    Try the Co-op, they were selling Baileys Original/Mint/Coffee Irish Cream 70cl for £10. ASDA also have
    Baileys Original/Hint of Coffee/Hazelnut Irish Cream/Hint of Mint Chocolate 70cl for £10 as well.

    And Netto also sometimes have good Baileys offers if you have one near you.

    Have you tried any of the following?

    O'Grady's Classic Country Cream (700ml) £4.69 (Sainsburys), Irish Meadow Cream Liqueur (700ml) £3.99 (Tesco), Irish Knights Irish Country Cream (700ml) £4.42 (Asda), Irish Knights Irish Country Cream (1.4L) currently £7.50, Ballycastle Irish Cream (70cl), £5.99 and Queen Margot's Irish Cream (Lidl). Not sure how much Queen Margot's is.

    Do bear in mind though that Baileys Original is actually made with whisky, the equivalent ones above may be made with slightly different ingredients. Aldi's Ballycastle Irish Cream, for example, is made with fine wine. Apparently it's not bad though.

    Or you could try your hand at making your own equivalent:

  • i found a sale in waitrose, 700ml for 11pounds
  • thanks both for your replies, i was hoping for a litre bottle on offer really but the 70cl bottles are the next best thing i guess for the price offer anyway! i have tried some of the alternatives but unfortunately although i like them, there is no competition for me and Baileys always tastes the nicest! the tesco own brand one usually suffices in times of extreme tightening of purse strings tho! :)

  • Don't rush to buy as prices may come down proir to Christmas.

    ADSA were selling Baileys Irish Cream 70cl for £7 just over three weeks ago, so hopefully there'll be offers like this again before Christmas. Should think ASDA's current offer will be on for a while as well if the price doesn't come down.

    Not seen it. Im surprised there isnt a huge offer anywhere as in the past at least 1 supermarket or a few have had decent prices for baileys.

    I can see some supermarket having an offer on next week in the build up to xmas.

    I got my mum a 1 litre bottle in Asda when it was £9.00 - she says she's drunk it already! I'm not sure if any of the shops will have it that cheap again this side of Christmas.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
  • thanks everyone, i'll keep an eye out as have to go into supermarkets for work anyway- if i find anything i'll post it up here straight away!
