Asda

Well, its a supermarket.
A big one.
And it’s open 24 hours.
Personnel not always the quickest but friendly. We had a few issues with products, for example there being a discount on the price on the shelves, but not at the cash register. However at the cash register she wouldnt offer to have it checked out or so.
Had a few things like that over there, not a big deal but never happened to me at Tesco/​Sainsburys…
Still, 24 hours, and they’re also very helpful and quick with returns.
Would go much more often if it was closer.

LARGE, SPACIOUS, 24h OPENING TIME, WELL STOCKED…
I have not been to Asda a lot of times, as normally it is too big for me and crowded. However, recently I made the discovery of 24h shopping and it is so convenient to go there after 10 clock at night and shop what you need without being disturbed.
This Asda is massive and you can get food, clothing, appliances, pharmacy, coffee shop, electronics, toilets… and not to mention all the offers!
Asda is well known for offering the best price amongst all the supermarkets!
Ample space of parking is available.
If you do not have a car the 35 bus will take you close to the location.

This is the Supermarket where I got most of my groceries over the past two weeks while in Edinburgh.
It’s open 24 hours so I usually come about 7−8pm.
I’ve noticed that there are sales here and there. Usually with the fruits and yogurt.

I have used the online shopping service many times and find it fantastic. Everything has been in date and no spillage or breakages. One time the delivery guy phoned me to say he was running late, all delivery guys are friendly and helpful. Perhaps not always happy with subbed items, but they try their best.

I love this Asda. And its even better with added the petrol station :)
Location wise its perfect, can be pretty busy, but not horrendously so and the queues aren’t that bad.
It has a good range of products, including lots of deals on branded products and the availability is pretty good as there is nothing worse than trekking to the supermarket and finding empty shelves.
The gluten free range isn’t great — the best range in the Slateford/​Gorgie area is Sainsbury, but there is a good range of basics and some great frozen options.
Supermarkets are fairly generic but as this one goes, its pretty darn good…

theres a good reason we have no fishmongers, butchers and stores that employed people, valued customers and had a community presence. the fact that this place has a macdonalds is even more reason to bring a flask and some real food.

This ASDA is epic. It’s massive. And I’m lucky enough to be living just down the road from it.
There’s a great produce section, loads of variety for most products and prices are wallet-​friendly. I really have to restrain myself from filling my basket with odds and ends that I don’t really need «because it’s so cheap!» There are like twelve sorts of pâté and ready-​to-​eat Indian curry with rice under £4 that’s a full dinner for two (or two dinners for one if you’re greedy). Good by me.

Despite the lack of clams, this Asda still delivers on almost every level. There’s nothing better than a good wander round a massive supermarket, picking up snacks and sundries you don’t want or need, and while I tend to prefer Tesco on this front, Asda is still a more than worthy competitor.
It’s hard to walk past the deli counter or those rotating cooked chickens without being overcome by the temptation to gorge, and the deals you can find on DVDs books and games sometimnes have to be seen to be believed. Tremendous.

A ²⁴⁄₇ ASDA? Yes please! I have this really strange habit of aimlessly walking around huge supermarket such as ASDA and Tesco, I don’t know why but I could actually spend hours just walking about looking at the wares. It’s always more fun later in the evening when it’s not so choc-​a-​block and I can browse the CD and DVD section without pushing past crowds of other shoppers.
This ASDA is huge and has everything you could ever need from a weekly shop including electronics and home ware too. The only thing they don’t stock is tinned clams, I know this because I searched high and low my last visit before being told they were discontinued. Who discontinues clams?
I was also very pleased to find a brand new camera here a few weeks ago. My old camera was terrible and you had to stand as still as a statue otherwise the pictures would blur. I bagged myself a new Fujifilm camera for £43 and it comes with a 1 years guarantee too! Bargain!
The one bad thing about ASDA is the self checkout section. «Unexpected item in bagging area»… NO THERE’S NOT!

This Asda, like every other Asda in the country is huge. It’s open 24 hours which is super handy when you get the midnight munchies. And conveniently located next to the Corn Exchange so you can fall out of a gig and in here.
I like a trip to Asda purely because they stock everything and they do it very cheaply. As a Sainsburys shopper, I appreciate that Asda offers an own brand alternative for just about everything so on those poor days you can still afford to eat.

This is one of the only ²⁴⁄₇ supermarkets I’m aware of in Edinburgh, and I practically live here. As odd as it sounds, I prefer to do my food shopping after midnight because it’s really quiet and I can take my time. This particular Asda is huge, it even has a McDonalds, and is brilliant because you can get absolutely anything you want. I was looking for wheat-​free flour and my first stop was this Asda and it delivered.
The only thing about shopping here after midnight is the tills — they are all closed and you have to use the self-​service ones. But if you’re normal, unlike me, then this shouldn’t be a problem.

Very big ASDA supermarket. Offers wide variety of products in great prices. You will find here absolutely everything, food related products, clothes, electronics, household products, music, dvds. It is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, which makes it easy to make shopping anytime you want. It does have a large parking for cars, so you dont need to worry about that. There is always someone around if you need any help or you looking for something. Members of staff are always friendly and helpful. You can also find postal office and McDonalds in store, which makes it easier to get more things done at one place.

A good place to go to at any time of the day. This is a really big store and open 24 hours. It has all your groceries and some clothing, it also has a macdonalds, so if your hungry you can just pop in there. There are plenty of friendly staff around.

Excellent store if you want to be able to go any time of the day or night. Never too busy and plenty of friendly helpful staff around. George section is a good size with always some things on ‘sale’.
Just wish the toys section was bigger as one half aisle is just not enough for a good supermarket.
Plenty offers always on in the groceries and go in the early evening to grab a whole range of reduced items.
mcdonalds and post office on site. Mcdonalds now open to 11pm. Coinstar machine, photo booth, lottery, photo shop. No pharmacy unfortunately.
Never tried the home shopping myself but I see the pickers in the aisles and vans out and about all the time.
Good friendly store and have a laugh at the three o clock rumble everyday

This ASDA is very large and has a MacDonalds which is very handy indeed. They don’t have a very big selection of George clothing, but they do have a large selection of TV’s and AV equipment. The instore bakery is great. They ring the bell when the new bread comes out. The large carpark gets a hammering when there’s a gig on at the Corn Exchange.
It’s not 24 hour like Portobello ASDA and doesn’t have petrol

I love Asda, The Jewel. It’s a huge hypermarket with loads of ‘departments’ and choice.
The clothing section is massive and there are many bargains to be had.
The staff are friendly and extremely helpful.
One of my favourite stores to visit.

It’s got most of what you could want and is open 24hours. Unfortunately, unless you do want to go at 3am, it’s going to be busy and I’m not good with todler tantrums

This Asda is great, you can get everything you need and usually for a bout a tenner cheaper than anywhere else.
I would say however that if you are shopping on line be careful a few things I have received have been damaged or very near the sell by date, also they are quite often late.
Having said that they are always freindly and do their best to make it up to you and what I like best is that if they don’t have the good requested but have a simular product which is more expensive, Asda pick up the difference.
Also with the delivery cost being about £2.00 cheaper than others the savings just keep coming.

I really like this asda and do my monthly shop there all the time. The store is really well laid out and there is always an adequate amount of staff around to help if you need anything. The queues at the cash points are never too long and if they are they open a new checkout for you.
They have great offers on buy one gte one frees and price cuits but in general I find their prices sooooo much cheaper than any of the other major supermarkets.
They also have a MCDonald’s on site which is handy for any hunger pangs when shopping!
I have used the home delivery a few times and it has always been concise and on time!

I am not one to complain but after the shocking service I have just recieved from Asda home delivery, I felt I had to. My order was placed on Mon 5^th Nov to be delivery betweent 6 – 8 Friday the 9^th Nov nothing had arrived by 8pm so I called the 0845 helpdesk line and was assured my delivery was on it’s way. At 8.45 pm (the last delivery is at 9) I called again and was assured «they are just running late and will be there any minute». By 11 nothing so I tried to ring again and guess what closed though the money had been taken out of my account.
Saturday I missed my lie in and got up to phone Asda again and was appologised to and told my shopping was on it’s way, but as the delivery slots are two hours I could wait until 11. 12 oclock guess what no shopping so I phoned the store again when I was told it’s on it’s way AGAIN! by 3.30 I had sat in most of the day and still had no shopping so I rather irately called again and finally got to speak to a manger and was tols it would definitely be there any minute and a credit was given to me for my 24 hours of inconvenience, which is fair enough.
However when at 4, I had my shopping… see you thought I was going to say no shopping, three of the yoghurts were exploded, half the fabric softener was spilled in the bag, my blck pudding was apple sausage and my haggis was vegitarian! I have to say I went mad, I had already had a credit so they couldn’t do that so they gave me free delivery next time I shop with Asda… Yeah right like that is ging to happen.
