Asda Smart Price Strawberry Jam

I eat a lot of bread and toast and am always looking for cheap products that i can buy and munch on that wont be full of fat and that wont break the bank either. I was in Asda a while ago and came across their product, Asda Smart Price Strawberry Jam. It comes in a glass jam pot and a jar is 454 grams in total. I was blown away mainly by the price. The jar of jam cost a complete bargain price of 38p! I thought that this was very cheap as i usually buy Hartleys jam which is my favourite and this costs me over a pound a jar. The packaging of the jam is not very exciting looking. Its slightly different to the Dooyoo picture above. The main ...  Read the complete review

I was not really impressed with this jam at all. I'm not a great jam eater anyway, the only time I really have jam is on an occasion like tonight, when I have some rice pudding or if I'm using it between two layers on a cake.

Review of Asda Smart Price Strawberry Jam Please note that the image supplied by dooyoo is out of date, Smart Price items are now packaged slightly differently. **The Product** A basic jam from Asda's Smart Price budget range, this strawberry jam is a winner in my opinion. The jam is presented in a plain glass jar with a white screw top lid. The labelling is very plain and basic, as with all Smart Price products, simple packaging is the norm. Nutritional values and ingredients are found on the right hand side of the white label, the product name and description on the front and the Asda company ...  Read the complete review

It was whilst I was shopping in my local Asda supermarket that I had decided to buy some jam or marmalade for my morning toast. It didn't take too long to quickly sum up that my usual - and preferred - brand of Jam was not the best value option available for me to buy. I quickly noted that by switching my usual brand for the Asda Smart Price brand, I could save around 70 pence on my total shopping bill. The Asda Smart Price jar of jam was available for the brilliant little sum of 38 pence. The jar, whilst relatively uninspiring, is a generous size - 454g. I would point out for the purposes of this review that the packaging is slightly different ...  Read the complete review

We don't eat that much strawberry jam in our house, we are more Marmite or marmalade people, but from time to time I get a request for crumpets or toast with strawberry jam. This happens very occasionally, so an open jar usually sits around in the fridge for ages until it eventually forms a layer of mould. Because of this, I really don't want to pay very much for Jam, so I thought that I would give Asda Smartprice Strawberry Jam a chance, as it comes in at a reasonable 38p for 454g. The picture above shows how the jam used to look. It now comes with the familiar green and white label with a picture of a single strawberry on the front - quite apt ...  Read the complete review
