AIBU to think Heinz is poor value and overrated?

I’m wondering if those people who ‘have’ to have Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Heinz Baked Beans, Heinz soups, Heinz salad cream etc. Have never tried other brands including supermarket own lines?

Heinz is a brand which is a rip off and products don’t taste nice or have some weird texture.

I have no Heinz products at all in my home.

One of my friends’ DH used to be ‘everything has to be Heinz’. My friend got fed up with the rip off prices and bought the supermarket own. Then one day, she and DH had beans on toast for lunch. He said the beans are very nice and nicer than before. She confessed that the beans were Aldi’s own. Plus could buy almost 4 cans for the price of 1 Heinz can.

I used to only eat Heinz beans but they’re actually horrible now, watery and flavourless, so I’ve switched to a much cheaper brand and they’re much nicer.

Stopped buying Heinz 2 yrs ago. Not the quality they used to be. No taste at all. Tesco and Aldi baked beans much better. Same with their soups.

YABU. I prefer Sainsbury own label but some people do genuinely prefer Heinz.

For me, only Kelloggs cornflakes are acceptable.

We stopped buying Heinz products a few years ago. The quality has gone massively downhill and a lot of their products have me raging heartburn, so no idea what they put in the tinned goods. There are much better products out there, often with better ingredients and for a lower price. I find the same with a lot of brands these days. They have mostly gone the same way in order to maintain a profit.
