Meal prep at Asda
Typically the cheapest of the big four on a like-for-like basket, with a genuinely low economy tier.
What it does well
- Just Essentials is usually the lowest-priced option in its category, which suits very cheap weeks.
- Large multipack meat and frozen ranges that suit bulk batch cooking.
- Good value on rice, pasta, oats and tinned pulses — the backbone of a budget prep plan.
Worth knowing
- Just Essentials lines sell out quickly and availability is inconsistent.
- Rewards pays into a wallet rather than reducing the shop at the till, so it will not lower this week's bill.
