50p bread, eggs and butter in Asda for 1 week

An article did say ASDA as a company was going to take the hit themselves not their suppliers if that helps

Maybe I'm being cynical but cant help thinking its the poor supplier who is being hit for these cuts

That is covered in the DM article, ASDA have 'assured' us that it is them taking the hit for the price cuts.

butter & bread might be good but im against the eggs as im sure their battery ones.

i can remember when smart price bread used to be 17p for a loaf!!!!!

So can I!! Worst bit about it is, that back then I was on a very tight budget so smart price was the only way ... now I buy more expensive bread etc however it will soon be back to smart price the way things are going!

I have been buying smart price bread for the last few weeks to cut down on spending and it is fine... however it is only 37p anyway, how sad am I that I know the price :rolleyes:

Off to Asda today so hopefully save a bit

I too am against the battery hen eggs and would never buy them at any price..however i have just got back from asda and 18 freerange eggs are only £2.00 which works about 50p more expensive than the value ones. A small price to pay for the hens welfare.

off to stock up on everything except the eggs. I dont do battery hen eggs and now have 4 ex battery hens in the garden giving me lovely fresh eggs everyday.

would be the weekend my chest freezer goes bump so nowhere to store loads of bargains

I use to work on a hen farm and even tho we packed free range eggs I never once saw a hen walking around the grounds so you never can tell I'm afraid.

Sometimes farmers keep the hens in big metal hangers roaming around :j . This is to stop them getting eaten by foxes. Yes, they dont see daylight but they can walk around in a really big space the size of half a football pitch. This is still technically classed as free range .

I've just been to my local Asda in Belfast and been told that this does not apply in Northern Ireland. I'd love to know why that is.
