THE humble air fryer is the most coveted kitchen gadget of recent years.
They’re great for saving on electricity, produce lower-calorie meals than traditional frying with oil and are ideal for roasting Sunday dinner veg in a rush.
But with some branded gadgets costing well into triple digits, Brits across the country were looking for budget options.
That’s until now.
One shopper has unearthed the highly-sought after Ninja 3.8L Air Fryer and Dehydrator in her local Asda for just £37.49.
It was originally priced at an eye-watering £149.99.
Ninja air fryers are the dream gadget for millions of Birts.
They’re hailed the “King of Air Fryers” in Facebook groups and regarded highly for their longevity, sustainability credentials and compact design.
Melissa Brookes took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to boast about her Asda find.
Fellow foodies were quick to congratulate her and describe the cheap Ninja 3.8L Air Fryer find as “amazing”.
“Wow, now that is definitely a bargain,” Sylvia Dunai commented.
“Our Asda is rubbish, they never have bargains like this,” Janet Scoles moaned.
“Will be only at the store,” Em Cairns theorised.
“The yellow sticker reason was damaged box.”
Melissa also nabbed a Russell Hobbs Turbo Lite Pro 5 in 1 hoover in the yellow sticker section of her Asda.
This cleaning gadget was just £18, down from £45 – and it’s currently still full-price on the George at Asda website.
“Wow…. I have been looking at these as I can’t do big hoovers,” Sheila Roberts commented.
“Wow, good bargain there,” William Wilkinson echoed.
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.”
