Food prices continues to rise – but all of us have favourite brands that we can’t bear to give up. From a food journalist who’s constantly taste testing, here are eight supermarket dupes that taste as good as the branded original – or better.
Try £1 M&S ketchup instead of Heinz
We might think of M&S as an expensive place to shop for food, but there are some real bargains to be had among its everyday products. The 498g bottle of ketchup costs just a quid, for example, and tastes really good. The 460g Heinz version costs around £3. Many cheaper ketchups are disappointingly thin or unbearably sweet but this M&S condiment tastes of real tomatoes with a satisfying tang. There’s so much hype about Heinz but the M&S dupe also contains far more tomatoes: 307g per 100g ketchup, compared to 148g in the Heinz ketchup.
The M&S Ketchup is less than a third of the price of Heinz
