Tips for Success

  • Asda's own-brand chicken breast is competitively priced and available in large packs. Buy 1.5–2 kg at once and freeze what you do not use in the first two days.
  • Asda frozen vegetables are outstanding value. The 1 kg frozen mixed vegetable bags cost around 75–95p and are nutritionally equivalent to fresh.
  • Asda's Rollback deals frequently apply to eggs, chicken, and dairy — check the app or website before shopping to time your purchase well.
  • Asda Greek yogurt is available in both standard and 0% fat versions. Opt for the 0% fat version to maximise protein and keep calories low.
  • Asda sells microwave rice pouches (90-second) which are useful for fast weeknight dinners. Use the standard brown rice bag for batch cooking to save money per serving.
