To not know how people can afford Heinz Beans?

[HJ83]

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?

But didn't even Branson's use to be 4 for £1 from Poundland. (When Poundland meant what it said)

This is mumsnet, why aren't you all batch cooking beans?
I'm sure Jamie Oliver has a recipe.

😂😂😂

We buy them but that’s because DP is an immigrant and I’m on disability benefits.

We can only afford to eat a bean a week but we must conform to the stereotype…

Agree 👍🏻

We moved out if London to The North. It means we have to watch the local news with the subtitles on and buy our clothes from market stalls, but it was all worth it to be able to have HBB and remain debt-free. There is life outside of London, doncha know.

I don't know but I heard a rumour that Labour are going to put extra VAT on Heinz beans. And good on them. Why should other people get the luxury of eating them. I could afford it but I don't buy them out of principle.

I had to give up avocado toast and takeaway lattes, but it was worth it. Beans are cheaper here in the North.

M&S and Aldi beans are exactly the same and a lot cheaper

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

In the last few years, while many were forced to turn to food banks, we've been fortunate enough to be able to afford Heinz baked beans and keep the aga running. But with VAT on the children's school places looming, I fear even those little luxuries are under threat. Not a scenario I'd ever expected to face, but I'm afraid that's life under Keir Starmer's Labours 🤷‍♂️

I buy Heinz but when I see them on special offer or in places like B&M. I would never pay their full whack price anymore, and yes the M&S beans are great for the price.

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.

i used to prefer Cross and Blackwell

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

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

Just like my coke bottle 😂😂

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.

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!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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. ??

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
