Shoppers are rushing to a major supermarket as they give away a key Christmas dinner ingredient for free. Asda has decided to put a smile on customers' faces just hours before the big day – but that's only if you love a certain vegetable.
Free Sprouts at Asda
The supermarket giant is trying to flog their sprouts this Christmas Eve. Workers have labeled the love or hate food as "free," urging shoppers on their last-minute food shops to stock up their trolleys. A post shared to a bargain hunters Facebook group shared a picture of the stock with the caption: "Free Sprouts Spotted At Asda."
Surprising Reaction
Stores that the freebie has been spotted in include Bristol, Romford, Weston-super-Mare, Dundee, and potentially more. The post racked up hundreds of comments from Brits shocked that so many packets of sprouts needed to be offloaded – despite them being controversial. One user commented: "The best part of the meal. I could eat them every day," while another agreed: "I love sprouts."
A third wrote: "Looks like they can't even give them away. I love them though." Another person joked: "I STILL wouldn't eat them."
