Shoppers rush to buy Asda home essential that scans at tills for 50p instead of £16

ASDA shoppers are rushing to buy home essentials that cost just 50p at the supermarket.

The twin packs of duvet sets were originally £16, meaning shoppers can save £15.50 on each one.

The Asda items were shared on in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains group.

The shopper snapped up four of each, meaning she spent just £2.

They were mostly George Home brand sets, which included a few different child theme varieties such as Pinocchio, race cars and cartoonish monsters.

While we couldn’t find one of the exact varieties online that she found, Asda does sell a Peppa Pig example for £16.

Some other similar children’s themes including a Sonic option made by Geroge Home can be found online for the same price as well.

Considering the sets cost £16 each, that would represent savings of more than £60 in the shopper’s case.

Typically, duvet sets can sell anywhere between £10 and £40 depending on the quality.

For example, retailer Dunelm sells a children’s-themed theme pack twin set for a little over £23.

Some shoppers who saw the deal were wowed by it.

One fan in response to the post said: “That’s [a] really good bargain why can’t they do this by me.”

Another said: “Wtf these prices are crazy.”

And a third wrote: “Absolutely no chance in Inverness or Elgin!!!! They never have any of the bargains every other Asda has!!!!”

Unfortunately, the deal appears to be an in-store offering only.

In other words, it’s worth giving your local store a ring beforehand to ask if they have any stock to avoid disappointment.

You can also check in-store if it has a markdown sticker.

For example, the Asda shopper’s finds had yellow a red stickers.

Other ways to save at Asda

There are other things you’ll want to keep in mind to save money at the store.

First, know that Asda has a rewards program.

Once signed up for it, you can scan your digital card through the Asda Rewards app to start earning credits.

If possible, you’ll want to look for the yellow star product icon on the app, as these will give you “Cashpot” boost that’s equal to 10% of the product’s price.

When redeeming, the Cashpot can be converted into vouchers.

To one of the 630-plus Asda locations, you can use its store locator tool.

And as always make sure you compare prices.

This can be done through platforms including Google shopping.
