    Skintas, you no need to explain, my asda is in a clampit area and that is why I don't shop there, Mondays are just awful, I think they must get there benefits then.

    The quality is certainly not upto the likes of Tesco, and its not cheaper.

    Hi
    Just a quick question please, as I haven't been well and haven't heard the news.

    Which it the cheapest this weekend, is it Asda or Tesco please?

    many thanks

  • I went to Tesco for my shopping yesterday and was shocked by how much they had raised their prices. I shop on a very limited budget and have to keep a tally of how much I spend as I go around and so have a fair idea of prices on things I buy regularly. Just some examples, TV sausages up from 16p to 55p, milk up from 78p to 83p, minced beef up from £1.20 to £1.50 and that's just since the shop I did last week. So as far as I can see they may be slashing prices compared to this week's cost but I don't think there'll be much different from last weeks's and certainly not from a few weeks ago.

    Asda has the reductions this weekend. Tesco are starting to lower their prices, but I don't know on what yet, from monday.

    Hi,

    Went to Asda today, no mince or butter @ 50p, then done a big shop at Sainsburys and noticed that their Basics mince was also 50p.

    Forgot about looking at the butter though :doh:

    Will have to look around as I need to make some cakes for work next week

    Hi Guys!

    I have just made an online order with Asda coming Tuesday 1st July and everything is showing as 50p. I have ordered 15 butters to put in the freezer and some of the milk. I have ordered over £50 to get the FREE delivery code. I also noticed that their frozen minced lamb is £1.30 for 500g which does us 2-3 meals for the 3 of us. Loads of good offers throughout. Have also ordered a few take-away style meals.
