    Hi. Every individual will have a different opinion.

    I would say ASDA is the cheapest supermarket overall.

    They are all much of a much now. But to save driving halfway accross the city to them all for petrol reasons I just go to ASDA.

    Maybe I am just in routine though. The only reason is, I was having a "clear out" earlier and I came across some 7" singles in my box. Now there were a right good few all bought in 1988. Most have an ASDA price sticker on them <mind you, some said Woolworth! and John Menzies!>. ASDA HARD GOODS is what the sticker says. £0.99- to £1.59 is the price range.

    So I must have been going to ASDA from a young age. I can't realy remember going there too much but it's funny as that is now my preferred shop! lol.

    Funny you should ask this question. earlier this week i got an email from tesco offering £10 off my shop if i did it online. So for this week only i have added all my normal items to tesco (online) as well as asda (online), which is where i do my usual shop and at the moment tesco is coming up at £22 and asda at £14 for exactly the same items, i havent finished yet but i suspect when i do get to the end tesco will be dearer even with the £10 off.
  • For me it seems to be what deals are on that week, that will change who is actually cheaper.

    However, I got into this whole tesco clubcard thingy a few months ago and checked the price of some stuff that i usually buy from asda and have decided that Asda is indeed cheaper.

    So from now on, if Tesco has a good deal such as the 2 for £1 sugar.
    I'll pop in quickly for it, other than that! ASDA!! :money:

    I dont think any of them are cheaper I think it all depends on what you are buying. I put my items into mysupermarket which compares the big 4 and asda rarely comes up cheaper for me! It is usually Tesco, but this week its Sainsburys! I dont do a full shop anywhere, I find out who has what I want cheapest and buy there and stock up on offers, luckily I have all within a short distance, except waitrose who are never cheaper. I have my list split into 4 as I also get stuff from other places like Morrisons or Iceland as well.

    I'm totally with you there, and divide my shopping between A$da, Te$co, L!dl & !celand, as I'm not within walking distance to Wa!trose or Sa!nsburys.

    My online shop is always with A$da, as it is, without fail, always cheaper than the other 3. However, Te$co regularly have special offers on which I like to take advantage of, and if they happen to be on when I'm about to place an online order with A$da, then Te$co get my custom on that particular product. I also buy most of my f&v from Te$co & L!dl as I prefer to choose my own, which is obviously something you can't do when online shopping.

    If you have the time and shops available to you, it pays to shop around to get the most bang for your buck.

    Hi
    how do i get a voucher asda says it will refund the difference even if they are cheaper, well i have entered my till details and this is what comes back



    Tesco Sainsbury's Morrisons Waitrose
    +£6.98 +£13.14 +£7.71 +£16.62
    View details View details View details View details
    The comparison carried out by mySupermarket found that yet again ASDA, the winner of Britain's Lowest Priced Supermarket Award for 13 years running, has given you the lowest price shopping, and can save you up to £864.24 a year


    but i cant see any option to print a voucher ??? or havei got it wrong

    cheers
    Why would you get a voucher when everywhere else was so much more expensive? You only get a voucher if Asda is less than 10% cheaper (or more expensive, obviously).

    I did some research a few weeks ago with a real mid-week shopping list - remembering that you will buy different brands depending on which store you visit and what promotions are available.

    This was my shopping list:
    Washing Powder, min 1.5kg
    2x Kitchen Rolls
    2l Pepsi Max
    1l Orange Juice
    2l 1% fat milk
    500g Lamb Mince
    Fabric Conditioner
    Tin Tomatoes
    Tomato Puree
    Tuna Chunks
    Mustard Seeds
    Frozen Peppers
    Frozen Green Beans
    Pepperoni Pizza

    This is what I would have bought in Asda (all prices from MySupermarket on 06/01/2011)
    Daz 1.7kg £3.00
    SP Kitchen Roll 2 rolls £1.18
    Pepsi Max 2l £1.00
    SP Orange Juice 1l £0.62
    Watsons Dairy Milk 2l £1.34 Note: 1% not available at Asda
    Lamb Mince 500g £2.52
    Fab Conditioner 750ml £0.85
    SP Tin Toms 400g £0.31
    Tomato Pur!e 200g £0.47
    SP Tuna Chunks 185g £0.59
    Mustard Seeds 70g £0.63
    Frozen Peppers 1kg £1.44
    Frozen Green Beans 750g £0.89
    Deep Pan Pepperoni Pizza 393g £1.17
    And in Tesco
    Persil 2.125kg £3.30
    Value Kitchen Roll 2 rolls £1.17
    Pepsi Max 1l £0.65
    Pepsi Max 1l £0.65
    Value Orange Juice 1l £0.63
    Creamfields 1% milk 2l £0.88
    Value Lamb Mince 500g £1.59
    Fab Conditioner 750ml £1.02
    Value Tim Toms 400g £0.31
    Trattoria Verdi Tomato Pur!e 200g £0.33
    Mermaid Bay Tuna Chunks 185g £0.45
    Mustard Seeds 70g £0.63
    Frozen Peppers 500g £1.00
    Frozen Peppers 500g £1.00
    Frozen Green Beans 750g £0.89
    Trattoria Verdi Deep Pan Pepperoni Pizza 440g £1.00

    Asda Total: £16.01
    Tesco Total: £15.50

    Remember that I wouldn't get a voucher on the Asda price guarantee as I'm not comparing like-for-like products, I'm comparing what I would buy in each shop.

    Also it depends on exactly what you buy and what is on offer that week.

    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
