Asda

If you're planning to buy your Christmas food shop from Asda, you can now bag your delivery slot as bookings have opened today (Tuesday 10 October) for all shoppers.

Major supermarkets including Asda and Tesco are currently imposing restrictions on certain fruit and vegetable purchases, including tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, due to supply shortages. In many cases you'll only be able to buy a limited number of each item. Below, we've compiled a list of which supermarkets have restrictions and what their rules are. 

Asda has rolled out its 'Asda Rewards' loyalty scheme nationwide after trialling it in a small number of stores in England. The move means shoppers across the UK can now earn money-off vouchers to use at the supermarket chain. 

If you shop in Asda you'll now need to input your mobile number into its 'Rewards' app to continue using it as the supermarket has increased its security. The move comes after many of Asda's loyalty scheme users complained that cash saved in the app had disappeared, and in some cases had been spent in stores miles away from their homes.

An increasing number of Asda loyalty scheme users have complained that cash saved in their 'Asda Rewards' app has disappeared, and in some cases been spent in stores miles away from their homes.

Aldi has become the latest supermarket to scrap 'best before' dates on fruit and veg in a bid to cut down on food waste. It joins Asda, M&S, Sainsbury's and Waitrose, which have all recently done similar. Food can still be eaten after its best before date, yet many people throw items away in confusion. 

Asda has teamed up with Jaja Finance to launch the Asda Money Credit Card, which offers cashback on purchases at Asda and elsewhere. The cashback can only be spent at Asda though. Below we explain the pros and cons and compare the new deal to other rewards options – where it's largely beaten.
