My ADSA experience

They just opened up a new ASDA nearby so I decided to try their home delievery service. HUGE mistake Not only were half my items missing and the subs were total crap but the meat was so gross! I ordered two packs of beef mince. It arrived totally BROWN!! I sent it back with the driver. He said my account would be credited 60p each for the mince. I said I paid 97p each for it but he couldnt explain it. Anyway Im putting away the food and I find a sickly white chicken swimming in blood! It was also covered in some sort of pepper spice which I would have never chosen. I threw it directly in the bin and called ASDA. The credited my account which is fine but now I have to go out meat shopping later. I could have saved the lousy £5 and just went out myself and did the shopping.
NEVER AGAIN! Back to Tesco or Morrisons!

Sorry you didn't have the butt slapping experience they advertise.

I've never been to Asda before as Jon used to work in their IT department and he HATES them. Apparently they used to be a brilliant company until Walmart bought them out. After that it all went downhill. Jon hates Walmart too (which is sacrilegious, I know).

Stick with Morrisons, they're always good.

I've shopped at Asda once and have browsed a few times.  Their fresh fruit and veg looked sickly, and I wasn't impressed with their meats.  To top it off, it's located in town (horrendous parking) and my grocery bill wasn't any less than normal.

Shopping at Asda should require a bottom slap, though not as they advertise!

We have two ASDAs within ten min of each other. Parking is always a nightmare and its always so packed with hygiene deficient people! In fact the driver today smelled as if he never bathed in his life!
Funnily enough the baking potatoes were lovely!

LOL. I wish you lived closer Cait!!! You're SO funny!

i like asda for their clothing.

since i'm a bit..ahem..chunkier than i like to be, it gives me cheap clothing that is pretty decent.

then again, if i only lost the weight i would not need the new clothing but nevermind.   

Oddly enough this was in the newspaper this morning.

lol!! it all went downhill when they hired Sharon Osbourn as their spokesperson. I tend to buy from them when I'm having a big do...they only seem to get the crisps alcohol right. I've seen the pickers for home delivery at the Southgate one...16ish yapping away to their mates oblivious to what they are actually doing just wanting to get the list done so they can go on break...

Well that explains a lot. I am having a party this weekend. I ordered 4 bags of plain salted tortilla chips and instead I got salsa flavoured and cool flavoured. I have four bags of them. I have no idea what to do with them. I guess I can bring them back to the store but they were 2 for £1 but its not worth the trip. I guess ill pawn them off on my houseguests! 
The Carlsberg Export was delivered just fine.

I don't like cool ranch or salsa..Thank you very much


Sounds like you should have had this experience instead




BTW I do like cool ranch.....

My man and I went to ASDA on a Saturday morning once, needless to say it was a devastating experience. Hundreds of parents, yelling at their screaming kids, as they filled their carts with frozen fried food. It wasn't until we paid and realized that our bill for a huge cart filled with groceries was half of what we would normally spend at Sainsbury. So, I started to go to ASDA every couple of on a Tuesday at around 9am. Just before the big rush of Leamington's finest!! Recently, though, I have noticed that the meat I am buying looks nice in the pack, but tastes a bit rough. So now I have started supplementing with meat from the local butcher, which ends up completely defeating the purpose of going to ASDA to save money in the first place....

I can't tell you how many times the meat or veg/fruit I've bought from Asda has gone off. We shop there only when absolutely skint and even then prefer to stick with non-perishables.

Damn. This thread makes me depressed. We had a Safeway, which was great, which was bought by Morrisons, which was ok, which was sold to ASDA and just opened this week. I have been waiting for the crowds drawn by the new-ness and the big name to die down before I tried it. The Safeway was my shop cause it had the best selection. Now I am stuck at Dunne's which does not have half of what I used to get at Safeway and the produce is woeful. I had been hoping ASDA would have been at least as good as what Safeway was. From this thread it sounds like it will be terrible!
