Asda is selling festive mince pies FOUR months before Christmas

What's the most ludicrous thing you've ever seen?

I bet it's nowhere near as weird as customers coming across festive mince pies in Asda in August.

Yes, you read it correctly, supermarket giant Asda is still selling the Christmas favourites in the middle of summer.

Boxes have been spotted in a number of stores across the country as bosses say they are a "firm favourite".

Shoppers thought the stores were selling leftovers from the festive period, however it has emerged they actually sell them all year round.

People took to social media to speak about how baffled they were to see the pies.

Twitter user @daftmartian said: "Went into Asda this morning to pick up a few bits, they are selling mince pies already!"

While Abbie said: "Sos they’re selling Mince Pies in Asda... Christmas is here."

Kirby took to Twitter to say: "Why on earth have I just seen Mince Pies being sold in Asda in AUGUST."

An Asda spokesperson told Birmingham Live said: "Mince pies are firm favourites with our customers, which is why we have them available in our stores all year round and not just for Christmas."
