Does any supermarket ketchup beat Heinz?

I'm not a brand snob but have always bought Heinz ketchup. The supermarket own brand ones seem half the price. But are they as worse/same/better?

Lidl is also very good, and better than it was a couple of years ago!
I tried Asda's a few years ago and it was just too vinegary, but Tesco's is nice, just like Lidl and Morrisons.
I'm not really that keen on normal Heinz, but their organic version is the best, for me. Sadly, it's also by far the most expensive so I never buy it. Tesco's, Morrisons' and Lidl's ketchups contains much more real tomato than normal Heinz, though not quite as much as Heinz Organic, but I find them the best choices when you factor-in the price. Last time I checked, Tesco was the best value because they do a huge bottle for about £1.15.
I can't remember if I ever tried Aldi's years ago, but it contains the same amount of tomato as normal Heinz, so I don't bother with it.
I think the one in the cupboard at the moment is Bramwells? It might be ALDI's brand
No other supermarket ketchup seems as good. I don't eat a lot of it personally but my partner does and he'll basically refuse to eat any other brand.
We have Asda 'Chosen by You' ketchup instead, it's not as sweet.
I tend to vary my ketchup brands otherwise it all tastes a bit samey.
Have to agree about the baked beans i have not bought heinz for a couple of years now. Bought ;BRANSTON instead far better, and sauce is thicker and tastier..
when branston first came onto market they also did a spaghetti which was vile in taste, it contained no salt at all and the taste was matalic. Loads of people me included phoned their customer service care and told them of my thoughts.. after a few months they were taken of the market and never replaced, shame they could of outsold heinze spagetti, which is the only kind of spagetti i currently buy because of the length of them and taste.
Perfect combination for any meals.
I like pretty much all supermarket ketchups (standard, not the value ranges), and currently have ALDI's in my fridge. However, never ever buy ALDI's brown sauce. It's disgusting.

We used to always buy Heinz ketchup too, until we were given Branston's as a substitute, and now we wouldn't go back to Heinz unless it was on offer. No-one in our family can tell the difference between the two... seriously.
