Some of the products are marked to just pennies, but the deals aren't available in every Asda store.
One customer shared the haul he picked up in a post on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
"This will keep a few people happy and their clothes smelling nice for a while," the bargain hunter joked.
He revealed that he visited eight Asda stores in search of the sales and "drew blanks" in five.
The Facebook user explained that he got "a few minor bits" in one, while he "did OK" in another.
He revealed the final store he visited "had shelves full and still had loads when I left".
According to the bargain hunter, Asda shoppers need to be prepared to put in some time and effort to nab these deals.
He shared images of all the products he picked up, filling multiple shopping trolleys and baskets, as well as his car boot.
His haul included Vanish Oxi Action, which was reduced to just £2.35.
He also nabbed Daz Gel, Lenor Fabric Conditioner, Lenor Scent Booster Beads, Comfort Laundry Detergent, Ineos Laundry Detergent, Persil Wonder Wash and detergent capsules.

Meanwhile, the Persil 55 Wonder Wash is available for just £2.50, and the Ineos Laundry Detergent is listed for £1.48.
Laundry tips
Catherine Green, sustainable cleaning expert at smol shared her laundry tips.
How often should you be remaking your bed?
When it comes to your bed, maintaining a hygienic sleep setup can actually improve your sleep quality, helping you start every day better.
Most people shed 500 million skin cells per day and a lot of that ends up in bed for dust mites to feed on. And those with asthma or allergies might see symptoms worsen by sleeping on dirty sheets!
You want to be washing your sheets once a week - or every 10 days if you don't suffer from allergies and wear nightclothes. Bedding builds up with sweat, skin cells and oils quickly, even if it doesn't look dirty.
Using an effective detergent like smol's will still give you a great clean on a 20°C cycle - that's better for the planet and your energy bills!
What temperature do smol recommend then?
For your regular weekly washes I recommend washing most loads at 20°C for 30 minutes. It's gentler on fabrics, slashes energy use, and still delivers excellent stain removal with the right detergent. A colder wash can actually be more effective if you opt for a bio detergent as its enzymes need cooler water; too hot and they lose their ability to digest stains. A wash at 60°c (unless you have silk sheets) every now and again can help kill off dust mites and other nasties.
What's the difference between bio and non-bio detergent?
Bio detergents contain enzymes, which are especially good at breaking down tough stains like food, grass, or sweat. It's best used in mid to low temperature washes (ideally between 20-40°C) as anything hotter can cause them not to work effectively.
Non-bio skips the enzymes, which in turn makes it more suitable for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Although non-bio doesn't contain enzymes, it's still great at removing stains and keeping your clothes clean, you just may need to use a slightly higher temperature setting to aid with the cleaning process.
And there's a secret button on your washing machine that could save you £72 per year.
