| Compare | Asda | Tesco |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Budget weekly grocery shops | UK weekly grocery shops |
| Who it's not for | Shoppers wanting premium fresh produce | Anyone outside UK/Ireland delivery zones |
| Privacy | Consumer site with a patched 2016 payment flaw and 2024 breach warnings; no critical CVEs for Asda itself (ASDA-Soft CVEs are unrelated Delta Electronics software).⁸ | Multiple historical incidents (2014, 2016, 2021); no new breach evidence in the sources reviewed. |
| Support quality | Charging errors and service complaints dominate reviews | Only review counts found, no service detail |
| Public sentiment | Shoppers praise low prices but repeatedly flag fresh produce quality, charging errors, and poor service.¹ | Shoppers value the range and delivery convenience but repeatedly complain that prices feel volatile, rising, and Clubcard-dependent. |
| Biggest gotcha | Customers report being charged incorrectly in-store and online; check receipts carefully.11 | Breach history: Tesco Bank 2016, Clubcard accounts, 2021 hack attempt |
