The chain has slashed the price of John West tinned tuna down to just 39p a can.
One said: “That’s a bargain.” Another posted : “Get in” and “got the tins in now.”
Asda recently announced price cuts on 126 essential items worth £70m in a bid to make life easier for customers.
The chain also hacked back prices on bake beans, pasta sauce, strawberries, chopped tomatoes and spaghetti hoops.
Kris Comerford, Chief Commercial Officer at Asda, commented: “We know families are still working hard to make their budgets stretch as far as possible, which is why we’re investing even further in driving down the cost of everyday essential items – the things we know our customers are putting in their baskets week in, week out.
“Through this latest investment, alongside our existing Price Drops Aldi Lidl Price Match, Fab 5 and Asda Rewards programme – our customers can trust that they will get uncompromising value every day at Asda.”
The fresh cuts from Asda come on the back of Aldi Lidl Price Match and weekly Mega Event Price Drops.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
