Asda Smartprice Apple Pies

If I told you I’d just bought a pack of six individual apple pies for 37p, what would your initial thoughts be? If you’re very slightly greedy, as I am, then your thoughts probably won’t go any further than the simple ‘apple pie to share’. However, the more cost conscious amongst us might take note of that 37p. I mean, that isn’t a whole lot of money to pay for six apple pies, is it? Mr Kipling sells his apple pies for £1.03 for six in my local asda, so how can these be so cheap? Well, I’m guessing here, but I’d imagine that Asda have cut corners wherever possible, when producing their Smart Price Apple Pies. For example, these apple pies are sat on your ...  Read the complete review

Asda Smartprice apple pies are by far the cheapest apple pies on the shelf at just 36p for 6 little treats. They come packaging in a plastic tray with six holes cut out and covered with celophane which is partly decorated with the white & green Smartprice logo, nutritional information etc. Apple pies, in general, can be heated up or eaten cold and are nice with ice cream or custard but I usually eat mine alone. The apple pie looks quite basic, there is no leaf adorning the top of this pie, it does have a fluted edge & comes within a little foil tray which should avoid too many crumbs getting everywhere although I didn't really find crumbs to be a ...  Read the complete review

Last week we decided to head off to our nearest Asda store to see what Asda `George` had in their sale. Although it can be time consuming working your way through the hundreds of items that they pack onto the sale rails, a good search can often be worth it. I managed to find some Tee shirts for a £1 each. Asda try hard to keep their customer focus by offering cut price groceries, electrical goods and home-ware. It might sound a bit on the mean side but sometimes we make a flask of coffee and take it with us and when we shop we will buy a snack to go with it. It is good to stop on the way home and sit in the car and watch the World go ...  Read the complete review

I bought these for New years eve. It was my son's second birthday and we were throwing a little party for him at lunch time. They cost 36p which I thought was a bargain. You can't go wrong with an apple pie right? Wrong! Firstly we see that packaging is very basic. It's Asda Smartprice so what do you expect? I normally buy a lot of the Smartprice product and have quite a lot of success so I wasn't put off by this as I thought the inside would be a whole different story. ach pie comes in a foil bun case and is slotted into a hole in the plastic wrapping. Normally with an apple pie I cut the lid off with a knife and put some clotted cream inside ...  Read the complete review

If I gave you the choice of buying 6 individual apple pies for £1.05 or buying six individual apple pies for 37p it would be a no brainer right? Well how about if I told you one six pack was made by the very famous MR Kipling and the other was the Asda smart price offering, you would now probably be thinking a bit harder about which to choose right? You should in fact think really hard because whilst the saving of around 70p may seem very appealing, the Asda smart price apple pies are not appealing in the slightest. The casing of the smart price pies is nice but it is what is inside that causes me the problems. Each apple pie had about two chunks of ...  Read the complete review
