  • If as suggested it is in B&M then the Tesco/Asda crowd will ALLEGEDLY (and unofficially) balcklist it -ie not de-list it - that would be anti competitive, just never have it in stock.
    MORAL go to B&M , Lidl, Aldi etc first and only go to the 'biggies' for things you cant get. We go to a different one each week and are getting less and less at Tesco.

    Sorry to hijack the post but as robberrob says above about using Tesco less and less. So are we. Meat from butchers, fruit/veg from greengrocers. Beer from Home bargains and we have just found a traditional shop that sells things like peanuts, Muesli cooking ingredients, dates, prunes and lots more. Its all loose but it is not a self serve scoop shop the assistants do all the weighting. It's better value than Tesco too. So there is another loss to them

    We finally got some in Morrisons, looks like it's filtering through now.

  • I've bought it from londis before, didn't like it much though - much preferred one I found in Wetherspoons - think it was called Frank's, it was normal beer blended with gingeriness, rather than a traditional ginger beer. Lovely! :D Haven't seen that on sale anywhere else though!

    For anyone looking for a ginger beer that is more like a beer, try Blandford Fly, I've bought it in Morrison's and Sainsbury's but again, I don't think its one that is stocked all the time. Really nice though.
  • Costcutter store have it at 1.69 a 500ml bottle

    Just tried Crabbys yesterday and I though it was really nice. My dad thought it tasted like a Ginger Beer-Lager shandy and come to think of it it did taste quite like a blend. Will be buying again though!
