Sainsbury Filtered Milk Compared To Asda price???? Plus Asda Shades Tisues half empty???!!!!!

binao

 Filtered Milk.

Asda today £1-46 per L purchased.

Sainsbury today listed at £1-90 per 2l  =95p per L

Also, Asda Shades Balm Tissues twin pack £3 purchased today. 

Out of 4 boxes, 2 twin packs, 4 yes 4 boxes where 1/2 EMPTY.  Pos to almost SINK INDEX FINGER TO 2nd knuckle.

Is Asda taking us, like the energy and oil companies?

Maybe the government should take a peep at Asda profits.

It's not until you get home you realise.

All comments welcome.

Think maybe Waitrose  are cheaper than Asda.

The new Asda rewards system has to be paid for somehow. As does the increasing amounts of interest on the debt it was loaded up with as part of the recent takeover…

I used to find Asda the cheapest of the mainstream supermarkets but not anymore. For some things, it is still cheapest but not reliably so anymore. For the filtered milk though, do Asda only sell it in 1l packs? Buying 1l will always be relatively more expensive per litre than buying a larger pack so could be a combination of all of the above making the difference.

51p as a percentage is a huge difference.

That makes Asda 2L prorata £2-92 ,. An EXCESS £1-02 over Sainsbury.

Re debt interest, that sounds like a Manchester United scenario.

Re the new rewards scheme,. A current topic complains pounds go missing, spent 100s from home. 

Your contribution is welcome, thanks.

I’m not sure that would be unusual though, if the Asda pack was a 1l rather than a 2l pack?

Looking at regular milk in Sainsburys, buying 2 pints is £1.30 but it is only another 35p for 4 pints (£1.65).

Your above would suggest Sainsbury's are much cheaper than Asdas.


Many peeps may find the 4 pints to heavy.


Have edited my earlier post to respond to your Asda loyalty point.

Thanks for your responses.

I swapped back to Asda after doing comparison shops at other supermarkets, they are so much cheaper for what I buy, followed by Tesco, Morrisons, Ocado and finally Sainsburys 

I love the rewards app too, cashed in £50 on my Christmas shop and am up to £9.61 now, which is so much more than I ever got at Tesco. 

Never have a problem with Asda products either. 

I hope your comment of Waitrose being cheaper was tongue in cheek? As much as I love Waitrose and do shop their, they are certainly not cheaper than Asda although they do have good offers.

Toilet Paper: I like the Nicky Elite. 32-pack quilted triple scented £8.79 at Home Bargains last time I looked.

Asda: I also find their prices not so keen as they used to be, except for whisky!

Waitrose: You can generally bank on their being more expensive, except for wine/beer/spirits dept. They have recently had the best price for Abbots in cans and would you believe it I actually bought reduced whisky from them a couple of months ago, a malt down from £47 to £14.99 46% alcohol and another to £12.99. (To quote another thread "no more whisky").

Sainsbury's: Whilst I do find their prices generally high, taking advantage of their 'Nectar Prices' and 'Sainsbury's Offers' on regular purchases can be well worth it. Bought yesterday: 4pt milk £1.65 but with 60 Nectar points effectively £1.35 (I get this offer every week), frozen pollock steaks 520g normal price £3,35, reduced price £1.60 but with 180 Nectar points effectively 70p. I frequently get back about 50% of what I spend in Nectar points, except when I buy whisky.

Never heard of home bargains but I like Asda loo roll. 

Disagree about Waitrose, you can’t bank on them being more expensive at all. They have good deals. 

Sainsburys nectar points, in my opinion are almost worthless, it reduces prices of the odd thing to be in line with other supermarkets but to be fair, I would never buy meat or fish there. 

I think it’s what suits each individual according to what they buy eat week. Personally for me, it’s Asda but for some others, maybe not.

Well worth having a look to see if there is one near you as we find them very good value for toiletrie in general...

I like Asda Shades too and used to buy it before I found Nicky Elite.

I think Home Bargains is brilliant for many things, on a par with B&M and is what Poundland could have been.
