The boxes typically contain 31 store cupboard staples and the price includes home delivery.
We’ve asked Asda how long the boxes are available for at the reduced price and we’ll update this story as soon as we get a response.
The boxes proved popular when they launched with Asda setting up a new website just to take orders for them.
They include essentials such as cereal, bread, pasta, tinned fruit and vegetables, sauces, jam, tea bags, long-life milk and a few treats too.
