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’ll always buy Heinz no matter the price. Anyone who says own brands are better are lying to themselves

They’re not even nice!

I prefer branston, but ALDIs are a close second.

Good taste

Branston beans are about 50 times better than Heinz. Theres no comparison.

I’d honestly cut something else out of my budget than have to compromise on Branston beans 😂

The never-never I suspect

Rainbowbaby234 · 31/07/2024 17:55

Aldi beans are actually much tastier.

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.....

Exactly this!

JabbaTheBeachHut · 31/07/2024 17:58

Only Fans and prostitution.

That's the only way I can afford them.

I also long for a bottle of Heinz tomato ketchup, so may take in some ironing.

Although frankly, the latter would make me disgusted at myself.

Bonjovispjs · 31/07/2024 17:58

Hilarious that some people are taking this thread seriously 🤣 And baked beans are horrible anyway.

tillyandmilly · 31/07/2024 17:59

Sorry I just had to laugh at the comments! 🤣🤣

Do you sell foot pics on only fans? Maybe of feet covered in beans Grin

Bath in beans 😄

Yes, and ashamed to say I'm falsely advertising my bunion as a red kidney bean.

Where are you looking to be seeing tonnes of people eating Heinz beans? 😂

I wouldn't be hanging around for long!!! 💨

WindsurfingDreams · 31/07/2024 18:02

I think some people's parents give them their heinz beans.

And some people skimp and buy cheap bread so they can spend the cash on the beans instead.

Reallybadidea · 31/07/2024 18:03

I couldn't afford to buy Heinz baked beans until I started my own business selling natural aloe vera products. PM me if you'd like more information 👍

Octavia64 · 31/07/2024 18:03

You want the Heinz 5 beans. An upgrade but they are so much nicer!

IDontHateRainbows · 31/07/2024 18:04

Inherited. They last quite some time in cans I hear.

Grandmasswagbag · 31/07/2024 18:05

When we have them they are the main part of a meal. Beans on toast/jacket potato, so still a very cheap meal compared to other toppings. I won't eat beans if they're not heinz. I find all other varieties disgusting. So I guess we eat beans less and have better ones.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 31/07/2024 18:06

I think my favourite bean is Sean.

OlympicProcrastinator · 31/07/2024 18:07

Some people prioritise OP. They forfeit holidays, flat screen tv’s and avacados to afford them. Jealously is not a good look.

Whenwillitgetwarm · 31/07/2024 18:07

I also often wonder how people afford it. I’ve worked hard all my life and can’t. It’s such a mystery. Surely we all earn exactly the same amount of money with the same outgoings??

Mind you my mates uncle once saw a bag full of Heinz beans being carried into one of those asylum seeker 5 star hotels. He also said they give everyone a can with their weekly benefits in Jaywick. So it’s probably only scroungers who get them.

Testina · 31/07/2024 18:08

I afford Heinz beans on toast, by not being one of those profligate Millennial fools who buy avocados 🥑 to smash theirs.

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 31/07/2024 18:08

We ask for them for Christmas, instead of toys for the children.

Where are you looking to see all those people eating any brand of beans? We have Crosse & Blackwell low salt/low sugar ones, £1 a tin. Once a week. Two tins for all of us. Saturday morning beans on toast. Me DH DD and DS How often do you need to eat beans?

I saw someone eating Heinz beans in the back of a brand new BMW X5685 the other day, they also had a 90inch TV and a goat.

Bet they were swindling their benefits

😂
