The latest reductions follow a £35m investment to reduce the price of over 600 items in July and August, bringing the total Asda has spent on lowering prices to £44m since the start of the summer period.
According to the grocer’s Income Tracker, more than 60% of households saw their disposable incomes fall in August compared to a year earlier.
Asda chief commercial officer, Kris Comerford, said: “While the recent fall in inflation is welcome news, the average UK household is almost £80 per month worse off compared to two years ago, according to our latest Income Tracker data.
“This is the third price drop campaign we have launched in the last four months to support our customers, and our investment is focused on lowering the prices of popular products that make up the core weekly shop.”
He added: “We’re also continuing to work closely with our suppliers and whenever there are further opportunities to pass on commodity price savings to customers we will do so.”
A suspected drug dealer from Arnold has been arrested after police found business cards suggesting he’d been selling drugs using Snapchat.
The 17-year-old was stopped by patrolling officers who spotted him acting suspiciously in Nottingham city centre in the early hours of Thursday, October 5.
Officers searched him and found a quantity of cannabis along with cash and three mobile phones.
They arrested him on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug after business cards with a Snapchat code (pictured, above) were also found in his pockets, which depicted a baby angel in green holding a spliff.
He was detained in Peachy Street shortly before 2.30am and taken into custody.
His home address in Daybrook was searched a short time later and officers found more evidence of drug dealing.
He was further arrested in custody on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
The boy was released on bail pending further inquiries.
PC Jack Cook, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Targeting drug dealers remains one of our key priorities because of the harm they cause to local communities.
“We will never tolerate dealers using our streets to sell drugs and our policing teams will continue to seek out those involved in drug-related crime.
“We want people to feel safe in Nottingham and that is why we will not hesitate to take robust action against anyone who brings drugs onto the streets.”
“Educating young people around the dangers of drugs is also a key focus and we work closely with our partner agencies to that end.”
A furniture firm is set to cut the ribbon on a new store on Gedling‘s ‘booming’ high street following a move from Bulwell.
The Times Furniture Company will open their new store at 94A Main Road following a deal completed by commercial property specialists NG Chartered Surveyors.
The outlet will sell various items of high-quality furniture for every room in the house.
NG Chartered Surveyors acted for a private landlord on the deal and it marks the second High Street deal in succession for NG surveyor Alicia Lewis.
Alicia said: “Gedling is booming at the moment and it was a pleasure to broker a second deal in the Nottingham suburb in quick succession.
“The expansion of The Times Furniture Company shows that the high street is far from dead – indeed, with the right offering then quality independents can not only survive, but thrive.
“This is a great deal for all concerned, not least our private landlord client who has now secured a high-quality tenant for a prominent unit in the centre of Gedling.
Alicia added: “I wish The Times Furniture Company all the best in their new home.”

HS2 cash better spent on Matlock train over tram
I read on your site that plans to bring the tram to Gedling could be back on using HS2 money now that the Northern part of the route has been scrapped.
For me, spending money on this white elephant is a waste of time. We have a perfectly good bus services to the city so I do not see the point in spending millions on a tram.
Instead of a tram, I would urge Gedling MP Tom Randall to talk to those in Westminister and request that the money is used to bring back direct trains from Carlton Station to Matlock Bath.
Not all of us drive and the direct trains to the picturesque town were a Godsend in the summer holidays for parents like me.
The reason the service was underused was because it was not publicised. Some of this money could be spent on a marketing campaign to let people in Gedling know they have a train on their doorstep taking them directly to the beautiful Peak District.
I completely agree with the points raised by your columnist Graham Finch about bikes on pavements. They are a hazard.
When will the councils take this problem seriously? We have all these council wardens walking around towns in Gedling borough but they seem more interested in parking issues. Let’s put these council workers to good use and have them stopping these cyclists using our pavements, thus making our town centres safer for pedestrians.
Surely such a move would make shoppers feel safer and boost trade in our town centres?
Local green campaigners seem to think that the wind generation as the answer to all our prayers. Therefore I wonder if any of them will be kind enough to explain where the electricity will come from on a cold, icy and windless day in the winter please.
I am very eager to find out, as I am sure other readers are as well! I look forward to a straight forward answer removing my concerns and anxiety about winter chills.

At Church Lane, on the opening game of the season, Linby were beaten 4-2 by visitors Teversal, in the return fixture, less than ten weeks later, and more drama ensued as seven more goals were netted, this time Linby coming out on top.
Victory at the Tomlin Personnel Park saw Matt Perberday’s side stretch their current, unbeaten run to four matches (three wins and a draw in all competition), as they moved up to tenth in the Central Midlands Alliance South.
It would be the visiting Linby that would open the evenings’ scoring, Mason Moore netting after ten minutes to keep up their recent form of netting early on in games; a great move involving a trio of players in Sean Craven, Mitchell Slawson and Dylan Walker was eventually squared for Moore to finish past Joe Parker in the home goal from ten yards out. Midway through the opening half and the hosts fashioned out a great chance to equalise when a free-kick reached Max Curzon and his subsequent volley towards goal was saved well by Will Wass; had they equalised, things may have been different but, ten minutes before the break, Linby doubled their advantage when Moore and Ewan Gibson combined, however, a foul inside the box resulted in Tim Lewis pointing to the spot, Alex Paterson obliging with the finish.
The hosts did halve the deficit just before interval, Linby failing to deal with a cross and Ben Denton was on hand to finish past Wass, the visitors going in 2-1 to the good at the break.
A matter of minutes after the restart and Peberday’s side restored their two-goal advantage when Moore crossed well for Walker, and he laid the ball nicely for Paterson to fire home his second, and Linby’s third of the evening, from the edge of the box and into Parker’s bottom corner.
In an end-to-end classic, both sides kept on coming and, on the hour mark, Teversal wedged themselves back into the game when Liam Carver fired home low into Wass’ bottom corner; the hosts could even have been level minutes later, Liam Weedop’s goal-bound header though stopped by Wass’ crossbar.
A second penalty was awarded with less than twenty minutes remaining, the visitors afforded the opportunity to again hold a two-goal advantage; Sean Craven found himself first fouled by Parker, with Moore scoring from the loose ball, but, referee Lewis instead pointing to the spot and Paterson, on a hat-trick, sees his effort saved.
Minutes later, and at the other end , Carver , pounces on an un-cleared ball to equalise,giving him his second of the match, chaos then ensuing at the death.
We did say it was a classic, and, with all that gone before, the final five minutes created even more drama when first, with five minutes remaining, a free-kick to Linby reaches captain Greg Conn, his header is saved by Parker only for Craven to knock home the rebound – that however is disallowed for offside, and the game remained at 3-3, for then at least.
Time for some last minute drama also when Walker arrows the ball over the top of the home defence as far as Craven, and he angles an effort back across Parker and into the net to seal a 4-3 win for the visitors.
Ten games into the season (in all competitions, eight league, two cup), and Connor Gillan leads the way in appearances with nine (6/3), with a handful of appearances on eight apiece; scoring-wise, Sanousi Ibrahim leads the way with four goals, followed by Ashdon Bernard, Alex Paterson, and Dylan Walker all on three each, Paterson in the mix following his double at Teversal.
Next up for Linby, the first of three, consecutive home matches as Matt Peberday’s side look to break into the top six; Nottingham FC head to Church Lane this coming Saturday (14 October), followed by Melbourne Dynamo (21 October), and Blidworth Welfare a week later (Buckingham Insurance League Challenge Cup Second Round, 28 October).

Detective Inspector Clare Gibson, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is an incredibly tragic incident and our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of those affected at this difficult time.
“A murder inquiry has commenced but we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. We are continuing to investigate what has happened so that a file can be prepared for the coroner.

A Gedling youngster has put in a marathon effort to raise funds for her local ice skating team.
Nine-year-old Ellie completed the Robin Hood Mini Marathon last month (September) to bring in cash for her synchronised ice skating team.
Ellie, who attends Priory Junior School, in Gedling, is part of the ‘Ice Gems’ who are the Juvenile squad of the Nottingham Synchronised Skating Academy.
Ellie is the youngest member of the team that has members ranging in age from from nine to 14 years old. The team’s ice schedule at present means the girls need to be at the rink for 5.35 am, which means an early start for members and also the parents who provide the transport.

Ice Gems are an all-girl team who do an hour of off-ice zoom class, 1-2 hours of on-ice training and an hour or so of ballet per week, mostly over the weekend.
The team had a successful competition season in 2022-2023, with Gold in London, Silver in Dumfries, Silver in Sheffield and Bronze at the British Championship Britannia Cup.
Ellie’s mini-marathon day started at the rink at 7am which ran until 9.15am. Then it was off to the mini marathon, still in skating gear under her race T Shirt to complete the race for her team. After finishing Ellie happily said “I’ve got quite the collection of medals now”.
Ellie’s mum, Kara said “I am incredibly proud of my daughter and this team, who are current British Bronze medallists. My daughter is a pupil at Priory Junior School who have actively encouraged and supported her sport and I am eternally grateful to them for that.”
Pictured: Ellie in action at the Robin Hood Mini-Marathon with her Ice Gems Union Flag
Next up for the Iced Gems is a trip to London as British Ice Skating host the Skate London Synchro in November at Alexander Palace.
Kara added: “Competition costs are looming as the first takes place November 24 – 26 in London. We would be really grateful if anyone feels able to contribute.”
