I'd say the difference is negligible. Both supermarkets offer basically the same range of products at pretty similar prices.

I find Tesco's standard prices generally tend to be dearer but they have the Clubcard and more 2 for 1 offers. I find Asda own brand stuff is generally better quality, especially the 'chosen by you' range.

I find Asda to be cheaper but it will very much depend on what kind of stuff you buy I guess.

Asda always seems to be cheaper, but their delivery service is abysmal. Plus you get clubcard points with Tesco.

Asda guarantees to be 10% cheaper than Tesco (and the other big supermarkets), or you get the difference back in vouchers.

I find Tesco are usually more expensive, and their own-brand products aren't as nice.
I've also found that pretty much all supermarkets have raised their prices since the start of the year, but Tesco more than the others on the stuff I buy. Their own-brand products are certainly not just the same stuff in different packaging, and I like the taste of Asda's rather than Tesco, especially many (but not all) of Asda's Extra Special range, often abbreviated to "ES". I've also noticed over the years that it's rare to get an Asda snob. People who go there just go there. But there's a certain kind of Tesco shopper who behaves like they're going to Waitrose and irrationally looks down their noses at other supermarkets. I really don't understand what it is about Tesco that attracts this kind of person. As I say, it's not as though they're Waitrose or another elitist brand. It's like a Debenhams shopper being snobby about John Lewis when they're hardly going to Harrods themselves. Oh, and I find the staff in Asda far friendlier and approachable than the larger stores of Tesco. Not so much with Tesco Express. But the supervisors and management in larger Tesco stores are universally like contestants off The Apprentice. My only complaints about Asda are the same as any supermarket. A high number of chavs in the early afternoon and far too packed with horribly long queues on Saturdays after 9am. |

Whenever I've done the supermarket comparisons for stuff I actually buy the main ones differ by a penny here or a penny there. Like a few have said I think the supermarket price war is marketing and precious little substance.

If people did that more often, they'd find much bigger savings than simply comparing one large weekly shop at Asda to the same stuff at Tesco. |
