ASDA Smartprice - Good/Bad items

Home_Alone_2

Following the example of the Sainsburys Basics thread, what do you think of the Asda Smartprice range (which is the equivalent of their basics range).

I have only just started shopping there and have only tried the Smartprice tomato soup which is incredible, and just like Heinz Cream of Tomato.

Their Smartprice cat litter is rubbish. Tesco's value cat litter is much better.

Smartprice Jaffas are nice, but the sweetcorn is to be avoided at all costs as is the washing up liquid.

I wouldn't wash my drains in it.

I've always used their tinned tomatoes, red beans, lasagne sheets, washing powder, frozen peas, flour, porage oats (thinks way round cupboards ) all are fine.

As well as the mentioned.......I buy the smart price large jar of salad cream, tastes just as good as heinz, but much cheaper

We have the value pasta, tinned sweetcorn, passata, washing powder, fabric conditioner, custard (tinned and packets), flour, tinned pineapple, natural yoghurt, pizza cheese... that's all I can think of! It's all good.

It's not often I shop at Asda but one thing I have tried, and recommend you avoid at all costs, are the Value Bin Liners. I can't get a full one out of the bin without it ripping and the contents spilling all over! It's back to Aldi ones for me.

Remembered stir-fry veg (mostly bean sprouts with a few other bits @ 50p) and smoked salmon scraps.
