Asda Superstore

Unfortunately, with my recent visits to Asda I feel that what made Asda great really dropped — mainly the prices. I live closer to the Morrisons superstore in the same town shopping centre and because I don’t have a car, my visits to Asda is occasional. However, recently I’ve visited again to make a big shop and it’s definitely not as good as it once was.
~ Atmosphere:
From what I remember, this Asda has gotten really hectic and to be honest hasn’t been very good with keeping the place clean. I’ve seen loads of fallen items on the floor (kitchen rolls, clothes, etc). Maybe this place is now understaffed? Every time I make a visit, a good 50% of a lot of the veggie section are out of stock as well.
~ Prices:
The value you get from Asda has really gone down. They used to be the best for meat shopping with constant deals on they had the most competitive prices around. Now, the deals are rare (and highly limited to certain items). I’d never thought I’d see the day when Morrisons is actually cheaper than Asda now.

There are still some great things about this shop. It has a great selection of clothing and plenty of home essentials (what many grocery stores lack) not to mention it is open 24 hours. If Asda is a more convenient option for you, it definitely does the trick. However, it isn’t the haven for glorious deals as it once was.

Really good value offers, however, this is not exclusive to Cwmbran store as Asda is nationwide. The Asda store has a good George Clothing and Home departments which is on an upper level (installed during a refit last year). This freed up extra space to enlarge the ‘Electricals’ department. The store is part of Cwmbran Shopping, there for it has free parking and is situated next to the high street shops.
The car park however does suffer from Vandalism and youths tend to hang around outside the store entrance trying to buy cigarettes and alcohol on weekends which can get a bit intimating for shoppers!

Large superstore which has recently been extended upwards.
Parking can be a bit of a problem in Cwmbran so we try to visit later in the evening when it’s not so busy. At least the parking in Cwmbran is free — which is a welcome bonus.
Loads of special offers & defo. cheaper than their opposition.
Always have plenty of good offers on things other than foodstuffs — thanks to their Walmart connection.
If you find a great offer it’s best to buy it when you see it as often the next time you visit it’s gone.
24 hour shopping — ideal for insomniacs!
