Asda Bargains

This evening we ventured into our local Asda. My daughter had been given a £5 voucher and it was burning a hole in her pocket. She managed to get a bargain. She chose a hardback copy of one of the Wimpy Kids books which was RRP at £12.99, Asda had it on offer at £6 so less the voucher she paid £1 for it. Then it was my turn for bargains. If you have read my blog for a while you will know that I can't refuse a meat bargain. When I see reduced meat I just cannot walk past it especially nowadays with the rising cost of everything, if I see a bargain it goes straight in the freezer. The lady was printing off those little yellow stickers so I surveyed the shelf as she was marking down. In total I had nine meat items that should have totalled £41.54, which actually came to £6.18. Here's what I bought; Leg of Lamb £8.79 to £2.18, Fillet steak £6.28 to 50p, 4 Scotch beef burgers £3.00 to 50p, Chicken Breast stir fry £4.50 to 50p, 2 Chicken Breasts £3.29 to 50p and lastly 4 packs of diced Chicken Breast which should have been £3.92 each down to 50p each. Now there was more but my poor freezer is fit to burst. I did have to make room to squeeze it all in, I confess that I threw away some ice cream that had been in there quite a while.

  1. Oh well done you!! I just got the M&S meal deal [this was a Special Treat] for £10 - but hunted out the largest chicken on the shelf - and in total saved nearly £7.
    Not as good as your stuff- but I am happy!

  2. I love the M&S deal, depending on the choice of wine , I keep it for a gift to use at a later time.

  3. You did it again, bargain hunter you. You always get great reductions on food. Now you need to start eating it. Have a week living out of the freezer to use some of it up.
