Velcro cable ties
£1.50 for a pack of eight. 2 each of 4 very primary colours.
They seem quite robust.
Found amongst the bargain crap near the entrance.

It's spelled "Tesco's."
PS. And it's "The Asda". "Asda's" doesn't make sense, so the correct
term is "I'm off up the asda."

Actually, the correct phrase would be "I'm going to The Asda". Unless
Asda is located on the top of a steep hill, it would be very difficult
to go 'up' The Asda. :P
And don't get me started on the use of the word 'off' to mean leaving
to go somewhere....

No.
/pedant mode on
"I'm going to the Asda" would only perhaps work in the West Midlands, where
they have a peculiar local figure of speech in which they refer to certain
establishments in that way.
Like "I work at the Jaguar".
Some correct (non-Brummie) alternatives would be:
I'm going to the Asda/Tesco supermarket
I'm going to Asda's/Tesco's supermarket
I'm going to Asda/Tesco.
/snob mode on
Personally, I much prefer to shop at Waitrose (not Waitroses, Waitrose's or
The Waitrose). You meet a much better class of person....

Got some of Willy Wonka's chocolate there. Bloody expensive, but nice
flavour.
