Asda bargains

I have noticed that Asda seem to be doing a lot of very decent loss leaders at the ends of aisles that in many cases actually work out being cheaper getting 2 of the same product instead of just a single!!

Recent examples are I can't believe it's not butter - single price £1.15 - Offer price 2 for £1!!!

Ragu pasta sauce £1.20 for 1 or 2 for a quid. Pilgrims choice cheese is £3.30 for 400 Grams or £3 for 800 Grams!

They are also doing Yorkhire Tea 80 bag packs for a quid which is a bargain as the tea is the best!!

We now have a new shopping pattern that is Lidl and Aldi first and then off to Asda - the majority of our stuff is on offer or special and it doesn't really take any longer as we have all 3 within about 2 miles of eachother

Please post any more Asda deals like this.

    It must be on the boards here somewhere although I've not found it, but their 3kg penne pasta is selling for £2 for one or £3 for 2. A terrific saving on the twists which are still selling for around £3.49 for 3kg.

    noticed yesterday they had to my surprise their Lenor concentrated 2l for £2. had asked the cashier when it had already started but unconvincingly she said it had started a week before (hadn't seen it last week tho').

    they have the ainsley harriot meal kits for £1 at the moment, they are actually really nice and handy if you need dinner in a hurry as you usually only have to add the meat, comes with rice/cous cous etc.

    There is a special on Asda Own Brand Sanitary Towels at the moment 2 packs for a £1.I use these all the time and they are great so well worth stocking up at that price

    Sorry any men reading that are sensitive of nature about female hygiene products but a bargain is a bargain and us women do use them
