    As with all these type of sales the key is in those two little words, "up to".

    They appear to have 1 half-price CRT TV; 1 half price MP3 speakers, 1 half-price car CD player, 1 half price fan, 2 half price hobs, 1 half price cooker hood, 1 half price DVD recorder and 1 half price salad grater. And that's it. Everything else in the sale is at much lower discounts.

    I suggest you don't get too excited.

    As biglugs is obviously having a go at Asda and not the OP; I can only presume you work for Asda and it was you who wrote the e-mail and that's why you are so angry! ;)
    All the World is a Stage; and I'm going through a difficult one at the moment!

    Sorry - I didn't mean to be rude. I was simply highlighting what a complete con these "up to HALF PRICE SALE!!!!!" ads really are. It's like Homebase and their "up to 20% OFF EVERYTHING" ads, where they have ONE item at 20% off.
    Personally I think Trading Standards should be allowed to stamp down on these over-hyped promotions, and I'm surprised Asda feels the need to stoop to such low levels to sell itself.

    Or I could list all the half priced items and save lots of MSErs the effort of going to the Asda site and discovering their half price sale is a con?

    The delivery cost is £6.79 which is too high. Is anyone aware of any code which can make delivery from Asda online either free or cheap?

    Cheers
