Asda Smart Price Jaffa Cakes

We tried the Asda smart price milk chocolate digestives not so long back and they were really nice, so I decided to buy some more biscuits in the smart price range to give them a go. The packaging is the traditional white and green wrapping, it has Jaffa Cakes written in green writing across the packet. It also has a green solid picture of a cup and saucer on the front. The pack contains 12 Jaffa cakes with a soft orange centre and a dark chocolate topping. My daughter had her friend around after school for tea today and after their dinner, I emptied a few out onto a plate and let them help themselves. My daughter is a fan of ...  Read the complete review

It was whilst I was shopping in my local Asda supermarket recently that I decided to purchase some assorted biscuits and snacks for our household. Any regular readers of my reviews will be aware by now that this is not a new shopping habit I have recently developed, and will know by now that I am a huge chocoholic. I selected a few packets of assorted chocolate biscuits and was reaching for a packet of my beloved 'McVities' Jaffa cakes when my eye caught the rather uninspiring-looking packet of Asda Smart price Jaffa cakes. Noticing that the Smart price packaging was a bit plain and boring was nothing new to me as I regularly buy products from this ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this packet of 12 of Asda's Smartprice Jaffa Cakes around 50p which is the long term price. This is a product that I normally buy from Sainsbury's as I love the Basic Jaffa Cakes and you get 24 for 60p, also, they seem to have been reduced to 38p for the last few weeks. The packaging is very basic; a plastic wraper with green & white colouring, nutritional information, company information, barcode etc and the best before date is several months away although there is no danger of them lasting that long with me around! Each jaffa cake contains around 45 calories and 1g fat per jaffa cake so they actually have similar calories to the ...  Read the complete review

I am such a keen lover of Jaffa cakes and can eat a whole box in one sitting very easily. I just love the sweetness and texture of the biscuit and it isn't until I reach for the last biscuit that I realize there is none left. I came across these basics jaffa cakes a little while ago whilst doing my online shop at Asda. I'm not one for buying name brand stuff and will opt for the lower price option. I fancied a munch so went for these at 50p for a pack of 12. I was a bit put out at the price because Sainsbury's do a pack of 24 for around 60p but I was feeling lazy. The jaffa cakes come in a sealed, plastic wrapper which did look cheap and but I was ...  Read the complete review

Of late I have been trying out alot of value type of products. You know the sort... cheap and cheerful shops own brand copies of things. This is out of idol curiosity due to the fact that I don't buy food for my house (living with parents) and am spoiled by the best of everything. However my mate who like me has also up until recently had the best of everything and was financially well off has hit harder times. She's pulled her horns in and gone are all the brands I'm used to seeing like Heinz and Bachelors and Knorr and nowadays her 2 kids are no longer in pampers nappies but shop own ones. Sat there drinking her Asda own tea and munching a packet of economy ...  Read the complete review
