There's nothing like a good old tin of spaghetti hoops on a nice piece of buttery toast for a quick and easy tea but now, it almost costs £1 per tin.
For those who go for brands like Heinz, a 400g tin costs around 85p, which is considerably more expensive than it used to be, like many other staple food items. As part of our cost of living series, we're testing out 'value' products from different supermarkets to see if they're really that different to big branded products.
We've already tried mayonnaise, teabags, coffee, beans and cheese to name a few, and now it's time to try out a tin we've always got in the back of our cupboards. As consumers we are often drawn to 'extra special' branding, spending more money for items that may taste exactly the same as a budget version.

It poses the question - is it really worth it? Are 'value' brands just as tasty as the more expensive brands? This week, we purchased 'value' spaghetti hoops from Sainsbury's, Co-op and Asda to see if there was any difference at all in terms of value and taste.
