    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Why is it a rip off ? 
    supermarkets have always charged differently. Asda x amount, Waitrose x amount, Sainsburys x amount and so it continues. 

    Nothing new in different prices across shops and regions and certainly not an Asda rip off

    But they are selling 18 bottles of Corona for £10 so swings and roundabouts - guess it depends where your priorities lie 😂

    We are all paying more in there to pay for the rewards scheme. Since that came out the prices increased as far as I'm concerned. 

    I m also sick fed up looking online at asda.com and seeing an offer, visiting store and price is higher, when I ask they tell me online prices are different to stores. 

    A perfectly good supermarket that's now rubbish and more expensive.
