Safeway's Booze Bargains!!

Scary_Fish

not sure if this is localised or all stores but....last night friend called to say get to safeway's pronto as loads of booze half price......
many wines from 1.24-3.99.....
baileys half price,
Litres of Bacardi @ 7.69
Cases of Guiness half price..

i could go on and on....the staff said the offers are changing daily, we missed the half price Teachers by a few hours...so defo worth a scan.

FYI this was at the Safeway's in Congleton...

watch the items swipe through as some do not come up automatically as half price.

must be clearing their christmas stock...

anyone seen the offers in other safeways?

Scary_Fish

they said the fitters were due in to convert to morrison's hence the shifting of stock. so may well reach other stores at different times???

Scary_Fish

so i take it no-one else seen this in their stores? :-/

You wanna count it as a blessing that you missed the half priced Teachers. You might have been tempted to buy it. That stuff is bad. Give me a single malt any day.

Our local Safeway is closing on the 15th and re-opening as Somerfields. Anyone know if they're any good or not?

Ours too will become a Somerfields - not till March or thereabouts I think.

I have heard *very* mixed reports about Somerfields - but then when we first changed to Morrisons the quality dropped substantialy - but has picked up again since.

I guess we will find out in due course...

(I *so* wanted Asda to buy Safeway )

It would be sheer heaven if Asda had taken them over - or even Tesco for that matter. We just have a Safeway and a small Co-op. It's 10 miles to our nearest Tesco and 20 to Asda. I'd never be out of there so maybe it's just as well. My mum works for Safeway (she's been there nearly 40 years) and it started off as Liptons, then Templetons, then Presto, then Safeway, Morrisons and now Somerfields. (don't think I missed any in between).

I can beat that!!! We have a Safeway and a Co-op and it is 200 miles to the nearest Tesco, Asda or anything else for that matter!






......mind you - I do live on an island.... ;D Yeah, we have also gone through the various incarnations of Liptons etc - not sure that there are any surviving staff members from the Lipton days though!

you are correct,the change over is in March,6 of our people have been there for the last 3 weeks doing remeadial work.
Morrisons have decided that,they only want the stores closed for 3 days for the refit instead of 10,so hence a lot of behind the sceens work being done in all stores.They want to convert 3/4 per week.
