I did part of my weekly shop at Asda last week as I was passing one and I like Asda a lot. As I was in need of crumpets and I enjoyed the Sainsbury's own brand ones that I had, I picked up a pack of Asda Smartprice Crumpets x 6 for 35p. They come in a very plain see through plastic wrapper that has the label printed onto it. The front label is green and white, just like the rest of the Smartprice range, and contains just the name of the product. The rear of the pack has all of the product information on it. Each crumpet is quiet reasonably sized, at 1cm thick and 8cm in diameter, however compared to more expensive crumpets, it looks like they have been ...  Read the complete review

I shop wherever the offers are. ASDA often have the cheapest prices though so I do tend to go back to ASDA a lot for their cheaper products. ASDA have a value brand called smart price which offers everyday products at affordable prices. The only downside to this is that the packaging is very plain and the products can sometimes be of a lower quality than premium brands. I buy a lot of products from the smart price, more so since the credit crunch. I have tried a lot of products and overall find then to be of a reasonable quality, some are great and some not so good. Smartprice crumpets are one of the better products from the range. I have ...  Read the complete review

You can't beat crumpets for breakfast with lots of melted butter, we usually have the Warburtons ones. Last time we were in Asda I picked up a packet of smart price crumpets, these were 35p for six, so substantially cheaper than our usual ones. They are packaged in a clear plastic wrapper showing the white and green smart price colour scheme, the crumpets are sat in a cardboard tray which I guess stops them getting broken and squashed. These are much thinner than other crumpets I have had, they were also smaller in diameter as well. If you look at them closer though, they are as you would expect, they have the holes all over the top and are a nice ...  Read the complete review

I've been buying these for quite a while as I love to have a couple of crumpets for breakfast as a nice change to the usual toast or cereal that I have. These do look like what you'd expect value crumpets to look like - very thin and flimsy and quite small compared to other brands of crumpets. They're very soft though so they're not at all dry especially after putting butter on them. The butter melts into them really well and, because they're quite thin, they don't need to be completely coated in spread. Strawberry jam is my favourite topping to put on these and it makes them taste lovely and sweet and moist. Because they're thin though that does ...  Read the complete review

Well a crumpet is a crumpet as far as I'm concerned, I have tried many different varieties in the past and the only difference I have found is that the Asda crumpets are slightly thinner than a more expensive crumpet. However at just 35p for a pack of 6 I am really not bothered about a few millimeters! Ingredients (very accurate, the list is taken from the product information at www.asda.co.uk): Wheat Flour , Water , Raising Agents (Sodium Bicarbonate, Diphosphates) , Spirit Vinegar , Yeast , Salt , Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid) , Preservative (Potassium Sorbate) . There are 129 calories and 0.9g of fat per 2 crumpets. ...  Read the complete review
