Yes, it's very cheap. yes, it's very poor. Tesco Value's range compares poorly with other supermarkets, often in price, but always on quality. The quality of this product in question is basic, or if you use a lot of this in your household, even less than that.
Taste is vaguely metalic, watery and with no ziing to it. Perfectly acceptable to a lot of people.
Quality product lulls between poor and satisfactory. Value for money is good over all.
Other supermarkets standard ranges (Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl) often give a better choice in price, but I'm still looking out for one thing in particular which is of poorer quality than Tesco's. It has been a very long time since I started comparing the price of basic food products such as this from one retailer to another, and in general I have found Tesco and Sainsbury's lagging behind in almost every category (except sales!).
My honest opinion, buy only if you honestly can't afford anything else, it is worth going somewhere else to buy your tomatoes and you really won't be paying more than a few pence more, which will show up on your cooking and really add more value than those few pence. Please note as well how the next cheapest Tin of Tomatoes seems to be over 3 times the price. Cheeky.
