Advantages: versatile and very cheap Disadvantages: maybe slightly poorer quality
A tin of tomatoes is not just a handy store cupboard item but a versatile food and full of goodness.
I have always been a sucker (not literally!)for tomatoes,especially being veggie, but I now buy at least six tins on each shopping trip,and have conquered my dislike of being spotted with Tesco Value packaging filling up my trolley!
You will find Tesco Value tomatoes,always in 400g tins, in the tinned food section,usually near the baked beans.
... ...with blue stripes,announcing Tesco and a bigger Value in red.You can buy this product as chopped tomatoes or plum tomatoes.The plums are 15p per tin in my store and the chopped variety are 23p.I cannot see why anybody would pay more when they could chop them up themselves!
I think this is so cheap and notice that other leading brands charge far more,around the 40p mark.
The fruits themselves ( I still find it hard to describe a tomato as a fruit,why? ...

Advantages: Fantastic price! Nice taste. Can do lots with it. Disadvantages: None
When it comes to shopping I have to shop on a budget. So I generally do my shopping in Tesco's and buy their own value brand products. They're really cheap, and I can get LOTS more for my money! I once told my Nanny that I felt a bit embarressed buying the value range of products as people could then tell I was poor - especially when I saw people putting stuff like Heinz, Walkers and Walls ice cream in their trollies! She said "Oh, I wouldn't worry ... ...I always stock up with plenty of their baked beans and plum tomatoes. Tesco Value Plum Tomatoes can be bought for the princely some of just £0.15p for a 400g tin. Not bad, eh?!
The tin is predominantly white and red with the famous blue and white striped Tesco mark at the top of the tin. On one side of the tin are the ingredients, nutritional information, how to cook information (just in case you need telling!) and storage details.
On opening the ...

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful Disadvantages: None that I can think of
You know what it's like when you haven't got much dosh and you want something cheap to eat. Well that's the predicament that I was in.
Plum tomato's go with almost anything and I thought, yeah I'm going to make a casserole with these. O.k they weren't anything to look at in the plain blue striped Tesco tin, but what I saw when I opened the tin was surprising. They were just like any other plum tomato's, but yet I'd paid half the price for them. ... ...you know when you want to stock up on anything well these are great to stock up on cause they last for ages. These Tesco tomato's contain 60 % tomato juice and citric acid. 23p for 400g and you can't go wrong.
My husbands sitting there hungry and I throw a tin of these into the casserole it just adds extra flavour. I have known people eating these with a breakfast fry up too. With their bacon. O.k you may look at these tomato's and think your being ...

Advantages: Price,Tasty,value for money Disadvantages: the 1/2 a tomato in every tin
...problem I personally have with tescos own brand is the "Value" design. I find that I tend to be slightly embarassed about appearing mean if I have too many Value items in my trolley (probably just be being strange).
Below is some information from the tin which you may find useful:
Free from: Egg, Benzoate, Gluten, Maize, Wheat, Glutamate, Milk, Sulphur Dioxide
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans ...
