MSE News: Don't get an online grocery shopping shock

I have been on line shopping for a number of months now. I have used Tesco who always clearly show when all offers expire so it is easy to plan and be safe in the knowledge that the guide price won't change (except on products that are weighed).
I have recently started shopping with Asda and was shocked to find out that their rollback offers can expire at any time. This means that you are always taking a gamble when adding them to your basket. I have been lucky on this occasion (I have just received a delivery from Asda today) but it really doesn't give me confidence and so I may shop at Tesco again instead.
However Asda is a lot cheaper than Tesco and Tesco have started putting the prices of their Value stuff up (I don't buy Value food, just toilet roll, cleaning wipes and sponges and occasionally orange juice, which to me taste the same and printing paper).
Asda would have a loyal customer in me if they changed their policy as I do get enticed to add rollback offers. They do however clearly display when 2 for 1 or mutli buy offers expire, it's just the Rollback stuff you need to be careful of.
Previously someone posted when Tesco and Sainsburys renew their offers on Wednesdays. Does anyone know when Asda renew theirs? This would be most helpful in the future.0
