You’re really going all out on this one, I’m excited to find out the results! Can’t believe you jus ate it by the spoonful tho, thought you’d knock up sum chips! Hope it hasn’t made you feel sick!! 🙈 Appreciate your sacrifice for the good of your red-sauce-loving audience!!!

These are my favourite kind of reviews, thanks Gareth! Btw, the Bramwells definitely has a bit of paprika in it and maybe a tiny bit of turmeric and cumin. It really balances the acidity.

I like the Pudliszki Mild Tomato Ketchup 480g £1.15 (24.0p/100g) from asda polish food selection. It has just a touch of chilli which really brings out all the flavours i like in ketchup. I'll also throw in Winiary Mayonnaise Majonez 400ml £1.60 (40.0p/100ml) as my preffered mayo, it has flavour like the polish/german/dutch mayo which i like and mixed with the Pudliszki Mild Tomato Ketchup makes a great burger sauce base. Take care, God bless one and all.

I would love to see your wife’s face when she opens the fridge door and the entire thing is varieties of ketchup! Love your comparison videos.

you shaking that bottle off screen at the end has amazing meme potential lmao

Goldstar Tomato Sauce and Brown Sauce...amazing!

I used to be a brand snob until a few years ago and would always go for Heinz but since trying Tescos Stockwell I've switched because the difference is minimal and for the price it wins hands down, I can buy nearly 5x Stockwell for the price of 1x Heinz and I can't tell the difference unless they are side by side.

I like the Bramwells. Never noticed the spiciness before so will look out for that now. Great content as always. Will try to catch the live stream Fri. Take care. Love from Liverpool

Maggi tomato sauce is nice if you can find it very rich how Hienz used to be, in a glass bottle.

Love the Stockwell,s from Tesco, lidl used to do a great tomato sauce in a red bottle

I always get Aldi red sauce, i think its better than heinz imo.

Hi Gareth another great saucey challenge I think it all depends on personal taste and of course pennies we like aldi bramwells brown for dave and red for me, there bramwells pickle is tasty too both Branston and piccalilli and tartar sauce and they are not really expensive,

Hi Gareth ... It is a pity that you don't have Lidl near you ... Their 'Batts' tomato sauce is delicious ... My favourite by a long way ...

Love your channel, so relaxing to watch after a long day in the office. Your warmth and happiness is great. 47 year old fan here, hi from Erith in Kent. "This is, that" a good catch phrase

What I like doing is opening up the lid and putting a small spoon full of baking soda inside the Ketchup then shaking it up and closing the lid for 2 minutes. Give it a try makes the flavour so much better.

I love my ketchup with a cheap and cheerful vinegar taste so it's the ASDA Smartprice one for me! I also buy the Aldi one for a change and both last ages 👍👍 Can't be doing with posh sauces. Just give me bog standard ketchup! Also the Asda Smartprice Ketchup is Vegan friendly too 👍 Next up do the Brown sauce taste test Gareth? In terms of value.. the Aldi one is cheapest on that list because you get 650g. So with the cost of living crisis that's the best sauce to get on a budget.

Love these videos great help. I got a lot to watch haha

Love these kinds of reveiws Gareth. Nice one 👍

You’ve sparked some nostalgia with that daddies sauce! I remember it as brown sauce tho, which I haven’t had in ages but might have a look for sum next time I’m at the shops! Remind me of the good old days haha

Very interesting thanks so much for sharing ❤️

Must say my latest 'find' and for the time being my go-to tom sauce and the bbq and brown- is from the De Luxe range from Lidl - I think it was 89p or 99p for a 280g bottle - similar in appearance to your posh brand on display. Tremendous tomato FLAVOUR. Consistency has a very slightly 'grainy' texture as though the puree has been pressed through a sieve - leaving the max amount of the tomato fruit IN the mixture. I can imagine it being made from an Italian Granny's kitchen. We also like Heinz, Daddies, Co-Op and I used to get the Adsa standard version. The rest are like coloured vinegar!

Hi Gareth. I love this vid! My fave ketchups are Co-op and Sainsburys own brands, glad you found yours. May I suggest for the future, brown sauce, mayo. and salad cream comparisons. Thanks for going this. 😋

Great review Gareth! I love the Morrisons Tomato ketchup at £2.50 😃 will miss your live Friday as I’m working but I hope you all have a great night.

Cheers Gareth great review mate, We have the Bramwells at home usually, Seems to be nice whatever it goes with.you commented on the spice in it , That’s funny because I know a lot of Indian takeaways use tomato sauce as an ingredient to make chicken tikka masala. The one you mentioned when you was a kid reminds me of those yellow hot dog vans years ago after the pub , Hot dog or Burger with cheese , Fried onions, and those big tomato sauce bottles, just like the sauce you had . Ps I don’t think you will need to buy any sauce for a while lol 🍅🍅🍅see you on the next one ☝️👍👍🍻🍻🍻👍👍🍻

I can also recommend the cheap M&S tommy sauce! Heinz did used to do a "posh" sauce, but sadly was discontinued around 2008. I remember when I worked at ASDA HQ, it was reduced to 50p in store, so I did stock up. I will be giving the Co-op and the Sauce Shop a try too! Thanks for this Gareth, best wishes from Yorkshire!!

Personally I think that Bramwells is the best for tomato sauce, but they haven't been stocking it in my local Aldi's recently and they're not selling it online either. I'm starting to think they may have discontinued it. Hope not though.

My favorite is Tesco Stockwell tomato sauce. It`s very cheap, but has a great taste. It`s like the ketchup you get at the fair ground burger van, or the old style golden egg , greasy spoon. Has a higher vinegar taste.

That’s the correct way to do a taste comparison test good honest review on the tomato sauces very entertaining and informative

because we both from Cumbria we can't try waitrose but I never knew to you done this video that daddies make tomato sauce I got their brown sauce which I've eaten since I was a kid so keep up the good work and thanks for information cheers mate

I rarely eat tomato sauce it makes me sweat for some reason obvs an allergy, but I have lids made by batts that tastes ok . Good video as always good prepping you'll need no sauce for a while mate lol

Bramwells ketchup is good, but their mayo is excellent - easily as good as Hellman's. Hoping you do a test of those too. I didn't like Asda's own mayo at all.

I like Rubies In The Rubble ketchup. It's about £2 for small 300g bottle but I don't use it often so may aswell use quality. Its made using pears instead of sugar. So more healthier. Morrisons stock it.

Vinegary I can't stand! The brands we usually have are Lidl & Tesco. Heinz is a brand I avoid regardless of the product, they are massively overpriced (in my opinion) but, as you say, it depends on the individual's taste and perhaps on their ability not to worry how much things cost! Good video.

I grew up on Heinz tomato ketchup, but having watched the "Eat well for less" programmes on the BBC I gave the Sainsbury's equivalent a go to see how it compared. I was pleasantly surprised considering it costs considerably less than the Heinz, so now I only buy the Sainsbury's. I've tried their own label brown sauce and salad cream too and now buy those exclusively.

Got to try the Daddies!! I used to love that cheap fairground ketchup....do you remember the boiled burgers? 😀

Interesting. Il give the coop one ago. Thanks

So many out there Garath to choose from. Really surprised on your vid outcome just goes to show how useful the channel is great I stokes Spot on ! Lynda x

That's a lot of ketchup, Gaz! The Sauce Shop is £1.75 in Sainsbury's, £2.00 in the Co-Op and (as you said) £2.50 in Morrisons. I used to only buy Daddies, but found it changed when they started making it abroad. I always found Heinz to be too gloopy. The fact the Co-Op brand has clove in it would put me off. Biona organic is the one I'm using at the moment, only because I picked it up cheap in Poundstretcher. I would buy it again if on offer.

Hi Gareth. Thanks for another informative review. Plenty of ketchup for your chips now mate. Lol. Going by price, size of bottle and taste and of course your facial reaction, I'd say the Aldi one is the best value. I've been buying the Bramwell one for a while now and it's great. . Keep up the spot on work, see you Friday. Best wishes from Scotland.

spot on review, i love the coop one. keep up the good work mate, you doing great. any chance you could do a review on frozen roast potatoes and cook them in the air fryer

great review gareth, i love tomato sauce and i think heinz is the best followed by tesco homebrand, but it also depends on your budget and what u are used too 😀 love from cornwall

Hi Gareth, as always yet another brilliant vid, as several times recently, you have shown that expensive is not always best, will be trying the branwells in the next couple of days on your recommendation, as i have just done with the cheapo beans and sausage that frankly, tasted no different to the Newgate in LIDL, and no different to Heinz 👍👍👍👍

Hi Gareth. Here in Thailand we use ROSA Tomato ketchup. That comes in kilo bags from many shops@ less than a UK£1. We refill our Bramwells bottle, the same as our Salad cream and use it on burgers, sausage,hot dogs, pizza and chips. More good wishes to you, we tried Tesco and NO ONE RATED IT. It was thrown out. All the best Don, Phannee and the boys

Wow.

Love these comparisons. Anyone remember the Goodies bun fight at the Ok tea rooms 😁

A ketchup marathon if I ever saw one. Pucker up! Great video.

My favourite is Mr. Organic from Waitrose. And, Waitrose Essentials reduced salt and sugar is OK as well, and it's also a very cheap. In my opinion, if you don't want the best, but you want still a nice taste on budget, don't look further.

Excellent review Gareth. I am not to keen on brown sauce, but perhaps you could do them next. 👍

Another great video Gareth 👍🏻 Need to be careful shaking the bottles with your hand out of shot though 😆

Gareth obviously everyone loves Heinz especially my other half. She was brought up with a silver spoon 😂 your videos are slowly working in her. Keep it going. What makes me laugh when we are abroad the other half will eat anything especially if it’s of sunbathing temperatures

heinz went right down hill when they started reducing the sugar and salt. Lidl bang on.

Great video as always Gareth. For me it's got to be the Aldi / bramwells. { although I must admit, I haven't tried a lot on your list, including the most expensive } all I know is the Aldi is awesome when it comes to cutting slightly burnt Asda extra special pork sausage up and dipping the pieces into the sauce, and then scooping up a bit of mashed potatoe and a tiny bit of Apple sauce { made with Bramley apples Yum Yum). When it comes to brown sauce it's always always always got to be daddies. Only problem is I don't seem to be able to source any at the moment. No pun intended of - sauce, I mean of - course 😂. See what I did there? 😂

Fantastic review 🙌 I’ve tried so many, but always come back to Heinz. It’s a very personal choice, none are wrong. All down to individual choice.

You should mix some together see if you can make a nice blend by mixing a bit off the dearer ones with cheaper ones ..cheers

Lol Gareth, I thought you’d be dipping in a chip to taste ? Well done 👍 after realising the price of Heinz’s these days I’m ok with co op

Aldi puts Dill in the ketchup - which is a continental trick. Personal opinion Aldi/Lidl/Coop are all good. Heinz is ok, as is one you didn't test Hellmans - the rest you can keep because they are either silly price or not particularly nice. Taking into account the price I'd take the Aldi.

The sauce shop one is one of my faves. Also try the Rubies in the Rubble ketchup if you haven’t already. It’s available in Morrison’s 🍅

There sure are a lot of brands out there. Most taste roughly the same but some stand out a bit more from the crowd. I have Daddies in the cupboard and I wondered if you would comment on the vinegary flavour. You did, so I know it wasn't just me. Going by the brands you've just tasted I would probably go for the Co-op. It's not too big a bottle and is reasonably priced. Anyway, that was entertaining. Nice one Gareth 👍

The cheapest one in any of the supermarkets is what I buy as it is silly paying several times more. I would've felt a bit sick trying all those.

This is such a brilliant review 👏I would ask you to try polish Red sauce that's the one we have turned to now it's lovely and really thick 😊 I would ask you to try it Gaz but I think you have enough to go at now for quite a while 😂

Personal preference at the end of t’day, I am by no means a big brand snob but do always seem to come back to Heinz red and HP brown.

Was the spice cumin and maybe celery salt! I use Heinz I have very sharp tastebuds and this makes me fussy. Also it’s sweetness helps in a lot of recipes I put it in cottage pie as well as brown sauce and a dash of Worcester Sauce and it comes out a treat!

The Essentials Waitrose would surprise you, only 80p but tastes just like Heinz, not vinegary like the cheap stuff.

Cor, what a marathon! I only buy Aldi Bramwells. If not available, then Tesco Stockwells. Today Aldi had more gaps on the shelves. No squeezy mayonnaise, just jars. I was actually looking for the garlic mayonnaise you like. They didn't have it. Also no sunflower or rapeseed oil, only olive oil.

I find it's an eternal quest finding the best ketchup! I did always buy Co Op at one stage but my local Co Op closed. I bought Bramwell's last week. Not bad but a bit thin. My main criticism is that most ketchups are too sweet and not tangy enough for me. The sweetest I ever tasted was Tiptree's. Tiptree are known for their jam and that's what it was like! Tomato jam!! So sweet even my niece (who was 3 at the time) didn't like it! My favourite ever was Branston's which used to be sold in Poundstretcher but I haven't seen for years. I'd be interested to hear if anyone's seen Branston's recently.

Wowzers!! Kx

A few weeks ago lidls had reduced they're deluxe ketchup to 53p it's not bad. I don't eat a lot of ketchup, so the smaller bottle is ok for me

'Pudliszki' ketchup is worth having a try, several of the supermarkets are now stocking it. Less 'sugary' than the others, with a celery/spicy/tang, depending on which one you buy. Different form ordinary red-stuff, it has more flavour.

All the Batts sauces are very good. Waitrose essential is 99p and very good indeed.

I love the Coop ketchup best. You should have had a plate of chips to test the ketchup. All the noms. 😋

i have tried the Aldi Bramwells, its great and its now kicked the Heinz out, so thanks for that :)

Nice review I use heinz and coop Enjoyed watching as alway

Thanks for the vid.....you chose a tough one !! Tomato Ketchup needs GOOD tomatoes. Having done some research...the growers use sneeky ways of making tomatoes look ripe. Pick them early (green). Spray them with the gas given off by the vine to "ripen". The tomatoes look lovely and red but are far from ripe. My point here is do the buyers for the Ketchup "makers" know this or choose to ignore it? Sugar is a big issue. Basil does make tomatoes taste loads better and is cheap. Hope this helps.

Co-Op is my nearest shop so I've had their sauce numerous times. It always goes everywhere, everytime you use it. Great vid as always 👍

Helmanns is my No. 1 tomato sauce! It has more tomato at 168gms per 100gms used for the sauce than any other!

Got to admit I was a stickler for Heinz for a long time, trying to find offers as it is always pricier, but eventually resorted to Aldi's own brand which isn't far off taste-wise (at least the kids don't care and cheaper!) - I used to think non-Heinz tasted really sour like the nasty stuff that caterers have, but it seems the budget brands have caught up...

Heinz will always be the best. Red sauce and beans, the two things they are the best at and always will be.

I love your comparison videos, please do a video for soups as my wife recently tricked me into eating Aldi’s tomato soup and I honestly thought it was my favourite brand Heinz. We are now switching. Would love to know your opinion on soups. Dean

We don't get Stockwell brand in Tesco here ( Burnham on Sea. ). Now switched to Aldi since they closed their fish counter. Cheaper and better. Taken me 10 yeas to get my Mrs to change her view on Tesco. There no looking back now were on the Dark side ! :-)

Interesting and informative video Gareth, as usual. Heinz for me every time. Not sure if you realise what the connotation of exclaiming "We have a squirter!" is. Google it, but it's very saucy 🤣

My favorite tomato sauce is Sainsbury's tomato ketchup sauce it's packed full of tomato flavour, not vinegary at all. I won't buy any other I always buy the 680g at £1.10 it's worth the price or a 460g at 90p. I used to get Tesco tomato sauce 555g at £1 it's a lot nicer than Heinz but Sainsbury's is a winner.

Yes, these days you have to look at saving money anywhere you can. But To be honest, there are certain things you can't skrimp on. Such as Nescafe Coffee, Heinz Ketchup, Hellmans Mayo and Lurpack These are my go to standards and first on my shopping list. Tried many ketchups, and mayos but none come anywhere near Heinz and Hellmans.

Like a couple of other posters have said I am a little surprised that you didn't treat yourself to some chips, I quite like the Wimpy ketchup and you can buy it from Wimpy restaurants. We mostly buy a ketchup that has reduced sugar and salts and they're fine.

Made me smile watching this vlog, Gary. As kids & growing up Heinz tomato sauce was always in the cupboard, along with HP brown sauce - so like you do, you continue buying what you know & what you like & the sauces never change. Until one week, I was coppering up to get shopping in, anything reduced in price or cheaper than usual was welcomed. This day I was in Iceland & went to get my usual sauces, on the shelf Heinz & HP standing ready to be picked as normal. Then I saw a deal, Daddies Tomato & Brown Sauce big bottles, good deal - so I bought ‘em. Bacon butties were on the menu & couple of meat & potato pies. Used the sauce & I was transported back to the 1970’s, at my nana & granddad’s, the taste was amazing. Green’s pies on a Saturday lunch my granddad used to go & queue & bring home a dozed pies, the taste brought everything back to my mind. Brown sauce was just the same. My nana used to buy sausages from the Coop butchers on Dalton Rd, served with tinned tomatoes with OXO cubes put thru them. The nostalgia Daddies brought back to me in them sauces have made them a staple in my cupboard - could never leave the brand now. Thank you for sharing that - well cheered me up.

Price per gram would be helpful, keep up the good work and thanks for the information 👍👍👍👍

I’m in my mid forties, as a kid I always remember having Daddies as I think it was the major player then, but now it only seems to be sold at Iceland B&M etc, Heinz has taken over

We tried the Sainsbury's own a few years ago. It was too rich - almost like eating the condensed tomato paste you get in those tubes! I currently only buy Heinz, but yes it is sweeter than some others.

When it comes to ketchup i support my local butchers who make their own tomato ketchup and it's incredible. Vinegar is my favorite condiment without a doubt but this ketchup has no of it, just a smooth tomato taste. Some may say fruity but i love it. Out of all these, i would go for a cheaper one like asda or aldi as Daddies is like you say " has that cheap taste" and heinz is overpriced compared to some of the other ones that do the same job but on the cheap. However that's just me and everybody has their favorites :) I have yet to find a brown that is better than HP though lol

I really like the COOP one, but as it wasn't available I tried Sainsbury. I don't like much from Sainsbury but the sauce is really good. Its dark, thick strong & NOT sweet. So either are good to me but if you want sweet, go elsewhere are these two are not.

My favourite is Helmanns tomato ketchup. Tastes like pure tomato and no vinegar after taste. Not sure how much it costs in UK, but I buy it from Carrefour.

Ave a look at wot ya cudawun! Now then lets be onust to be onust, onustly. Love it Gaz.

We buy Aldi tomato sauce here in Victoria, Australia. The Aldi brand here is not Bramwells, it is Colway. Anyway, regardless of the brand name, it is good enough for our family.

Heinz has a very sweet taste and brings back childhood memories of going to the chippy and getting those little sachets of Heinz ketchup (That now cost a fortune 😋)

Thank you a great test please look at sugar content because as we age we don't want high sugars because of diabetic love all your videos.

Good description of those seaside/cafe plastic bottle abominations. 👍

Gareth I'm surprised I've always liked Daddy's and Heinze but l think after seeing taste test think I'm gonna try Coop more tomatoes great review 💖😋😋😋

Thank you for the important research there....don't care about war or anything else , I just need to know what's best on my chippy tea tonight 😋

If the spice your looking g for is in chilli con carne it maybe cumin . And my family always moan if u try and save a couple of quid and get a cheaper one . Great review exactly what we need in this current money crisis 👏

Pudliszki ketchup £1.15 for 480g from Asda. Lovely flavour.
