BS, Asda were at least a few pence cheaper on nearly everything I checked in the last few months, from bread to biscuits!

All of my Asda shops in the last 6 months have been more expensive than they would have been in Tesco, according to the Asda price promise. I know for a fact because they give me double the difference back

Are you comparing like for like, I mean does that apply to their respective own brand stuff? I only ask cos as a general rule it's brands in this house, even when that doesn't make sense...

Mixture of both. Often it's stuff like meat and veg which aren't really branded, but with the booze it's often branded.

I have to say the vodka was definitely cheaper at Tesco lol.

I have to say I'm not surprised. Tesco seem to have gone into an absolute frenzy of expansion recently - seriously, in the last year they've built a brand new supermarket at each end of a mile long road near me - and their stock management and quality control seem to have taken a bit of a plunge as a result. I actually tend to shop at whichever superstore is convenient at the time, and experience has been whichever Tesco I go in they a) rarely seem to have all the things I need in stock and b) their fresh goods simply aren't as good as the competition. So they've dropped down my preference list as a result.

+1, and the amount of times my mum's said they didn't have bread or it had a rubbish date on it...

Asda give you money back if they're not 10% cheaper than the nearest competitor. They're usually the cheapest anyway but will pay you the extra to make themselves 10% cheaper.

Outside space and time, bitches!

They slumped because at Christmas they stopped taking competitors vouchers.
