You will find beans in most people's cupboards as they're a British staple.

And if you want to make your toast even more fun, you can't beat some beans which have tasty little sausages in them too.

The meal is often a food favourite amongst kids – but with Heinz prices going through the roof, families have been looking for alternatives to the big brand.

There's one in particular that's been getting rave reviews, according to Manchester Evening News, and that's Sainsbury's.

With that in mind, reporter Emma Gill decided to give the retailer's own brand a go.

Talking about the supermarket beans, she said: "The biggest selling point is that they're 52p a tin, a quarter of the price of Heinz which are generally selling for £2 a pop.

"Apart from the colour of the tin, they look pretty similar on the outside, with almost identical lettering – all part of the marketing ploy no doubt.

"But what about the inside?"

Emma said the sauce with the Heinz ones was "lighter and thinner in consistency".

She added: "Some shoppers have suggested the Heinz recipe has changed recently, with the juice more watery, but the company insists that's not the case and says it remains 'committed to giving our consumers great tasting and nutritious products without compromising on the quality they know and trust'."

When it came to the sausages, Emma said they looked "different" too.

"With Heinz you get a slimmer, smoother sausage, like a miniature version of a typical hot dog," she said.

"But with Sainsbury's they're stumpier and with wrinkly skin. And while that might not sound appealing they're pretty tasty.

"Having spent too many years living off a certain budget brand of beans and sausages while at university, as a 'proper grown up' I've always bought Heinz – and when my kids came along they got Heinz too.

"It was never really an issue, but then prices were nothing like they are now."

Emma says the 'problem she has now' is that her kids her so used to Heinz that they're 'reluctant to try another' and 'know if she's trying to give them a rio-off version'.

The writer said she actually prefers the Sainsbury's beans however to Heinz "on texture and flavour as well as my bank balance."

She concluded: "I'm angry at myself for not trying an alternative to Heinz earlier, when they were at the age they'd neither notice nor care.

"A parenting fail that's now hitting me in the pocket."
