spending anything more than a fiver every few weeks for a bottle of wine or a case of beer. ??

Oh FFS, some people can afford champagne, lobster and caviare! Not all, but some. We all have different levels of income, and different spending priorities. And, let's face it, baked beans have never been considered a luxury item.....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are ALL being unreasonable. Baked beans are the most disgusting thing known to man and no one should be buying any brand of them.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

😱 Reporting!

Jennyathemall · 31/07/2024 17:44

Yes I know, I must have seen like thirty people eating beans today and they were all Heinz. It’s literally everywhere. When will the madness stop?

As mentioned in the food related thread - Heinz is a very inferior and rip off brand. They are marketing to the ignorant thinking their products are the best "Its got to be Heinz"

I'm sticking to my Lidl beans and can get (can't remember if its exact for a few pence more) 5 cans for the price of one Heinz.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/08/2024 09:13

TeachesOfPeaches · 01/08/2024 06:23

I actually can't afford them but I have a 'show can' that I reuse and refill with Aldi beans. Great for when you have guests and want to really impress

Just like my coke bottle 😂😂

AntoinetteCurtain · 01/08/2024 09:09

Have you noticed how there's a total press blackout about this serious issue.

I bet they're eating beans at number 10. I heard a rumour that the cat there has beans for breakfast every day, a whole tin. Greedy bastard

Willmafrockfit · 01/08/2024 07:27

i used to prefer Cross and Blackwell

now just go with value, be it tesco asda or lidl

SheldontheWonderSchlong · 01/08/2024 07:21

Slightly used car and only 2 holidays a year for us, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for my kids to have Heinz. I guess I just value my children's right to good baked beans more than others. Different priorities.
