PARENTS are being urged check their Asda app in order to bag a bargain on nappies.
Bargain hunters could pick up some freebie Pampers nappies when out doing their weekly shop, which would mean quite a decent saving.
One canny saver spotted the giveaway while at their local store and went online to spread the word.
Taking to Facebook’s Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group they wrote: “Always get the free items on your app. Even if you don’t need them someone does. Asda free nappies on Asda rewards. Hope this helps.”
To convince any doubters that the offer was genuine they posted a photo of the nappies along with their receipt showing they had saved £7.98.
Other members hopped on to the post to confirm they’d also managed to save.
One person wrote: “Got mine yesterday.”
While another added: “I did this also.”
Although it seems that not everyone can get the offer.
Another member of the group said: “Not on mine.”
And a fourth person wrote: “I never get anything on the Asda rewards app.”
While another person posted: “I’ve not got it on mine.”
Other kind-hearted people who had taken advantage of the offer but didn’t need them said they had donated the nappies to a food bank.
However, Asda has found itself in hot water due to a glitch in its app which saw some shoppers see their Christmas vouchers disappear.
The Christmas Saver Cashpot allows customers to save the rewards they have earned throughout the year to spend over the festive period.
But savers have reported that their vouchers have expired – weeks before the big day.
A message in the Asda app said: “We are aware of an issue with cashpot expiring from some Christmas Savers.
How to save at Asda
Shop the budget range
Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.
She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.
“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.
Sign up to Asda Rewards
The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.
She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.
“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.
“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.

Look out for booze deals
Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
“There is no need to contact us, we are working on a fix.
“Apologies for any inconvenience.”
There is some good news for any Asda shopper aged 60 or over with the supermarket starting a budget-friendly deal.
The winter warmer café deal is available for just £1 and includes a hot meal and unlimited drinks.
First introduced in November 2022, the scheme has returned each year due to popular demand.
