It's been a while since i last visited Asda, i thought compared to other supermarkets i go to they seemed so expensive. Your thoughts on Asda nowadays?

sorted byAll the supermarkets are putting prices up, but Asda definitely seem one of the worst these days.
Some people don’t like Asda now because of the new owners. (edited)
I still found the pricing way higher on what I brought. Not quite sure why that happened because Asda was voted the cheapest out of the top 4 recently. Maybe they are cheaper with their offers & cashback but certainly not for what I purchased.
No booze. No big items just general shopping.
Would have been more if they had Pepsi Max in stock as on offer.
Onions are up 20p for pack of 3 this week in aldi.
Seen other items up in price while others have never changed.
Yoghurts that were £1 last October In tesco are now £1.60
It's all the supermarkets putting prices up..
Custard In aldi was 55p now 73p I noticed (edited)
never mind cancelling the national pricing on petrol which only served to see the others jack up the prices too
Prices keep going up everyday everywhere!
They're also dirty with some offer pricing too. Some gym kitchen things I were looking at the other day ranged between £2 at Morrisons, £2.50 at Sainsbury's but we're £3.75 at Asda! The Morrisons price wasn't an offer either. (edited)

Frozen ones also have price parity.

Shop mostly at Aldi now. When I do use ASDA it's to spend TCB-bought gift cards on the few products where they're still competitive.
Though prices in general are completely insane; the official 10% inflation is utter fantasy.
There are far fewer promotions to take advantage of, so the savvy shopper is looking at more like 30-50% uptick in prices over the past 12-18m.
ASDA Essential Vegetable soup, Was 24p. Now 57p.
Says it all really.
Now I just shake my head as I walk past the aisle, go home & make my own. (edited)
Time to move maybe. It all adds up.
The sugar and fatty foods (fizzy drinks, sweets, crisps, biscuits, cakes, Pizza, ice cream etc) were often cheaper but the healthy stuff I found more costly, Tesco and Sainsburys fruit and veg lasted longer and seemed better for less.
Maybe things have since changed but that was my experience, and most generic products now like paracetamol, toothpaste are pretty much same price everywhere as they all price match each other on these essentials.
Wages for staff have also been increased since Covid to retain staff and that just gets passed on, if Asda pay less than staff move to Aldi, Tesco etc.
