Last week I posted on here about my bean shortage and the letter I received from Heinz in response to my politely worded email pointing out their short-changing a nation of bean lovers on a regular basis. I apologise to any of you who are now obsessively weighing the contents of all your cans to see if you too are being short-changed ... and reading some of your blogs it would appear that you are!!
In response to my 'complaint' ... I was polite, honest I was ... they sent me six pounds worth of vouchers to spend on Heinz/Kraft products. It didn't take me much looking around at the range of their items in the shops that I have access to, to realise that the best use of the vouchers would actually be on baked beans.
And then when I spotted them this morning as we passed the end of the aisles to go upstairs to the café in Booths for a coffee after my hospital appointment, and they were just £3.50 for four cans ... just I say, that is a lot of money when I am used to buying 28p tins of beans from Aldi !! I decided over my coffee that I would buy two four packs with my vouchers.

Now as I am living on WWII rations at the moment and beans have to be purchased on the Points system these are going to last me a long time ... possibly into January. 😄
One pound spent = beans for months.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on the last post. 💖

This gave me another good giggle, when I saw the title :) I'll never look at beans the same :)
ReplyDeleteHaha ... I've really started something haven't I. ;-)
DeleteI wonder if they've been bombarded with emails and had to send out loads of vouchers, as a result of Sue's Army weighing their beans too! Wouldn't that be funny!
ReplyDeleteHaha ... I wouldn't be surprised. I've had so may people telling me that they are weighing all their tins of food, and virtually ALL being short-changed. It's a huge scam if you ask me.
DeleteYou might weigh another tin and find a similar reduction , complain and get another voucher. You'd have beanz for life! Lesley
ReplyDeleteHaha ... that would just be too cheeky. I am happy with my voucher it makes up for me being short-changed. :-)
DeleteYou will have to weigh the contents of one of the newer cans of beans to see if they actually weigh what they are supposed to weigh!
ReplyDeleteI think I might have to, but I doubt anything will have changed. :-(
DeleteI've just ordered a set of digital scales so I can weigh our baked beans:) I buy Heinz beans here and on the can it always has to be "The One for All - English Recipe"♥
ReplyDeleteOh gosh ... I've cost you money!! You definintely need to email and complain if you find you are short on beans, you deserve a voucher to cover the cost of the scales.
DeleteGreat buy on the beans for sure.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It made sense to get the beans, all other Heinz/Kraft products seemed to be so expensive for the amount you got in the pack.
DeleteIt's definitely worth complaining if something is wrong. I recently ordered 3 boxes of wet dog food trays, 36 trays altogether.
ReplyDelete2 trays were leaking in the box and definitely off. Sent a photo and email and they are giving me £5 refund. Don't usually complain if one is split but I will in future. Sally from Devon
Definitely, companies can only do something about a mistake if we let them know they have made one. I doubt if Heinz will suddenly put more beans in the tins though. Good for you with your complaint.
DeleteResult! And, yep, I'm now weighing my beans too ! My tin of Sainsburys beans actually weighed a tad more but there was an awful lot of sauce .......
ReplyDeleteOooh ... you are the first person to have more. Typical that it was sauce though and not beans!!
