With many of struggling to keep costs of our weekly food shop down, it's safe to say that something once considered a simple weekly task, has now been made a difficult one.
I shop at Asda every week, and the average cost of my food bill for two people has shot up by almost £15-£20 a week with the cost of living crisis in full swing. The new Asda 'Just Essentials' budget range has replaced its Smart Price value products offering a range of different foods including meat, bread, eggs, fruit and vegetables, and I thought it was time to give it a try.
To help shoppers combat rising costs, the 'Just Essentials' range is all about lowering the costs of supermarket staples to make our weekly shop less of a shocker. In the past few days, Asda has been criticised by shoppers over the design and colour of the budget range, with some claiming it "embarrassed poorer families."
