Heinz - awful products

[cheesefest]

I find Heinz products very inferior. Baked beans - sauce with a funny aftertaste with more bean carcasses. Soup - again funny aftertaste which coats tongue with certain flavours. Ketchup - far too acidic.

There are people who “have to have Heinz” probably never tried other brands.

Heinz’s products are so expensive, compared to other brands. Who pays £1.70 for a tin of soup, £4 for a bottle of ketchup, £1.50 for a tin of beans?

Think some people need to stop buying Heinz and switch to supermarket own label and discover the better taste and save money! Much prefer Sainsbury’s own ketchup.

Did laugh at the price of Heinz soup tins when I was in Tesco this morning.

cheaper to make your own soup including the heating etc

More expensive than "premium" tins of soup now.

People should boycott Heinz and buy other brands or supermarket own lines.

I remember Heinz soup being just 20p more than my employer's brand. Now can get 3 tins of ours and get change for the same price as Heinz.

@inogen have you tried Lidl’s deluxe gravy? In beef and chicken.

Still looking for a decent veg gravy

Trading on the name whilst slashing the quality of the ingredients in the products.

Exactly, brainwashing the thick people with slogans “it’s got to be Heinz”.

Shoppers turn to own-label lines to save money

Sales of value lines have grown 47% in the last year as food prices soar, research suggests.

Own brand sales have increased by 47%. Would like to see the top 5 losers in brands. Reckon Heinz, Kelloggs and Andrex are there.

Still have customers buying everything branded. If fresh chicken was available in a brand, they would buy that too.

Heinz is generally pretty rubbish, IMO.

Croos&blackwell and several other tinned soups are much better. I actually avoid Heinz these days as it's always dissappointing and over priced. Same with ketchup and beans.

The few tins of soup I have are bought from places like B&M etc as do different soups to what you see in supermarkets.

Are these the soups you are talking about?

Rarely see the others, bar chicken and veg, winter veg and beef n veg in supermarkets. But seen the others in B&M, Home Bargains and the like. Ham Hock and veg is good.

Those soups are bloody lovely. The cream of chicken is the best out there by miles. Some of the others are so chunky, they’re more like little cans of stew. Lovely lunch with buttered bread.

The ham hock one sounds good
