    It's in-store. There was also Omega 3 (in oil and capsule form) for 50p and anti-allergy syrup for over 6 year olds for 50p, and complan-type sachets for 10p.

    This is probably unique to the OP's local Asda.

    This was the Swansea (Llansamlet) Asda. The reduced items were all mixed in with the full priced medicines/diet meals/first aid etc. They were not on a separate 'reduced' stand so they are probably reduced in all Asda's.

    absolutely fantastic bargains. I grabbed a few today in my local asda (Peterborough) the scholl foot softening cream i thought looked like a brilliant buy, got 2 of them, diabetic choc for my Dad, nit lotion (schools back this week & you can never have too much of that) 50p some meal replacement bars 10p, i often miss a meal coz of running about after the children or I just cant be bothered to make myself something once I've made the childrens food. A few other bits & bobs aswell.
    hugs
