Advantages: Easy to cook, convenient, VERY cheap, filling Disadvantages: Too much salt and suger
I must say, in the last week or so I've been getting the bug for writing, so have thought 'ooo I could review that' on just about everything I eat and use. Whilst making my dinner, of good old beans on toast, I was reminded how much I love 'Value beans' and how great value I think they are. I always make sure that I have a tin of them in my cupboard.
As far as taste goes, I can't tell any difference between these and the bigger brands. To be honest, ... ...so cheap, one tin costs a measly 20p for Tesco. Ok, so I may be only saving myself about 30p by buying the cheaper option, but it makes me feel better, 'every little helps'. But even trying an expensive tin, you won't be getting much extra, in my opinion. People have commented that in a value tin, you will get more sauce, which is arguably more watery, but I don't always find that to be the case. Yes, there is a lot of sauce, but there would be if ...

Advantages: Cheaper than Heinz, nicer flavour sauce, thicker sauce and more beans Disadvantages: If you like a lot of sauce then you won't like these as much as Heinz!
We do our shopping with Tesco Direct, and as I am sure you may know from personal experience, or from reading opinions on here, it is quite common to get a substitute product in place of one you have ordered. If it is not to your liking you can send it back, but often it is a good way of trying new brands or products which you may otherwise not have tried.
This is how we ended up with Tesco Beans in Tomato Sauce. Usually preferring Heinz, I was ... ...for your money in the Tesco variety. The can itself is mainly red, with white writing, green detailing and a photo of some beans on a spoon. Amazingly, Tesco have resisted the temptation to write ‘Serving Suggestion’ underneath. They obviously realised that even the most stupid or unreasonable person was not going to turn up in the store complaining that there was no spoon in the can with their beans. The can is opened with an easy to use ring-pull ...

Basic beans, Tesco value only 9p.
Yes they are cheap. These tins are readily available at Tesco’s. Stacked in the aisles with other branded baked beans. They tempted me first a few years ago. The tin is plain, the white label with blue markings and TesoValue in red, no picture to identify the contents so may these may not be any use for a person unable to read English.
The tin contains 420g
Contents are listed on tin, as are storage and cooking ... ...when camping in the wilds.
Or can even be eaten cold if necessary.

Advantages: Cheap and tasty. Disadvantages: Unexciting packaging.
...whims I decided to give TESCO Value Baked Beans a try. Being a bit of a coward I only bought 1 tin the first week to use of my guinea pigs.
The packaging is very unattractive - white with blue stripes and red and blue lettering confirming the product. No lovely pictures of hot, steaming beans on the front of this one. But at 9p for a 420g tin it is not much to lose, I thought, if no one likes them. The tin is also a lot thinner than its' competitors ... ...the bland packaging price keeps down the manufacturing cost. After all, I thought I am buying the product why should I care about the packaging when it will finish up with my next wheelie bin collection.
The moment of truth came - chicken dippers and chips - along with beans. I never told anyone they were the cheaper variety - just waited to see if there was any reaction. When serving them I emptied the pan - no sauce left on the bottom as is the ...

...on the cheaper varieties and Tesco have once again proved that less money doesn't necessarily mean less quality.
₪₪The Tin₪₪
I won't bore you with too much detail here but the tin isn't a ring pull variety and does require you to use a can opener. The label is a red and white affair with a picture of a fork with baked beans on it and the words Tesco Value to one side and baked beans emblazoned on the front. Okay so I know ... ...As this is a Tesco own brand, it is only available from Tesco stores or online at Tesco.co.uk. I'm sure other supermarkets do their own brand too which you could try.
₪₪The Price₪₪
This is the important bit:
For my humble tin of Value Baked Beans I paid a small sum of 14 pence.
The other own brand baked beans that Tesco produce and sell costs 24 pence.
Not bad when you take into consideration that Heinz baked beans cost ...

My final point being that Tesco's beans are excellent value for money and are just as nice if not nicer than Heinz.If you buy the Tesco's four pack of beans instead of the Heinz four pack you will save yourself 44p(enough for a yummy bar of chocolate)
I recommend these beans to all.

Advantages: Good Value for Money. Tasty Enough Disadvantages: Not Too Many
Tesco are today the largest supermarket group in UK and they have also spread their wings overseas with a chain of outlets in countries such as Thailand and Malaysia,as well as several countries in Europe.
This supermarket group also has a lot of their own brand labels on their shelves, this is especially the case of canned products. Items like canned tomatoes,spaghetti, baked beans and fruits are much cheaper as own labels than from original manufacturers. ... ...A tin of Tesco's own label baked beans cost me just 9 pence,the last time I bought them. This is very much cheaper than many other brands.
What do they taste like ? Like baked beans. Seriously I cannot detect any really significant difference between Tesco's own and those of well known manufacturers. Another plus point is that this product is nutritional - we all need to take a regular supply of pulses and beans in our diet.

...him, then I noticed the Tesco Value Baked Beans at 15p for a 420g can even if I had to throw half of them out it was still cheaper than buying the small can, but did they taste as good I wonder, we shall find out later in the review. Well you can recognise this product on the shelves with its basic packaging which is a white label with the Tesco Value blue and white logo on the top and the words Baked Beans written in red and the words in tomato ... ...each time I am in Tesco as they come in handy for a lunch or supper too. I like adding some Worcester Sauce to them whilst they are still in the pot it adds that extra flavour to them, the same with normal brown sauce if you haven't tried it then give it a go it is a pleasant change. Now you should store these unopened in a cool dry place but once you open you should store them in a non metallic container in the fridge and use within a couple of ...

Tin can with the Tesco white value label around with the 7 lines and Tesco value brand underneath it.

The beans are quite nice and taste like many other high street brands. They are quite firm little beans and I find that not many of them are squashed.
They do not leave an aftertaste in your mouth and you have to remember it might be a bit unfair to compare them to a tin that cost over 50p in the shop. As for that you ...

I tried Tesco Baked Beans a few years ago and found they were really no different to the big brand names which you pay a lot more for.
They have a rich and thick tomato sauce and are very good value.
They can be used for quick a snack such as beans on toast or served with a main meal.
They can be served hot or cold and go well with the traditional breakfast of Sausage,Egg,Bacon and bread.
I have also added them to minced beef to bulk up the meal ... ...met anyone yet who does'nt like baked beans,
Since using Tesco's own brand baked beans I have found them satisfactory enough not to use any others and always have at least 4 tins in the cupboard.
As they are Tesco's own brand they can only be found in Tesco's.
And are available at a very low price of 420g for 13p. Ingredients...

I am an avid Tesco shopper for my day to day shopping, so i though i would trawl through and see what items i could review. Yesterday i did a toothpaste review, so now i will do this baked bean review.
Tesco value baked beans are exactly what they say on the tin, VALUE baked beans. Now, you have to admit 9p for a tin of beans is cheap. Before i realised how much sugar was in them i used to buy them. Now i purchase the healthy living beans.
For ... ...The packaging is Tescos infamous white and red value label. There is a picture of a fork with some baked beans on, but it does not inspire. The label also shows all its vital statistics, like how to cook using a hob or microwave. It also gives about storage and thankfully comes with a recycle logo. Now here is the crucial bit of labelling - the nutrition value. Bear in mind beans are supposed to be healthy and constitute one daily portion of fruit ...

Advantages: Cheap, nutritional Disadvantages: The taste, too much sauce
...disappointed when I tried these Tesco beans. They seem to be less than in a Heinz tin ( my nephews love them ) and lots of sauce - not that I am so bored I have counted them.
Tesco like every other supermarket has a lot of their own brand labels on their shelves to compete with brand names and normally this is what I go for as I can usually taste no difference and get better value for money. This is very evident in the case of baked beans. A tin ... ...much cheaper than many other brands.
What do they taste like ? Like baked beans. Which was the problem. I know they are nutritional - we all need to take a regular supply of pulses and beans in our diet and they are a versitile foodstuff with kids ( and hard up students )just loving their baked beans on toast and other culinary delights. But the taste of them is just ugh, slimey, no flavour - apart from the sauce, the after effects - the famous ...

...pinstripe packaging, is the 11p Tesco VALUE bean? I certainly can`t resist.
Back at home when I reach for the VALUE tin I don`t really mind that I need also to reach for my tin opener (I`m not very good with ring pulls anyway). Nor does it bother me that there is ever so slightly more bean juice in the can compared with the Heinz can. Bean juice is just fine. In the back of my mind I know that on average I am getting 4.5 times as many beans for ...

My review actually relates to the Tesco Value versions and to be quite honest I actually PREFER them to Heinz.
They are a lot less sloppy and you get more beans per tin - not that I have counted them, but you must do coz there is much less juice (which is usually wasted in our household when there is too much).
The Tesco Value Beans will hands down for me - sorry Heinz you have lost my trade on beans!
