If you are on a tight budget: 2 x cans of Heinz beans with sausages = £3.40 versus nearly 9 cans of the Stockwell beans with sausages... That is a Hell of a difference and saving ! Plus canned goods store for years, so no hurry to use up. Stock up the larder before prices increase again.

A story about brands: When I was at college I got to know some lads who were also at college, doing textiles technology block release courses. One of them worked for a factory in Leicester that made polo shirts. They made them for George at Asda, Marks and Spencer, Sergio Tacchini and Ralph Loren. They were the same shirts. Only the logos were different.

Apart from heinz, princess foods makes all the supermarket sausage and beans, also princess owns branston

[@xRepoUKx]

Many years ago there was a recall on uncooked chicken breasts. The only ones affected were an Asda budget line and a Tesco premium line. Basically, Tesco were charging much more for virtually the same thing. I guess the Asda one could have had more added water, but hardly enough to warrant the price difference, and the quality of the chicken would have been the same.

[@mr.145]

Doing the ironing will tell what quality a polo shirt is.Ralph Lauren,Lacoste etc iron much easier than a supermarket,or Primark one.

[@k_a_t599]

Same here. I worked in a clothing factory. All products were made 100% identical, until the labels went on... which were Tesco and other supermarkets, along with M&S. The end price point difference to the customer was massive, yet they were all the same 😊 (My machine stitched the crotches on jeans 😄) It's this way across the board, though foods made in the same processing plants for different stores often have very slight tweaks which are usually just ingredient percentage changes (like with the meat content or salt / sugar in these sossies) 😊

@@tardeliesmagic They just lowered the sugar and tomato content in the sauce, and the pork content of the sausages. To maximise profits. This is what happens in business. They'd bulk out their sausages and beans with arsenic or something if it were cheaper for them and legal, or helped preserve their products longer for mass storage and distribution.

[@Essydyk]

I feel Heinz are pretty much living off their name nowadays. Branston for me actually produce the better products whereas Heinz quality has clearly dropped over the years. This comparison is a great example as those sausages look identical to the other 2 cheap ones - certainly not worth the premium price.

[@supertramp6011]

Another thing to remember is that if you buy the cheap ones, you can always jazz them up a bit with a little salt, pepper mustard, brown sauce, maybe even a little bisto or marmite, whatever you have in the cupboard really. Cheese, or a sprinkle of extra sugar, and they’re still way cheaper than overpriced Heinz. Lots of ways to eat cheaply if you have to, just use a little imagination! Fried bread with sausage and beans is a tasty, simple dinner that anyone can do for pennies. Sad how many folks are having to struggle to put food on the table these days. If you’re really struggling, buy a big sack of rice or pasta, it fills you up for cheap, and gives you energy too. Add any cheap discount veggies, or ‘out of date’ tins of meat or fish. Sell by dates are way safer than they need to be, food stored properly in tins will last for years. Stay safe and eat well folks!

[@jacquelinesherlock2274]

If you think about it, the fact the Branstons is claggier than the other three gives you your answer as to why they're sweeter. The sauce has been boiled longer and has reduced and thickened, which has intensified the flavour 🙂.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

yes good point

Also the greater weight of the Heinz is accounted for by the extra water, so no real gain

I've only eaten Branston baked beans for years, and a few months ago I tried their baked beans with pork sausages. Very nice. What I do is a bit of a faff, but it gives me two meals from one can.

This bowl I keep in the fridge for up to two days, covered with cling film. After your review I'm going to try Stockwells to see if I can tell much of a difference.

A sausage is a type of meat product usually made from ground meat-often pork, beef, or poultry-along with salt, spices and other flavourings. Other ingredients, such as grains or breadcrumbs may be included as fillers or extenders. What you should be saying is " A sausage shaped product " for vegetarians.

Watching your video and judging purely on your images I find that I am more attracted to the second to which you described as “claggy”. To me that tin was visually more appealing with the colour of the sausage and the consistency of the sauce. All the other tin’s looked insipid and like the cheapest available mechanically recovered meat was used to form the “meat “ tubes or sausages. If I were looking to make my own version I would choose to use some locally sourced sausage with a tin of multiple varieties of beans, with the addition of some pre- fried lardons of smoked bacon.

People think eating in the UK is expensive when its really not. We live in a country that relative to the amount we earn each year, food is absurdly cheap compared to the rest of Europe. The idea that you can feed 10 people for under four pounds (even if its not a great meal) is literally insane by other countries standards. Some people don’t realise how lucky we actually are here. Not even a necessarily that unhealthy meal either. If it was mixed beans, it’d be a pretty much complete meal nutritionally.

Action Mike is full of it! There's no right or wrong, just depends where you want the sharp edges. If you do it his way, the lid itself ends up with a smooth edge and the top of the can ends up sharp. If you do it your way (they way manufacturers intended) the lid itself ends up with a sharp edge, and the top of the can ends up with a smooth rolled edge. Personally I do it the proper way because it also preserves the integrity of the can.

Can openers are generally designed for side opening, so you're doing it right. There's a "lip" designed to go over the top, which is pushing the opener up if you try to open from the top. My (quite old) electric opener would empty the food all over the worktop if I tried to open the can as Mike suggests. I like Stockwell, not because they are cheap. I think it's the can. Shows the design of the logo is important. Same with Branston, but they are too expensive for everyday, and just for me, tbh. Never tried them side by side, like this, though, which is where your videos are so useful and informative. You're dead right about the cheaper brands and own brands. Often I find them better quality. I think the big brands cut back on quality, own brands don't.

Problem with Morrisons is the prices. I've looked at the items you mentioned but the prices are ridiculous, it's just a posh sandwich at the end of the day. I can eat decent meals for two days for less than the price of one of those baguettes. OK it's personal choice but if you're watching the pennies it's like comparing Fortnum & Mason with Aldi. Morrisons has become very expensive and you only need to look at footfall to see how it's affecting them.

[@alphapix5719]

Great comparison. I love the Corale Baked beans and sausages from Aldi, about 40p per tin. You might want to compare these in the future. 🙂

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks kindly

[@glenjarnold]

The Aldi (Corale) baked beans are excellent - pretty close to the Branston ones IMO.

[@egbront1506]

@@glenjarnold They are basically the same as Heinz, really. The Branston sauce is much thicker.

[@glenjarnold]

@@egbront1506 I find them more tasty than the Heinz ones, the Heinz ones seem to have no taste compared to how they used to.

[@littleannie390]

Speaking as someone with coeliac disease I always buy the Heinz as they are the only ones I can eat. They have gone up a lot but I only ever buy when they are on offer and then I stock up. You used to be able to get good offers on the smaller cans but not so much recently.

[@malcbury9739]

Another valuable comparison vlog to help those on a budget and to open the eyes of the brand fanatics! BTW, loved your comment about washing the cans out and recycling! One of my oppos asked why the hell I washed my recycling. Said I didn't want a dirty smelly wheelie bin (unlike most, if not all, of my neighbours!). Guess it might be down to us being ex services and the way we do things (Gonna do a job, do it proper! lol) Keep up the good work 👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leepage4854]

Another great spot on comparison. Personally really didn't notice any real significant taste difference between the Heinz and the Stockwell brand.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@geordieboy8945]

Branston every time for me, the sausages are close to what Heinz's used to be in my memory and the beans are nice and 'claggy'. [I still add extra ketchup too].😀

[@dav147]

Love these comparisons, keep them coming Gareth.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

[@markchawner1586]

Yes, Gareth ..... We are in agreement, Branston are the best. Their tins are full, and not with juice either. They have hit Heinz hard on sales in the UK. The Value tins are always ok if you add a dash of Tomato Sauce. Great video, as always. Thank you ! 👏😉🎃

I've tried all of those but my favourite are Sainsburys own brand which are 95p. Not watery and the sausages are like the Branston ones. Really nice consistency and flavour.

4 Stockwell tins with change over the Heinz’s…… 👍I’m off to Tescos.

[@MrJudgementday99]

For me I have tried 3 of these and the Brandon is a clear winner

[@OblivionGate]

The Heinz, Asda and Stockwell are what I would consider to be Hot Dog type sausages only smaller, whereas the Branston sausages are like a proper butchers sausage, you can tell by the crinkles on the outside and the texture of the meat itself. Branston Baked Beans are far superior to Heinz, more beans, thicker, richer,more savoury tomato sauce and with the sausages I think Branston wins against Heinz as well, but when you can get 4 cans of Asda and Stockwell compared to Heinz and 3 cans compared to Branston in this day and age you'd be stupid not to go for the cheapest option.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks

[@keithparker1346]

I rarely go for the lowest priced as beans tend to be just sloppy, not very nice tasting...a false economy. I was genuinely surprised that M &S do decent tasting good value beans...certainly avoid Heinz for this stuff

[@doubledaclutchmcphee]

A tip from me is add Worcester sauce for a kick ideal snack on toast . Great vid Branston all the way .

[@gordo2.097]

I do the same but with Curry powder,BBQ sauce, and Chilli sauce (not all at the same time) makes a change from the normal sauce. Lidl used to do a really fruity flavoured baked bean sauce with their bean it was to die for I was gutted when they changed them.

[@undergroundbass946fm]

Look for Mushroom Ketchup (nothing like tomato ketchup, it has a Worcester sauce consistency and a really deep umami flavour - tastes nothing like mushrooms!

[@clairep-t5598]

Just finished off a brand called Newgate beans & sausage (pork 62%). Yum yum

[@bizbizley]

Jack’s stuff (part of the Tesco family it says) is sort of midrange at price point but fabulous quality. Of course everything is subjective but I haven’t tried anything of theirs that isn’t delicious. Their beans and sausages would come out like real sausage in a tin of beans, I suppose the Branston would be nearest. The Sausages in the others are more like frankfurters in my opinion. Just a thought. Keep on doing what you do Gareth, working class food for people on a budget. 👏👏

[@Nick-01536]

I buy the Tesco/Stockwell brand and the same with ordinary baked beans.....both taste fine to me 👍👍👍

[@wesleysmith9997]

Just been to Aldi for beans and sausages and guess what, the prices of these have risen also to .44p a tin so now dearer than Tesco and Asda essentials at .42p a tin. But price was incorrect as like most things in Aldi so got 2 tins of beans and sausages for the original price of 40p each. Even at 44p they are still way way cheaper than the big brands you tested. Great videos as always.

Thank you for doing these. I found out about the Just Essentials range because of you a little while ago when it was a bit newer still. I also open my cans sideways. Topways it just skids around and doesn't grip and cut properly, same as happened to you with these! 😅

Here's a little tip........if you buy cheap beans and they don't look very good,, add knob of butter while cooking. . It transforms the sauce, makes them more like Heniz. Great video, i only buy heniz after this i will give the cheaper ones a go...

Your are opening the tins correctly for that can opener. You can get one that opens it the other way but the cutting blade is aligned on a different angle.

A real eye opener. Presumably Tesco isn't making a loss selling Stockwell products like this, so how on earth does Heinz justify (in this case) being over FOUR times the price?

[@Benzo97]

Definitely a "guilty pleasure" of mine! Speaking of guilty pleasures, tried the "old recipe" Frey Bentos beef & onion and I guess I was more lucky than you were as I noticed a lot more beef in mine, nothing spectacular or anything but I at least had some on the fork with every bite till the end this time compared to only having a couple pieces every couple fork fulls. So I'd say there's definitely a difference but will definitely still vary. Perhaps just me but there was much less soggy bits in the pastry on my end as well. (Probably wildly varies as well) although like you I quite like the soggy bits anyway although still prefer most of it being crispy. Bit off Topic: as a lefty I actually play a lot of games better with my right hand like bowling and pool 😂 Guess you're more likely to use both hands when growing up being a lefty as most things are made for right handers in mind. Try it... You might be surprised haha

I can't fault Stockwell foods. I'd quite happily buy their beans. I especially like the stockwell ketchup. It doesn't have the thick consistency like heinz but I like the taste better, reminds me more like the hotdog ketchup you get at food markets or fairgrounds. Can't say the same for brown sauce though, nothing compares to HP.

[@retrogeezer]

Try Tesco's own fruity brown sauce, they don't always have it but it's great..

[@Darth_Chicken]

We always buy all sorts of Stockwell foods & sauces. They are always superb and dirt cheap.

[@chelamcguire]

That's got to be one of your funnier videos and I so enjoyed it! I have yet to try either of the 'cheap' brand Beans and Sausages but I'm off to Teso and will give the Stockwell ones a try out. I like the Stockwell brands, especially their vegetable soup. Just an aside: I like to cook my beans in the microwave an I pop a slice of cheese (the kind that most use on top of burgers) for the last minute. Makes the beans taste extra yummy. Hope you slept with the window open that night!
