Get £10 off your next online shop
Asda is offering customers a £10 discount on their next online grocery shop.
These discounts are usually reserved for new customers, so its nice to see a supermarket extending that offer to everyone.
As always, there is some fine print to be aware of: you'll need to spend at least £50 to qualify for the discount.
If you are interested, you'd best get your skates on: it's only available to the first 60,000 customers and the deal launched on Saturday.
To take advantage, you just need to enter the code ASDA10OFF at the point of checkout, and the discount will be applied (assuming it is still available).
If you happen to miss out, or simply don't like doing online shops, there are many more ways you can save when perusing the aisles at Asda, which we'll get into next.
Cashback tip #1: sign up to Asda Rewards
Asda Rewards is a good way for shoppers to earn a little something back when they spend at the supermarket.
By scanning the app every time you shop, you can build up your ‘cashpot’.
It’s essentially a cashback balance that can then be used in Asda down the line to reduce the size of your shopping bill.
‘Cashpot’ rewards can be earned in two main ways. The first is by purchasing ‘star products’, where you get 10% of the product’s price added to your cashpot.
There are also ‘milestone missions’ that you can complete for further cashpot additions.
These missions will vary and could cover spending a certain amount in a particular department or spending a minimum amount over a series of visits.
The scheme is free to join, so it’s got to be worth a try for regular and even occasional Asda shoppers.
Cashback tip #2: use a cashback website
Some of the big cashback sites, like Topcashback and Quidco, pay cashback when you spend with Asda through them.
For example, at Topcashback, you can currently get 4% cashback on appliances and toys at Asda.
You just need to register for one of these sites, click on the tracked Asda links and do your shopping as usual.
Cashback will then be paid into your account once your purchase is verified.
While offers are sometimes reserved for first-time customers, they may also be available to existing shoppers.
Pick up a Christmas Savings Card
It may only be Spring, but the earlier you start saving up for Christmas 2024 the better.
The Asda Christmas Savings Card allows you to save money on the card and, come November, you'll receive a bonus based upon what you've saved.
If you save £30, you'll get a £1 bonus; while saving £280 will bag you a healthy £15 reward.
You can load money onto the card at the checkout; an easy way to do this is simply rounding up your bill, or you can top it up online.
Make sure to register your card online so you still have access to your money if you lose the card.
Also, keep in mind that the card balance can only be spent at Asda and that the scheme isn't FSCS protected, so you would lose your money in the unlikely event the supermarket went under.
Get a Delivery Pass
Asda charges up to £7 for each online grocery delivery, but you can save with the Asda Delivery Pass.
You are allowed to order as many deliveries as you might need for a set monthly or annual price, plus you have access to peak-time delivery slots at no extra cost.
Delivery Pass options include:
- Anytime Delivery Pass – 12 months (£65 one-off payment);
- Midweek Delivery Pass – 12 months (Tuesday to Thursday for £39.50 one-off payment).
You can also opt to pay for them monthly, in which case they cost £6.95 a month for the anytime pass and £3.95 a month for the midweek pass.
The delivery pass comes with a savings guarantee. Asda promises if the pass doesn’t save you more than standard delivery charges, you’ll receive an eVoucher for the difference.
Don’t forget to spend a minimum of £40 each time you use your pass. If your shop is below the minimum spend you can still check out, but you'll be charged the price of your chosen delivery slot.

Try Asda’s Just Essentials range
Asda relaunched its budget range last year with the new name of Just Essentials.
It’s a no-frills range, but it can work out substantially cheaper than going for the pricier, branded alternatives.
