Which Is Cheaper Asda or Tesco
Let’s talk own brands, because that’s where the real savings live. Tesco has its “Tesco Everyday Value” range, which is basically the supermarket’s way of saying, “Yes, we know you’re broke.” Asda has “Smart Price,” which looks like it was designed by a robot who only saw a can of beans once.
Price-wise, they’re almost identical. A dozen eggs, a loaf of bread, milk—these staples cost within pennies of each other. I once bought a tin of tomatoes from both, and the difference was 1p. Yes, one penny. That’s not a price war; that’s a polite disagreement.
But here’s the trick: Asda often wins on bulk buys. If you’re feeding a family of four or just really, really love beans, Asda’s larger pack sizes usually undercut Tesco. Tesco, however, has better deals on its “Finest” range. So if you want cheap and fancy, Tesco edges ahead.
