[@harryskatt9451]

Thanks mate, for responding to my comments am Ex-Army, and l left the service about two years ago.After leaving army l got a good job, but due Covid the company closed down, so ended up in a burger meat factory, it's not the worst job, am getting promoted to duty manager in two weeks, but this short term job for myself. Am going back into door supervisor security, once am sure there is no more lock-downs. Thanks for not looking down on me, so many others do.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

I'm ex Army too mate 7 years served. Will never look down on anyone mate. I was rock bottom a year after I got out no job no savings relationship and house gone and back to me mums. We get there pal. Sounds like you got a good job mate. 😋👍👍

[@mcfluffchucker]

Totally agree they are actually really good , trick I used to use in my skint days was to pinch some Oxo cube ( just a little) on each side of the burger and rub it all over then grill , actually came out tasting like a Micheline stared Ramsey burger . Try it folks you love it , great video again , when are you doing the Aldi mackerel one .......😁🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Really appreciating these comparison videos as I am on a very tight budget! Switched to asda smart price for a few things and have been quite surprised by them. Usually get the breaded chicken burgers for a lunchtime snack and they are alright once the chilli sauce is on there. This week they subbed them with birds eye ones and honestly I could not have told you the difference.

You’re doing the real people of the nation proud,when I was younger and bringing up a family,money was so tight,every penny counted and luxuries were a far and few between treat,now that the kids have flown the nest I can afford to spoil ourselves a little,but it’s nice to know with your reviews,that although I can afford some branded foodstuffs,it’s not always worth paying for the name,you just earned yourself another foodie follower👍

[@rickb3645]

It definitely looks like Asda Smart Price items, are pretty good compared with the more expensive products... I've seen a few reviews of the Smart Price items you've done before Gaz... And they all seem to do really well in comparison tests... There's almost no difference between these two Beef Burgers... Certainly none that kids could detect anyway... Like you said, once they chuck it in a Burger Bun with a load of Ketchup etc. they won't know the difference anyway... £2.18 less for the Smart Price Beef Burgers means with the money you save... You can buy a large bag of Asda Smart Price Chips 1.5kg for £0.90... And a pack of Warburtons 8 Sliced Soft White Rolls for £1.00, and still have change left over... Why would anyone want to pay the extra money!?... Another great money saving review Gaz... Keep up the good work mate... Cheers. 🍺

Hi Gareth. Not surprised you were rough Sat. I counted 3 Old Speckled Hen at 5.2% plus Holsten Pils and Hawkshead Gold. Those dark malty beers say headache to me. Go for the lighter in colour hoppy beers. Good review. You are spot on when you say you are not going to notice the difference when it is in a bun with all the other extras. Loved your live vid fri. Keep making more vids as you do. Love them all. Best wishes.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you, yes lighter beers next time definitely and sticking to one brand lol all the best, Gareth 😋🍻🍻🍻

[@TheAvarusAnimus]

@@BaldFoodieGuy Top tip here Gareth! Take a sachet of Dioraltye (Electrolyte brand name) in a pint of water before going to bed. Learnt this from my mate whos a fireman here in Dublin. Alcohol is a diuretic, and your body wants to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Your body uses up huge amounts of water to get the alcohol out of your system hence why you pee a lot when drinking. You lose all the salts in your stomach from going to the toilet which leads to dehydration and a monster hangover. I never have a hangover any more..try it!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers, I will if I remember. I never normally get hang overs. That's changed lol

Well done Gareth!! I remember as a kid growing up in the 70s we could get Birds Eye beefburgers WITHOUT onion. I always went for them. I don't think they produce them anymore.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes I don't know what make we had when young but they were small tasty burgers 🍔😋😋

[@dereksquires7251]

i find that the smart price food is just as nice as its leading brand when making a meal on a budget in the end you can save quite a bit so for example for 4 peaple burgers mash spud mixed veg frozen and gravy all smart price will cost you about £5 but if you go for the best items the same meal can cost about £15 so for a hot meal that will fill you the smart price wins every day thats my option every time cheers for your hard work and excellent vids keep up the good work

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Derek, you are right mate. All the best 😋👍👍

[@keithclark6299]

Hi Gareth, I have recently started shopping at Asda, one product that has stood out for me is Smart Price Chicken in White Wine sauce (in a tin) I have used it topped with mash and crisped like a shepherd's pie, or put a pie crust over it as a chicken pie. £1.00. Next time you're there grab a can and try it mate, just another reason to try out these "smart price" products

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Keith, yes a lad on Instagram sent me a picture of that. One to look at cheers 😋👍👍

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Yeah, a lot of Smart Price and equivalents from other supermarkets are often very good value.

[@steely666]

I get the Smart Price Chicken in White sauce, it is lovely.

[@itzims5248]

For me, it would be about avoiding the high carb junk fillers... so I would go with the meatier burgers.

[@stephenchecksfield632]

Very informative video Gareth I have like yourself tried the smart price burgers and the ASDA burgers granted I find the ASDA burgers have more of a beef flavour than the smart price burgers but they are not bad for the price I have also tried the Iceland quarter pounder burgers pack of 4 burgers and they have a really good meaty texture and a very good beef content and onion content all in all the Iceland quarter pounders are very tasty burgers and reasonable priced too 😉

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you Stephen 👌👌

[@thomasrudd4347]

Hi Gareth, l hope your doing great, the only difference here is that Asda middle range uses 100% normal beef mince and the economy supermarket burger/ Smartprice can use up to 30% Offal i.e. kidney heart and tongue, in the manufacture of the burger that's how their is part of the price difference. All supermarkets make their money on the middle range not the economy range. They use British and lrish meat as it says on the box, the man who owns meat/burger factory is one richest man in the UK and Ireland, he owns meats factories in four different countries in Europe, and one in brazil and he even owns two dog/cat food factories.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Thomas yes bet he has a few quid 👍👍

[@wolfman011000]

I buy the chilled ASDA Succulent 8 Beef Burgers, atm they are on offer for 2 for £7 £5.14 per kg, Beef (86%) we freeze the extra. Currently the frozen 10 pack asda burgers are £5.28 per kg. I will point out that the frozen birdeye 4 pk burgers are currently on offer for 5 pk for £5 or £4.42 per kg. We like the flavour, texture and size of the ASDA Succulent Beef Burgers compared to the prefrozen ones, that being said we have 10 of the birdseye 4pks in the chest freezer as well as they are ideal for any in the moment beer and burger evenings in the back garden.

Thanks Gareth I did comment before that Asda smart price are surprisingly ok if on a tight budget

[@KrisCochrane]

Not sure if it's been mentioned (I did have a quick look) but both boxes have the same "Health Identifier" (the black oval, UK HN012 in this case) so they were absolutely produced in the same facility.

cheers for the information Kris

[@KrisCochrane]

@@BaldFoodieGuy It's an easy way to see if two products are made by the same company. I.e. if you have Tesco sausages and you're convinced they are the same as Morrison's, that black oval will (should) confirm your suspicions!

First of all it was great watching you Friday. I thought at the end you were going to fall over! Probably best you ended it when you did. I like the 'Old Speckled Hen' but did you know the name is based on a car not a bird? The name was chosen to commemorate a paint splattered MG Saloon so now you know!. I usually buy Iceland quarter pounders which are good value I think but when I shop in Asda will pick up a box of the Smart Price burgers. They look good to me. Cheers Gareth 🍻

Cheers Steve yes I was bit drunk at the end. I had to bail early lol. Cheers 😋👍👍

Iceland have some thin (like McDonald's) burgers, I believe they are called grill burgers. 98% beef, might be worth doing a review on those.

Nice appraisal, buddy, accurate too. Try the four Asda pies for a quid, unbelievable value, in my humble opinion. Eating healthily is all about just eating during these economically challenging times, keep going, love your work. Best. GK

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Gordon thank you 😋👍👍

[@richwilliams9895]

If u want good burgers then make them yourself. Get beef mince, salt pepper, grate some fresh garlic, mix it up, pop in a burger press, fry burgers and some red onion, then just before burgers done add Stilton to the top and grill them until melted. Pop in lightly toasted buns and throw some salad and bits on job done. Pork burgers are always good to do needs fresh coriander in burger mix and swap strong cheese for mild like mozzarella or Brie

[@milesfb]

Thanks for the brilliant comparison whereby you've confirmed theres only a marginal difference between the two. And yes, once the cheaper burger is put in a bun then seasoned and garnished together with the other trimmings to make it into a gourmet burger then no one would ever know its a smart price burger. I always thought the smart price burgers were something like only 15% meat. So many thanks for informing us foodies that they are worth while particularly if on a budget. Cheers Gareth and see you on the next one. 👍.

Thanks for reviewing they looked just the same. Have you tried the asda hot and spicy chicken fillets 4 for £1.90, they substituted them in our shop for the southern fried ones, and we were all surprised how good they were. Cheaper than a takeaway when paired with the 59p brioche buns and some curly fries.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

I've not had them Amanda, sound great 😋😋

[@lennymaunton3183]

Smart price stuff is often produced in same factory as the asda on brand products, I used to work next door to a factory who made cereals for supermarkets and often it was very same stuff they used, few of the burgers in a bun with ketchup and extra onions sort my lunch out, each time I watch a video of yours I head for food lol great video mate. Look better now the fuzz has gone

[@harryskatt9451]

l work in the factory that makes these economy burgers they contain Offal, Kidney, heart, liver, cow brain and sometimes cow Testicles we are allowed by law not to show this as long as its not above 32.99% of beef content but sometimes it does go to 38%, which inspectors let us away with this .The more expensive ones do not use any of the offal just pure beef, we make big range of burgers.The only good thing about this job is that they pay me £10.75 per hour.

[@itzims5248]

Another thought here... How much would it cost per pound/kilo/grams for the beef? While I would always opt for the meatier option to avoid the high carb/junk fillers, I would also consider if it's cheaper to make my own from beef. For example, there is a super sale price here (New Jersey USA) for (80/20 meat/fat ratio) ground beef for $2.49/lb. That's 454 grams. I would make 4oz burgers here, but that would be 113 grams, so I'd get 4/lb of beef. Your beef patties are half that weight. So I could get 8 - 56gram all beef burgers for $2.49. They typically do not sell a lot of frozen beef patties here in winter, but the closest I could find would be a 2lb box for 12.99! Yikes! That's $6.50/lb! Lidl here are selling fresh 80/20 beef patties on sale for $4.49/lb and 80/20 ground beef is $3.99/lb on sale.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Great comment thank you for taking time to write this. New Jersey that is Sopranos country. I love that series what a great actor James was.

[@nintenalex]

In the north where im assuming he's from it costs around $6.40 for 2.2lb of 80/20 beef mince. We normally can buy 500g or 1kg packets from the supermarket or by weight from the butcher.

[@1angelofthelight2]

If you want to save money use this recipe: 1/2 lb mince, breadcrumbs from 1 slice of bread, seasonings i.e. salt, pepper, garlic granuals etc and an egg. Mix together and portion out to your own size. Very tasty and you know what's in it. You can add chopped onion or small pieces of cheese, bit of oxo - which all adds to the cost but really tastes brilliant.

Where I live there is no Asda, Tesco, Lidl or most of the supermarkets you have in the UK. We do have Aldi and Woolworths and a couple of other local supermarket chains. For this reason we do not have access to many of the brands that you test. We do however have local brands and their smart price equivalents, (also known as generic brands.) I must admit that many of the smart price brands offer good value for money, especially for those on a limited budget. I am a pensioner, and I am certainly not rich, so I have to shop wisely. I am certainly not too proud to put a few generic brand goods into my shopping trolley if it means saving a little money.

[@johndavis7944]

Who's this bloke... Anyone know him..🤔... O... it's you Gareth. Without the face fuzz.. Better, sharp look. Mate you are Spot On here with this review. I gather the greater weight loss for the ASDA burger maybe because of the extra added salt. It draws the moisture out of fatty meat while cooking. I recommend you try Pressure Cooking a few of these type of burgers. Wrap each one in aluminium foil, place on the lowest rack and pressure cook on HI for 8 -10 minutes, slow release for 5 minutes. This method keeps the moisture in, but not chared brown in colour. Give it a go, it works. Another great review today Gareth. Cheers mate 👍🤤😀🇦🇺

[@johndavis7944]

I've had a look at what's sold here in Oz and ours are very similar to yours in this review. Coles and Woolies own brand are pretty much the same, Aldi's are less in overall weight and the I&J Big Beefer is quite a weighty patty. Prices vary per kilo, Coles and Woolies have 10 patties per package with Aldi it's only 8 per package. So I've made a special menu and I'm going to cook some up using 3 of the ninja's functions, grill, air fry and pressure cook. All will be cheeseburgers, onion ring, pickle, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard and a New York style of Hotdog sauce 👍🤤😀 Have you watched the KZbin "Ballistic Burgers" channel? This guy makes/replicates some of the best burgers been and gone, here and now. Great inspiration if you're looking to make a top notch burger. Cheers mate.

It's not often I go "up market," but I've been buying ALDI Angus Beef Burgers. Around £2.49 for four, if memory serves. They're lovely and meaty! Also, they don't contain Onions, like cheap burgers. I hate Onions!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Clive 😋👍👍

[@yorkshiretea7620]

I tried those burgers recently and they are the best shop bought ones I’ve ever had

[@Canalcoholic]

Agreed, I have tried many Angus quarter-pounders and others in a similar price range, and definitely prefer Aldi’s.

[@a1smith]

I prefer the Lidl ones.

[@sparkymarky9883]

[@keithgibbings4048]

I love these videos, keep up the good work, to be fair I've not tried these burgers and probably won't, the look puts me off, they look like something you see on grass after a dog has been there.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha cheers

Once again, my kind of review Gareth, anything to save money without a complete compromise on quality. When I was watching the video, I was thinking . . . and then you said it! If the cheaper burger in a roll with lettuce, tomato, onion, etc, and sauce; would anyone know the difference? Great savings too, or two for the price of one? A positive, unbiased review pal. Brilliant!!!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers John, very kind of you to say. The cheaper ones are great just a little salt maybe throw some burger seasoning over it. Live was great Friday night. All the best 😋🍔👍👍

My good lady thought I was going to do a bugger off. She looked pleased. 😁😁

[@StevenHuntington]

The Smart Price burgers are lovely done on a barbecue, I definitely prefer the Smart Price burgers over the Smart Price sausages.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good call!

[@brianterry8317]

I got some Morrisons,Asda or possibly Sainsbury's cheapo burgers for our beast of a dog. He absolutely loves them and I tried a bit of the Burgers. I was surprised that they weren't too bad at all The dog agreed as well What does Harry Munck reckon about the Burgers I was pissed last night as much as the Canadian logger on Friday

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha yes

40yrs ago my dad ran a club in the neighboring town, i'd visit him on a saturday morning and he'd send me for lunch 'up town'. i'd get burgers, onions and chips £1.25 (2 cheap burgers (no buns), fried onions and homemade chips), i must have been 11 years old.....felt like a millionaire. simpler times eh?.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yummy cheers for that mate.

[@Marty-Mc]

They didn't look too bad Gaz, suprised with the amount of shrinkage though, def not worth the extra money for asda's own, anyway, good review again, Barrows result yesterday must be gutting 😥

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers yes I'm learning that as I go along. Getting there thank you 👍👍

[@Dazzzzzzzzzzzzz]

The smart ones are nice chopped up in a pasta dish. Cheap meal for under a pound.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Daz yes they are ok

No worries Darren, get well pal

[@davidmowbray6352]

I allways check the beef percentage, then figure out how much im paying per kilo of actual beef not filler. Most of the time your better of buying mince sometimes even cheaper just to mince a steak up.
