Unfortunately, with my recent visits to Asda I feel that what made Asda great really dropped - mainly the prices. I live closer to the Morrisons superstore in the same town shopping centre and because I don't have a car, my visits to Asda is occasional. However, recently I've visited again to make a big shop and it's definitely not as good as it once was.
~ Atmosphere:
From what I remember, this Asda has gotten really hectic and to be honest hasn't been very good with keeping the place clean. I've seen loads of fallen items on the floor (kitchen rolls, clothes, etc). Maybe this place is now understaffed? Every time I make a visit, a good 50% of a lot of the veggie section are out of stock as well.
~ Prices:
The value you get from Asda has really gone down. They used to be the best for meat shopping with constant deals on they had the most competitive prices around. Now, the deals are rare (and highly limited to certain items). I'd never thought I'd see the day when Morrisons is actually cheaper than Asda now.

There are still some great things about this shop. It has a great selection of clothing and plenty of home essentials (what many grocery stores lack) not to mention it is open 24 hours. If Asda is a more convenient option for you, it definitely does the trick. However, it isn't the haven for glorious deals as it once was. read more
