Has asda gone expensive lately

I think you have to weigh up that most of the year supermarkets like Asda are generally gonna be cheapest but at this time of year prices will rise. That's market force.
And i don't think Asda is always cheapest. We popped in to see OH's dad and his wife and popped in Asda to get some thinghs and compared to our Sainsbury's we always shop at, some things werer dearer in Asda!! 10m foil was about 8p dearer in Asda and there were some other bits.
I think if you shop clever, ie;use reductions cabinet and freeze food if poss and don't go mad at Christmas then it should be fine. Price rises are aimed at greedy people who buy 2 trolleys worth of food. It's all relative. If you have to pay a bit more at Christmas then i guess that's what you are gonna have to do. I'm not happy at ROB but what are you gonna do if all the Supermarkets are doing this price increase at Christmas? It's 'pay up' or 'don't have' in the end. You can protest by not buying anything.

And we shop at Sainsbury's, which we all know isn't the cheapest but we feed a family of 3 each week for under £50 including baby milk and nappies and we live very well thanks!!
We use scan and pack, write a list and don't impulse buy to keep costs down.

Shop at sainsbury's!!!!!!!!!

I tried to shop online with Asda at the weekend. They had a slot for tomorrow so I was going to get some of that lager 3 for £22 but when I put it in my basket it didn't take the discount off. It did however take the discount straight away with other discounted items so I decided to give it a miss and I am going to go to the store instead. The taxi fare back is the same as delivery anyway :rolleyes:
