I have never tried these Asda Swiss rolls priced at 13p a roll! I've seen them of course on many occasion within the store but always simply dismissed it, till this afternoon when I decided to try one! The Packaging.... Clear, white and lime green plastic tube shaped wrapper which you can see the Swiss roll through. On the front in matching coloured writing I'm told it is Asda 'Smart Price' Raspberry Swiss Roll and that it is suitable for Vegetarians. Other information on the wrapper includes ingredients and allergy advice is along with nutritional values, storage information, contact details for Asda are also listed and finally there is a bar-code ...  Read the complete review

What I love about shopping at Asda is the ever increasing variety of smart priced products. Ever since I was at Uni, my tight budget meant I practically lived off the stuff. With money becoming an every increasing worry in the days of the dreaded 'credit crunch', I find myself reverting to the shopping habits of my student days.

I've always liked swiss roll, it is a very straightforward dessert and is particularly tasty with plenty of jam in the middle. However, having looked around the shops for swiss rolls, I've found that the prices are quite expensive for what you get. Some places can charge up to £1 for a large swiss roll, which is a bit excessive in my opinion. However, Asda have come along with their Smart Price range and produced a swiss roll at a reasonable price.
