Asda or tesco for Christmas shop?

[Crazyhouse123]

Sorry not AIBU but shameless posting for traffic!

I am up early to go get bits for Christmas. I have Asda is one direction, tesco in the other, both huge.

Which one should I go to? Which one is generally cheaper?

Thank you!

ASDA is generally cheaper depending on what you are buying

Asda is a bit cheaper - but not a lot.
I prefer food from Tesco, generally more reliably good. I occasionally go to Asda if I'm passing one, but their own brand stuff can be a bit hit or miss.

I prefer our local Tesco over Asda. Asda can be slightly cheaper but Tesco food always seems bicer

Asda slightly cheaper but tesco slightly better.

Tesco. Their own brand stuff is nicer.

You have an Asda and Tesco at equal distance and don’t know which is cheaper? Have you just moved from the moon?

Tesco. Asda is a bit cheaper, but Tesco ha better stuff and less stuff out of stock, typically.

Umm no. There is a local asda just up the road from me so I do not tend to go to tesco too often unless I am passing. I also wasn't aware that I should know. Prices change all the time!

Thank you to everyone else who answered. Just off now!

I would prefer sainsburys personally but out of those 2 tesco as Asda's fruit and veg always goes off really quickly.

None of the above. Meat quality is awful at all the supermarkets

The one with easier parking.

Waitrose. Otherwise Sainsbury's.

Tesco had veg at 19p and 29p yesterday.

Aldi - definitely.

Everytime i shop at Asda a little bit of my soul dies. Tesco 19p veg lasted precisely one day before turning brown and shrivelled.

Asda is marginally cheaper than Tesco but (a) has crap stock control and is more likely to have sold out of stuff and (b) doesn't sell ripe fruit.

I was at Sainsbury's yesterday and they'd sold out of Christmas puddings. Had to go to M&S and stand in another huge queue.

The bigger one. More likely to have stock of what you want.

Prefer a Tesco, but that’s partly because I’m more familiar with it.

I second the person who says which has got the best parking. We have a Sainsbury near us, where the parking always gets gridlocked at Christmas due it’s design and nearby retail park.

Tesco. The Walmart family who own Asda are very mean to their employees.

Based on the way ASDA treat my 17 year old who has a part time job with them, they treat him well, he loves it and they pay him a bloody good hourly rate.

Tesco turkeys were mouldy and off a few years ago, put me off!

My mum worked for Asda and was treated very well.

I prefer ASDA - I like their own brand copies of things, they seem to have a wider variety of things and I think they come out slightly cheaper, although it gets a bad press on here.

Good luck OP!

I prefer asda - I keep all fruit and veg in the fridge regardless of where it's from and have never had issue with it going off.

I always find asda stuff good and the staff are always pleasant and friendly.

Mine are equal distance in opposite towns so go to either depending on which town I fancy going to (to do other shopping). Quite happy with both so I’m with the ‘easiest parking’ crowd and if you need to do anything else while in town.

Ask the American staff in Walmart about how they have to claim food stamps which can only be spent in Walmart because pay is so low. Borderline indentured servitude. I believe there’s a documentary on the family. Also the family recently removed paid breaks for UK employees.

It’s only our current employment laws stopping the family from going full Walmart in their UK staff.
