Asda home delivery - free extra things!

Does anyone else quite often get free extra items when ordering from Asda? Today it was a £3.87 pack of liquitabs. Last time it was 8 aero desserts and in the past I can recall an additional piece of gammon. I'm sure there have been other things also. None of these items have been charged for. Over to you.....

    I once received an extra bag, that contained shampoo, about 6 bottles of handwash and showergel. Probalby wasn't meant for me!

    I get freebies quite often with Abel & Cole and Ocado. So far I've had organic free range eggs, organic semi-skmmed milk, Red magazine, toothpaste and several coupons offering me 10% off for other companies eg Crew Clothing as well as recipe leaflets and their own magazines.

    I ordered my shopping from Asda through Kidstart (first online order you get £3.50 kidstart savings - has to be over £40 shop). So I ordered a jumbo pack of nappies and some other bits and pieces. Shopping arrived, no nappies. Said they'd redeliver that night, yet it never came.

    Bet it went to someone else :P

    Luckily I still got my kidstart savings even though I had a refund (and I demanded my delivery charge back too! :D )
