‘Wow, brilliant find’ people say as shopper shows off 70p laundry haul with buys slashed to a quarter of normal price
A SHOPPER has been praised for sharing their haul after nabbing laundry essentials for a quarter of the normal price in Asda.
The thrifty person took to Facebook to post about their epic find, after a trip to their local supermarket.
In a post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on the social media site, they shared a snap of the purchases and reveal the discount they got at the till.
“I just picked these up in Asda,” they wrote.
They then revealed they’d paid £1 each for the boxes of Fairy laundry pods – usually £4.50 a pop, and big bottles of Lenor for just 70p.
Also in their spree was two bottles of the ASDA Pure Cotton Sensitive Fabric Softener, which they got for 68p each rather than £2.48.
And other jealous shoppers took to the comments section to weigh in on the person’s find, with one writing: “Wowsas, brilliant find!”
“Bloody hell, never that cheap near me!” another sighed.
“I wish this would happen to me lol, never EVER does!” a third insisted.
“I really wanna get to my Asda but then I don’t ever get good bargains.” someone else moaned.
“Some people are lucky!” another pointed out.
“Well done!” someone else said.
“I got some a week or so ago, but not that cheap. Shared them with family as I bought a lot.”
“Bargain, there at the right time!” another raved.
However, others accused the bargain hunter of “telling porkies”.
“I went Asda last night and they were normally priced at our Asda,” one wrote.
To which another added: “She’s telling the truth.
“I got some today in Asda for £1, I bought all and made the worker get the rest from the top shelf… it was the Bold ones though.”
How to save at Asda
Shop the budget range
Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.
She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.
“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.
Sign up to Asda Rewards
The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.
She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.
“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.
“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.

Look out for booze deals
Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
“It is in our store as well, it’s all deleted lines,” someone else said.
“They went down last week at my store,” another added.
“The colleagues had most of them so might be the same in other stores.
“Doesn’t get a chance to go out on the shop floor!”
