Wow I LOVE ASDA!!!




I really cant get over my shopping trip today and wanted to share my success!!

Normally I do our shop at Tesco because its so big, it has everything you want and I just love it!!
However me and my OH decided that beings he works for Asda and gets 10% off all purchases we should give Asda a try so we can save a few pennies!!!

Our Asda in Northampton really does not give Asda much justice compared to some of the others I have been too!!! However I went today and I LOVED IT!!! The shop took probably took 40 mins max as its probably only about a sixth of our local tesco and was absolutely amazed at it just costing £30 when I got to the till!!! This is including £5 worth of walkers crisps (very good offer, like 56 bags)!!! Magnums.... yummy (also on offer) chocolate biccies (you guessed it on offer)!! More fruit than I normally buy as it was all mix and match , 2 for £3 including strawberries and kiwis!!!

I didnt buy anything frozen (aprat from the magnums) but still a shop like this in tesco normally costs me £45 easy!!! Plus there is too much temptation with cheeky treats!!!
Swapping to asda has been a success and also saw an offer on pampers.... 2 big boxes for £18!! That must be good too ey!!

We're actually thing of changing to asda.......I went the other day & was amazed at what I got!

My OH did say 'Yeah but what about points?' but I just think quality at asda is better. I also full up my car alot at tesco £160 - £200 a month so we still get points!

I got a gorgeous shower cutian in asda on sale for £2 (I got 3)

I liked tesco cos of the points too but really 1 point to a £1 is like nothing!!! You have to spend £500 to get a fiver back!!! Asda is way more cheaper!! yeah i fill up at tesco too!!!

Gosh when I was in the states, i cant remember the supermarket we went too... but i thought it was AMAZING!!! but I suppose its what your use to and we were getting bits and bobs not like a proper shop!!!

We just recently converted to Asda too from Tesco and there really is a difference on how much less we spend each week.
