Sorry for this being random but i'm off to uni in September and am wondering which is cheaper so a)i have a clear idea and b) i can get a tesco clubcard if it is.

I realise this topic is gonna sound sooo weird but i'm from Jersey C.I and i don't have either over here to compare them.

Feel sure it will be Asda but this is based on suspicion, not fact!

asda is cheaper but the quality is better at tesco so worth the extra few pence, fruit last the week from tesco but not from asda

Asda, definitely - I can fill trolley to overflowing there and it never seems too bad. Haven't done exact price comparisons, though. Perhaps it's becasue Asda do such great own brand stuff? Plus their clothes are fantastic -I bought a pair of fabulous high heels last year for £20 - still look great and are the most comfortable heels I've got!

I agree Ambrosa, Morrisons is the underdog and beats Asda and Tesco hands down!

Defo Asda, Tesco always costs a small fortune whenever I venture there!

IMO ASDA is cheaper but I find Tesco fruit and veg irresistable and buy loads, particularly organic, so only go to Tesco if I am feeling flush.

oh Starshaker.....£40 pw??? Do you mind me asking how many you are shopping for? I spend at least £100 pw in Tescos for me, DH (who doesn't think its a meal without half a plateful of meat for dinner),DS 15 (eats like a horse - damn those teenage hormones!)and DS 9. It always horrifies me when I get to the checkout cos I don't buy booze or any other "luxury" items. We have a Morrisons near here as well but its only a small one and never that well stocked.

Get the tesco club card anyway fro wehn you do shop there - but find your local Lidl or Aldi and do as much shopping as you can there.

You'll be shocked at how little you spend! !

Ourweekly shop is always cheaper at Asda - usually £40-£50pw, but I can easily spend upwards of £75 in Tesco.

ASDA is definitely cheaper and its now part of WalMart, which you will recognise LilMissy.
