Get £10 off your next Asda shop

Asda is currently offering a £10 discount to online shoppers provided you spend at least £60. 

To grab it, simply enter the code ASDA10 when checking out and you'll get the amount discounted off your bill.

Do act fast though, as the supermarket is only offering a limited number of vouchers and the promotion will definitely end by 13 October.

Pick up a Christmas Savings Card

Asda's Christmas Savings Card allows you save money on the card and, come 21 November, you'll receive a bonus based upon what you've saved.

If you save just £30, you'll get a £1 bonus; while saving £280 will bag you a healthy £15 bonus, which is a higher effective interest rate than you're likely to get from a savings account.

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.

To save even more, combine your use of the Christmas Savings Card with a cashback credit card; learn more about these here.

Get an Asda Delivery Pass

Asda charges up to £4.50 for grocery deliveries when you order online, 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 (£6 per month for 12 months, recently hiked from £5 per month);
  • Anytime Delivery Pass – 12 months (£72 one-off payment, up from £55);
  • Midweek Delivery Pass – 12 months (Tuesday to Thursday for £35, up from £24).

The six-month passes (either £6 per month or a £35 one-off payment) are not on sale at the time of publication. 

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 checkout, but you'll be charged the price of your chosen delivery slot.

Consider the Asda Smart Price range

You could also find savings by shopping Asda's own-brand value range, Asda Smart Price, instead of buying expensive branded goods.

Products include breakfast, lunch box essentials, ready meals, snacks and desserts.

The Smart Price range promises to make the most out of every penny and all food is free from artificial colours, flavours and hydrogenated fat.

If customers aren't 100% happy, the Smart Price team tweak the recipe and some products will have an 'improved recipe' message on the packaging.

Join the Asda Baby & Toddler Club

Parents are able to join the Asda Baby & Toddler Club for free.

By signing up, you'll receive regular newsletters which gives advice, inspiration and parenting resources from conception to birth and upwards.

You'll also get details about Baby & Toddler events, where you can snap up offers, savings and great prices on a range of popular products.

You'll receive specially selected offers straight to your inbox, handy tips about weaning and toddler development and information about the Little Angels range, which is quality approved by Mumsnet.

Use cashback websites

If you're using Asda online for the first time, you can earn cashback on your first order by using a cashback website like My Money Pocket, Quidco and TopCashback.

You just need to register for one of these sites, click on the tracked Asda links and do your shopping as normal. Cashback will then be paid into your account once your purchase is verified.

While offers are normally reserved for first-time customers, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye out for ones that might apply to existing customers too.
