ASDA price guarantee vouchers
apologies if I do not need to start a new thread but just wanted to share that the vouchers have a short expiry date, with a small family I do not do "big shops" weekly so glad I checked my voucher as it expires tomorrow! Would hate to lose the money off.
Asda Price Guarantee - online voucher, how does this work?
Before Christmas I checked our online order with the APG and was told that £30.09 would be credited to our online account within 7 days. I have checked and can't see this anywhere on our Asda account. I only order online at Christmas so have never done this before. Can anyone tell me where I would see the credit, or do…
Buy a years worth
I searched but couldn't find anything. I was thinking of the pantry system a lot of us use. I have enough tuna and beans etc to do a year (I calculated roughly how many tins I'd need and got them on offer, at last years prices, something I read about on here :D ). So I was wondering what else could\would you buy to last a…
EXPIRED 48 Whiskas Pouches for £8.64
Hi, Just been browsing on Amazon and spotted this - seems like a good deal with free delivery too. (Not that I'm buying as I have a mountain of cat food from the Tesco deal a few months ago but thought it was worth posting anyway;))
Asda Price Guarantee - Biggest voucher yet!
We did our Christmas booze shop online with Asda and I've just checked the price guarantee. We spent £214.29 and it turns out Sainsbury's would have been £14.88 cheaper so we got an online voucher for £30.09. I am very happy with this. Merry Christmas!!!
Olives
I have noticed that nearly all jars of olives contain the instruction to consume within two weeks of opening, Since when have olives covered in brine gone off that quickly? Any suggestions as to how long realistically they can be stored?
Asda Voucher Printing - instore for free
Just highlighting this in case anyone else didn't know about it (I certainly didn't until my printer broke last week and I checked!). Full paste of my query via the online Contact form for Asda: Their reply:
Asda Price Guarantee - Don't forget
I called at my local Asda last night for a top up shop and some Christmas booze. When I did the Price Guarantee this morning, it gave me a voucher for £14.59! It seems Tesco would have been £2.28 cheaper. My total order was £165.41 (taking account of my last Price Guarantee voucher of £4.28). I just wanted to remind anyone…
Tesco price check is a con
As the supermarket price war has heated up, I've wondered how they can all claim to be the cheapest, with their low price guarantees and their online price checks. To satisfy my curiosity, I thought I'd put it to the test. At the weekend I visited my local Tesco superstore and bought 4 items: A child's toy, a 6-pint carton…
£10 to £15 for food a week?
Hi All, I want to go on a major saving journey for the next 4 months to pay of my overdraft. However, I am quite sociable and love going out so that is something that often involves food which is fine if I budget it in. Basically I have £50 a week budgeted for going out which leaves me with about 20 to spend on breakfast,…
ASDA WATCH WHAT YOU PAY FOR DVDs
Just been into local Asda (Slateford Road, Edinburgh) and purchased new Lee Evans and Peter Kay DVDs for Christmas presents. No sign up to say their price they are displayed beside DVDs selling at anywhere between £5 and £10 so (as they probably hope) you assume they will be same price. I bought them with food shopping, so…
Asda Price Guarantee
I have been doing quite nicely out of the Adsa price guarantee - and got myself a nice hoard of money off vouchers - last time for £5.00 & £8.14 and this time, having dug out a couple of old receipts as well, just in case, got £2.84, £4.60 and £5.09. They give you money back even if they are cheaper - if they are less than…

Massive price rises in Asda!
Thought I would give you a heads up on some of the huge price rises that have happened in Asda in the last few days. Last week I bought the ingredients for fajitas for tea and returned yesterday to buy them again (we like them :D ) to notice huge price rises. Passata last week was 29p this week is 38p, approx 32% rise…
300g MINGLES mint chocolates only £1.01 !
Got these today in Tesco for the kids to give as parents and picked up a couple of extra boxes for the school Christmas fayre. SEL states £1.01 or 2 for £6.00 - but they scan at the lower price.
Tesco sales fall 0.9%...
Perhaps people are slowly realising that Tesco aren't helping them but only Tesco themselves and voting with their wallets....Story Here
