ASDA itself is not a horrible shop.
Its just the great unwashed who frequent it.
Weird really how the stigma around it has allowed Aldi and Lidl to overtake it.
I do pop in now and then and really like their fresh bread. |

 It's so weird how Asda is seen as a place for commoners yet Aldi and Lidl are seen as the places only intelligent people go to save money. |

I like Asda, I like the cheap and cheerful clothes. I shop wherever I fancy on the day. Mainly Tesco and Morrisons because they are closest to me. Sainsbury's or Asda if I am out and about leisurely. |

I'm quite lucky with regards to supermarkets because I have a Tesco a Sainsbury's, Lidl, Aldi, Asda and Waitrose all within 20 minutes drive.
I just don't buy meat from supermarkets cos it's too expensive, I buy bulk from my butchers. |

I like shopping in Asda but that’s mostly because they do bra’s that fit me and they’re cheap as chips.
Their food shopping delivery sucks donkeyballs though.

I have to agree with you on the bra front. Although they aren't as good quality as I would like, my Asda set has stood the test of time and they have nice designs in my size. |

Not forgetting the jumble sale aisle where you can pick up a raincoat for your kid, a screwdriver set and a flat packed chest of drawers.

"I have the Asda HQ right opposite my office but no actual Asda’s anywhere near work or home. Always quite liked an Asda late night shop."
Been down to Asda House loads of times and stayed in the Jury's Inn near the train station loads !! Many a messy midweek night have I had in Leeds town centre |

I nipped into Asda for a quick shop once.
Never again.
One of the bakery staff was restocking the fresh rolls baskets. Wearing her health and hygiene clothes including the disposable gloves.
She'd stopped work to have a natter with a friend.
Mid conversation she started picking her teeth, still wearing her gloves, then went on to restock the shelves.
I left my trolley in the middle of the shop and left..... |

Good call on the meat, it’s always more flavoursome, you get a better deal and help local traders. I got a pile of meat from the butcher when we were in Wales recently. The mince and lamb chops were to die for.
Strangely the lamb shanks were from New Zealand as farmers here can’t make money from them. How shipping them around the world generates a profit is beyond me!! 
Probably explains why I go to Asda |

Could you generalise a little more?? Maybe it's less to do with the population as a whole and more to do with the snobbery you possess. |

Tesco and Marks doing Sir loins for £3.50
Morrisons do two chicken breasts for £2. As do Tesco.
I find butchers expensive and NOT always better quality.
I find it difficult to find a parking spot on the high street and one of our local butchers is a rude grumpy pick.
At the moment the big guns are doing it for me. Sorry local butchers and their loyal fans. |

Yes do often about 3-4 times a month. Have to drive past all the other supermarkets to get to Asda, as Asda is furthest and next to tesco.
Buy only buy certain own branded products there as better taste than the cheap crap in other stores.
Otherwise the rest of shop is Costco, and one own branded item from Lidl. As alot of very poor own branded products in the others. |

Was thinking more a glass of vino that the guy they have delivered has bought with him.
Mind you don’t like the vinegar they sell there and that could even be a euphemism |

I shop online at ASDA. Tried them all in our area and they are the best for quality and lack of substitutions.
The shop tho...in a really bad area and absolutely hideous to go into! |
