If you dare to once again rock the playful jelly shoe, the supermarket is selling pairs for just £10.
The slip-on, ballet-style flat comes with a lightly gripped sole and a diamond cut out design.
You can also choose from five colours: white, charcoal, pink, green and orange.
At just a tenner, it is a fraction of the price of a £85 designer version by Ancient Greek Sandals spotted on Net-a-Porter.
This pricey alternative also comes in a range of colours and is 'made for the beach with their rubbery, washable PVC.'
The George at Asda affordable lookalike has already caught the attention of fashion TikTokers.
One creator shared her find in-store, saying Asda is 'pulling through again,' sparking over 20,000 likes.
Abby, who posts under @abbybella3, shared: 'I need to share with you girls what I've just bought. I am so happy with them.
'You girls are all gonna be like, 'What the f*** has she bought now?''
She revealed she had the expensive Net-a-Porter pair on her wish list for ages, but they had been out of stock and she also questioned the price.

Abby was delighted to spot the George at Asda dupe.
She added: 'I just randomly went to Asda and I picked up these for £10: a pair of jelly mesh jelly shoes.
'They look identical to the ones from Net-a-Porter. But they're not £85. They were £10.
'I'm so happy with them.'
Abby acknowledged that they may not be everyone's cup of tea, but she didn't care.

She continued: 'I know you're all thinking, 'Yuck, they're hideous.'
'You wait until you see me style them, because you're all gonna change your mind. Promise you.
'But I love them, so I had to share because they were £10.
'I'm so happy with them. I cannot wait to style them.'
People were quick to comment and say they wanted to snap up a pair.
One wrote: 'I'm running to Asda for the orange ones if they've got them cos WOW!'
Another added: 'Much prefer them over crocs'.

Primark brings back millennial accessory that leaves people 'screaming' in fear
After waving goodbye to many fashion trends from the 90's and noughties, shoppers were left horrified to see the return of a nostalgic belt - which has left some 'screaming' The nineties and noughties fashion trends are making a comeback, but the revival of one certain accessory has left millennials screaming in fear over it's return. Jelly shoes and pedal pusher trousers have made a comeback in recent years without causing too much of a stir, however it's the return of the disc belts which have pushed people over the edge - with some saying it's bringing back "trauma" and "PTSD". The large chunky belts made up of discs was a total fashion staple in it's heyday - but many hoped it would just stay in the past. So when shoppers spotted it on the shelves in Primark, people were in disbelief. Including mum Nina Dixon, who shared a TikTok of her daughter trying one on, and sharing her horror at the return of the accessory. "They were not lying when they said fashions come back around. I need to find a photo of me in one of these," Nina captioned the post to her account @ ninadixon28. The post has racked up over 2.5 million views and 113k likes as her daughter said she wanted her to buy it for her. Nina, who looked mortified said to her: "You do realise that when I was about 14 that is what we used to wear. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. "We thought we were really cool and then we bullied them ever since. Now they've made this comeback and you're saying it's nice?!" She joked, and as their opinion on the belt different, fellow TikTokers agreed with Nina in the comments. PTSD hahaha," and a third simply wrote: "The trauma from the disk belt." Similarly, pedal pushers, or capri pants have also returned this year, with celebs like Frankie Bridge and Gigi Hadid spotted wearing the trending trousers So it's safe to say the vintage-style cropped leggings are making a major fashion comebacks. They might have first arrive in fashion history back in the 1950s, but the 90s was when capri pants really came into their own, and now they're being given a seriously chic makeover ready for 2024. Gigi first donned a pair of the calf-skimming pants back in 2023 and since then they've been slowly creeping back onto our fashion radars.

I'd heard brilliant things about Too Good to Go so spent £4.40 on an Asda bag – it was an epic fail, I can't eat it all
IT'S the food recycling scheme that aims to reduce waste. And loads of people have had epic wins on their Too Good to Go bags, nabbing hundreds of pounds' worth of goodies for a fraction of their original price. 6 Florence thought her luck was in when she picked up two bags packed with bits Credit: tiktok/@ 6 But then she opened them up, and found they were stuffed to the brim with salad Credit: tiktok/@ 6 She couldn't believe how unlucky she'd been with her £4.40 purchase Credit: tiktok/@ 6 And admitted she had no idea how she was going to eat it all Credit: tiktok/@ So Florence decided to take a gamble and get one from her local town - although the only options were from Greggs or Asda. As the Greggs ones were sold out, she went for Asda, and thought it was her lucky day when she was given two massive bags, each of which was packed full to the brim. "I got two bags for life full of food for £4.40 and I was like, 'Yeah it's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be fabulous!'" Florence said. However, when she got home, she soon realised that she'd made a mistake. "It's ALL salad," Florence sighed. She then unpacked the bags in a video on her TikTok page, as she pulled out iceberg lettuce after iceberg lettuce. There were also some boxes and bags of prepped salads, which Florence joked "made a change". While she hoped that the second bag had something other than salad in it, she quickly discovered it did not. "It's more salad!" she exclaimed. Florence concluded her video by sharing a look at her kitchen - which ended up being "just lettuce". I was so excited when I nabbed a £2.49 Morrisons Too Good To Go bag – but what I found inside made me feel sick "I'm actually gonna cry," she despaired. She captioned her video by tagging Too Good to Go and adding: "What is this!?" People in the comments section were quick to advise Florence to complain about the bags, with one writing: "Too Good to Go is supposed to prevent food waste - they can't possibly imagine you could use all that salad. "Taking the p**s and making a mockery of the scheme." "A lot of that looked vile too, like proper rotten," another added. "It's supposed to be 'too good to go', not 'good riddance'!" Hacks for Keeping Food Fresh in Your Fridge IF you want your food to stay fresh, you'll need to try out this useful hacks... Herbs in Water: Store fresh herbs like parsley and coriander in a glass of water, then cover with a plastic bag to keep them fresh for weeks. Wrap Greens in Paper Towels: Wrap leafy greens in paper towels before placing them in a plastic bag. The towels absorb excess moisture, preventing wilting. Use Mason Jars: Store salads, chopped vegetables, and even leftovers in mason jars. They are airtight and keep food fresher for longer. Revive Stale Bread: Sprinkle a bit of water on stale bread and pop it in the oven for a few minutes to make it fresh again. Baking Soda for Odours: Place an open box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb odours and keep food tasting fresh. Freeze Herbs in Olive Oil: Chop herbs and freeze them in olive oil using an ice cube tray. This preserves their flavour and makes them easy to use. Keep Cheese Fresh: Wrap cheese in wax paper instead of plastic wrap. Wax paper allows the cheese to breathe, preventing it from becoming slimy. Store Avocados with Onions: Place a cut avocado in an airtight container with a slice of onion. The sulphur compounds in the onion slow down oxidation, keeping the avocado fresh. Use Vinegar Wash for Berries: Rinse berries in a mixture of water and vinegar (one cup of vinegar to three cups of water) before storing. This kills bacteria and mould spores, extending their shelf life. Egg Freshness Test: To check if eggs are still fresh, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink, while old ones will float. Implement these clever hacks to maximise the freshness of your food and make the most of your groceries. "Completely defeats the point of TGTG, as now 90% of that will go to waste," a third said. "Companies shouldn't use it a glorified waste collection." "And you can't even freeze any of it!" someone else pointed out. "Cheaper for them to let you dispose of it," another added. "And they make a quick pound as well while showing the general public how 'eco friendly' they are by preventing food waste," someone else said "I live in London and bought a Tesco Too Good to Go bag just after Christmas and it was literally just 5 bags of brussel sprouts and a load of mashed potato - all with an expiration date of TOMORROW," another sighed. "I think its just become a way for grocery stores to offload their produce that's going off on to the customer." "I tried Too Good to Go from some bakeries and couple of times hoping for some sweet buns or cakes and ended up with 12 slightly stale bread rolls and a mini baguette," someone else wrote. "Never again!" However, another commented: "It's not that hard to understand. "It's left overs; food before it becomes food waste. You get what you get; if you're not prepared for that don't use Too Good to Go." "They're meant to give you a variety of stuff, 2 bags of leafs is a joke," Florence hit back. 6 Her kitchen table was covered in iceberg lettuce by the end of the TikTok Credit: tiktok/@
