    I couldn't believe the prices in Iceland yesterday, they seem to have big bottle knock offs of all the christmas favourites (Malibu, Baileys etc) all at £3.99. The assistant even handed over a bottle for me to check the alcohol content :D I know where I will be going for the booze this christmas :D
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    F U Fund currently at £250

    Last year I remember using the Times Wine Club. The wine worked out about £2.67 per bottle and you could order as many cases as you wanted for no extra postage cost. I'll check it out and report back
  • This must be bought via the Egg Money / Virgin Wines link

    Buy 1 case of Egg Deluxe Christmas wine for £95.88 (gulp, not moneysaving, but stick with me) and get a case of Egg Christmas party wine (worth £56.38) free.saufen.gif

    Which brings them down to £3.99 each, but here's the nice bit. Buy them with your Egg Money card and you'll get a 20% discount from Virgin, plus you'll also get 2% cashback on your card. which means that in the end you'll get 24 splendid bottles of s_o.gif for only £74.79 which is £3.12 each. saufen.gif

    Try Toffee fablus from Lidl at only £5.99 per bottle, it is every bit as good as Dooleys but around half the price.

    Another great buy is Aldi's 3 litre box of Chardonnay for £10.99 (it was even better when it was £9.99), they also do a box of either Shiraz or Merlot for the same price but I haven't tried this (I'm a white wine drinker).

    It's not really booze, but ASDA cherry brandy liqueurs at 99p a box, are fantastic and a great after dinner mint? Not really a mint but you know what I mean
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!
  • Currently 20 x 250ml for £6.99. Thats £1.40 per Litre = 80p per pint. Plenty in stock at the Peterlee (Co. Durham) branch
  • 20 x 207 ml Budweiser £8.00 at Iceland. £1.93 Litre or £1.10 per pint.
  • Sainsbury's have been doing 2bottles of Freixenheit (not sure of spelling!) for £8 & if you buy 6 you still get the 5% off as well. Bonus - the 5% is off the Full price of the bottles not the 2for£8, basically I got 6 bottles for £22!

    Better be quick though 'cos I'm not sure how long the offer is for.

    don't know if its already been said but Kwiksave have 4 cans of strongbow cider for £1.74, bought some for hubby for Christmas
    Money's too tight to mention!!!
  • Sainsbury's in Stockport were doing Chateauneuf du Pape reduced to £7.99 a bottle from £15.00 or £15.99 per bottle last Friday (sorry can't remember exact original price). Only went in to spend my fiver on essentials so I didn't have to pay to use the car park! Not a cheap wine, but a great Christmas pressie for those friends you know really enjoy a good bottle of red - they'll really think you have spoiled them this year. (Except we've told all ours that they ought to become moneysavers so they will probably see this and guess who posted it!)
