How to save money at Asda
It’s worth signing up to the Asda Rewards scheme to save money at the supermarket.
The loyalty scheme, which is free to join, lets you earn Cashpot points by completing “missions” like hitting spending targets or buying products in certain categories.
You can also earn cashback by buying “star” products.
If you’re a regular shopper and often go for Asda’s more premium lines, it’s worth taking on the “downshifting” challenge too.
This means going for budget lines over more luxury lines, which could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your shopping.
It’s worth joining up to specific Facebook groups where shoppers flag bargain deals they’ve found online or in-store too.
Two worth giving a like and follow are the Latest Deals Facebook Group and the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
The Sun recently revealed the best time to score deals at Asda is once in the morning and again in the evening.
Look out for fresh produce like fruit and veg, often reduced to as low as 10p, especially during the morning reductions.
You’ll have to be early — stores that open at 6 or 7am are great for grabbing fresh produce at a fraction of the price.
Check the reduced shelf throughout the day as different times can offer varying discounts.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
