Ok so it is not quite Pimms but bear with me.

Sainsbury are doing a promotion on a drink called Pitchers - it looks like Pimms and it tastes like Pimms.

I've just being doing some highly scientific blind-testing and some of my clan say that Pitchers tastes better than Pimms...

Anyhow at half price, £6.24, you cannot go wrong if Pimms is your cup of tea...

    Aldi do a fab one as well - they call it Austins, pretty sure it was about a fiver last summer. No-one I offered it too could tell it wasn't Pimms!

    I'd echo that the Aldi one called Austin's is great. Slight difference I think, but I like both equally as much. On balance would buy Austin's for the savings!

    I saw this promo in Sainsbury's and thought it was good, then wondered who would pay over £12 for this stuff, when they can get the real stuff for cheaper or the same price. On offer its a good deal for just over 6 quid, but at full price???
