Available all year. Online and in stores

You can get school uniform items (ages 3-18) from £3 at Asda, both online and in stores. If you're buying online, standard delivery's from £3.75. Click and collect from a store (find your nearest) is free. Stock for the cheapest items is starting to run very low, so there's no guarantee you'll be able to get what you're after.

What can you get?

Prices change depending on size. We noticed that a lot of sizes are sold out online. If George at Asda doesn't have the size you need available to order, try visiting a store instead. Alternatively, there are other similar items available online, but you may pay more for them.

Delivery not available for the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.

In-store only

On selected fresh products only. Link a Blue Light Card to Asda Rewards app

NHS and emergency services staff can link their Blue Light Card (£4.99 for two years – see full info) to the free Asda Rewards app to get 5% back each time on selected 'fresh' purchases in-store (see 'More info' for exclusions) when scanning the app at the checkout. The amount will go into your Asda Rewards 'cashpot' which you can use to get a discount on a future shop in-store or online, so it's not an on-the-spot discount.

Asda says it considers fresh products (and therefore included in the offer) to be fresh meat, cooked meat, fresh fish, fruit and vegetables, fresh fruit juice and smoothies, dairy, and bakery. For exclusions see the Asda Blue Light Card T&Cs.

How it works

  • Download/sign in to the Asda Rewards app, select 'More' then 'Memberships'. You can then link your Blue Light Card – once you've filled in the info, Asda says verification will take seconds.

  • Shop as normal in-store (find your nearest, not valid online) and then scan your Asda Rewards app at the checkout – you'll receive 5% of the amount of your eligible shopping into your cashpot in the app – up to a maximum of £100 a day.

  • To claim money in your cashpot against the cost of a future shop you'll need to exchange it for an in-app voucher within six months (vouchers are then valid for three months).

Incl using supermarket coupons and tracking offers

There are always ways to save money at Asda* so even if there isn't a cracking deal out there that works for you, don't assume you can't cut your costs further.

Ways to save include:

  • Supermarket coupons. Make sure you check out our supermarket coupons page to save on your shopping.

  • Compare the cost of your trolley. Compare the cost of your shopping trolley at the major online supermarkets with Trolley. Prices are often reflected in stores, so it's worth doing a check to see which is cheapest for you. Sadly, it doesn't include Aldi and Lidl, which might work out even cheaper. 

  • Take the Downshift Challenge. The phrasing and language used hypnotises us into thinking most costly is best. While the packaging looks more opulent, look beneath it and sometimes you won't be able to tell the difference (often it's made in the same factory). Take our Downshift Challenge.

  • Track if it's really a bargain. Most of us know just because a supermarket lists an item as "on offer", that doesn't mean it's cheap. The trouble has been sorting awesome offers from poor promos. To help, Trolley compares supermarkets and charts products' price histories to show if a 'was' price is realistic.

  • Time trips right to bag huge yellow sticker discounts. If you spot a yellow sticker discount - fantastic. Grab it and use it quickly as it's a saving on perfectly good nosh. See when Asda normally reduces its produce in our Cheap Supermarket Shopping guide.

  • Check out similar retailers, eg, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and the other major supermarkets. If you're not committed to buying from Asda, check out our deals from AldiTescoSainsbury'sLidlMorrisons and Waitrose, where they may have a better offer.

  • Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to find out in which shops hagglers have most success. Supermarkets did feature, so it's worth a go. Find out more in our Haggle on the High Street guide.​

  • Had a problem with Asda? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Asda*.

Christmas vegetables from 8p a packet

The annual supermarket veg price war is back, including potatoes, carrots, parsnips & more

Are you in charge of this year's Christmas dinner? If so, keep calm and carrot on... the 2024 Christmas veg price war is heating up.

So far, six supermarkets – Asda, Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco – have confirmed veg prices will be slashed this week, with Asda, Lidl and Aldi currently taking the crown, dropping prices to as low as 8p a packet. As we usually see every year, once a few supermarkets drop prices, the others follow suit.

This is the cheapest we've ever seen Christmas veg since we started tracking them in 2015. The previous cheapest was in 2022, when prices went down to 9p a packet on Christmas Eve at Aldi in a bid to reduce food waste. That beat 2023's 15p, 2021's 14p, and 2015's 22p – in case you were wondering.

You don't need to keep your eyes peeled for when the cheap veg will be available, as we've listed when you can bag them below, so get ready to par-snip the price of your festive shop.

Asda – 8p each until Christmas Eve

Lidl – 8p each in stores only until Christmas Eve

  • Brussels sprouts (500g) – 8p

Will there be enough stock of cheap Christmas veg? Given the time of year, we can't be certain what stock will be available at supermarkets – local greengrocers may be a better option if available to you.

Will they be reduced even further? It might be worth waiting until just before supermarkets close for Christmas as you could find these cheap veg further reduced to clear stock. Previously we've seen 1kg of carrots for free after Christmas Day.

For more offers on groceries, see our Supermarket coupons guide.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
