ASDA Smartprice - what's good, whats not!

Giulliana

Some are good and some are bad but as an earlier poster said if you have it delivered and they haven't got the smartprice version you get a better one for the same price, I think the chicken portions are particularly good, the lamb from Asda of any hue always seems appalling.

steer clear of SP Jaffa Cakes 50p for 12 what a rip off! One week they were more expensive then McVities :eek:

the wine isn't bad, red n white, and the cider is pretty drinkable too.

Tinned sliced peaches are good - I have never seen so many slices packed into a tin before:D

Here is my list of like and dislike asda smartprice goods

Like
tinned tomato and kidney beans
sliced beetroot and tomato sauce
lemon curd and golden syrup
tinfoil and foodbags
mushy peas, vinegar, tuna chunks,flour
foam bath and shower gel 8p
kitchen rolls, toilet cleaner, cistern blocks,pine disinfectant
dishwasher tablets 30 for £1.72 they are the same as asda make for£4.50
all biscuits are nice, creme caramels and chocolate mousse
bacon pieces, garlic bread, sliced corned beef

avoid
sponge scoures need to go in the bin after one use
furniture polish i have bought this twice and both times spray has broke
tinned corned beef i dont think it tastes of anything (sliced one nice)
bleach very much like water

I used to like the smartprice creme caramels but haven't seen them in my local ASDA for a while so it might just be the ASDA brand ones now.

Smart price ready to roll icing is good (better than any fondant icing I could make anyway!) and so are the smart price dolly mixtures (to decorate the cake of course!)

Just been converted to Asda Smart Price double concentrated orange squash. It is 22p for a 750ml bottle which makes up to 7.5 litres if diluted per instructions and its really nice, I prefer it to Robinsons whole orange.
Regular SP stuff we buy are:
Tinned tomatoes
Tuna Chunks
Toilet roll
Jaffa Cakes
Ginger snaps
Frozen broccoli
Frozen cauliflower
Fresh mushrooms
Fresh carrots

Everybodys tastes are different but would avoid:

Mushy Peas - they are yellow?? not green and taste funny
Flour if you intend to make yorkshires with it, you will end up with pancakes
Mayo - really runny and smells very vinegary
Ketchup - really runny DD hates it
sausages- don't know if there is any real meat in them, and if there is, don't think I want to know which part

good:
tin toms - not runny at all
beans
biscuits
turkey drumstick - when cooked will feed a family of 4, roast or stripped for curry, stew etc and only cost £1.49
mince - if you don't mind draining the water
toilet roll
cat food
pasta

I agree about the noodles they taste a lot better than Batchelors!!! Also like their chicken spread - yum yum

I love the chicken noodles also smart price whole tin tomatoes are the only ones I buy. Lemon double strength cordial is better than robinsons....

Rubber gloves and kitchen foil are also good buys.
