Baked beans. How often?

[ODFOx]

We go through 4 tins a week and yet they rarely feature in main evening meals. They just get used for quick lunches or brunches on the go, with toast or a jacket potato.
At our local food bank the emergency week of food for a family of 4 includes 4 tins of beans and I thought it wasn't enough if beans are to be a main protein source but some of the others thought 4 tins was loads and a family of 4 would be sick of beans.
How many tins a week does your household get through?

None , disgusting things.

Once a month at most, and then generally just eaten with a spoon 'cos someone in the family fancies them.

Too many. Did you know baked beans are also a source of calcium?

Maybe one between 4 of us. DD loves them, DS hates them, DH and I have them once in a while.

Around 3-4. We buy the sugar free/no added sugar ones and add them to lots of things

But then I don't like giving my children cereal/toast for breakfast so beans are a great and quick option

Since dh has been working from home, 4 or 5 of the microwave packs a week. Before then maybe a tin or 2.

1-2 cans beans / spaghetti hoops per month (DD1 doesn't like beans).

We only have them on toast as an occasional lunch.

We eat loads, I love them. Beans and egg on toast for breakfast or lunch, add them to shepherds pie etc, or have them with basic meals like sausage and mash.

It varies but would be unusual to use 4x a week for us. But, if I was in a really hard situation with little fresh veg then I imagine I’d definitely use 4.

6 a week

Loads, I'm sure people think I'm panic buying when I load up but they are quick and filling and go with most things, I even add them to cottage pie to stretch the meat, kids have egg beans and toast most mornings as well.

We eat (or at least the kids do) beans most weeks, but most weeks only 1 and never more than 3. I think 4 tins is plenty.

I buy the little ones - normal for DH and I, healthy version for the DC.
Probably 4 a week? We usually have jacket potatoes one evening, and I sometimes have beans on toast for lunch.

1 a week.

Maybe 1 can a month, family of 4.

From a Food Bank point of view we are inundated with baked beans and most people/families rarely want more than one or two tins a week.

Yes, I know they are nutritious and cheap .... but there's something a bit depressing about dealing with mountains of baked beans as donations .

We had loads of beans too Ragwort, but when we're putting 4 tins into every weekly bag they go down so fast!

I eat them most days.

op sorry for the detail!

We have 2/week the children have them for a quick supper with jackets and cheese and maybe on toast for a lunch at the weekend.

twice a year as part of a fry up breakfast.

they make my insides explode and I can heat the house with the fumes, so the occasions are carefully chosen.

Normally, less than one a month.

But we had to self isolate for 14 days earlier in the year, and got through 3 or 4 tins in that time. They were an absolute godsend.

I buy the small tins as I am not terribly keen, they come in a pack of 3 and I buy them once a month-ish - I always have a spare pack, so might buy 2 packs a month if it’s been a baked bean-heavy month? I like other types of beans though so we’re not bean deprived

1 or 2 tins a week, always as part of a meal. I couldn't eat baked beans until I was 15 as I hated them up.to that point. I like a small amount, ds doesn't really like them and dh loves them.

4 probably. We are 2 adults and 2 primary school kids and we would probably eat them once or twice a week.
