Hey I miss them too.
You can also get them in the British Shop in the South Center Mall and the Market Mall in the North.

Last time I got some they were around $ 2.50 a tin.

Can you bring canned foodstuffs into Canada? If so we'll put a few cases of beans etc in the shipping container, will make good expat bribes

Go to Sobeys and buy Clark's beans in tomato sauce.
Closest thing to Heinz beans that we have ever tasted over here. Around 99c per can but is sometimes on offer.

When I first came to Canada, the thing I missed the most were gherkins. I was a big fan of cheese and gherkins. The pickles here didn't taste the same and I suffered gherkin withdrawal. However, once I started eating Bick's dill pickles etc etc - when I went back to England I hated the gherkins. It's all a question of getting used to what is available. You only like the taste of the Brit baked beans because that is what you are used to.
There are some really good pickles for sale - crispy and garlicky - yumm!!
My husband occasionally fools around and cooks his own beans. I have no idea what he puts in them but they are really good. If you make your own you can fiddle around until they taste how you like them. I assume if you were really keen, you could buy some Mason jars and save some for another time.

Heinz Salad Cream is readily available at most major grocery stores in Calgary, as are Heinz baked beans, but most Brits don't like the taste or consistency of the real Heinz original baked beans.
