Cheaper alcohol versions ?

richardvc

Being a MSE in all aspects of my life I am trying to find out if you can get cheaper versions of the following :


Jaegermeister
Malibu
Southern Comfort
Baileys
Pimms


I have a Tesco and a Lidl locally but sadly not an Aldi.


Any names / prices would be good !


Thanks
Richard

Lidl's jeeves is a great Pimms substitute.
There is a thread somewhere on here with loads of subs in it…I haven't tried the others, but Lidl's alcohol equivalents seemed to be voted positively.

Jeeves - haha.


What a great name !

If you happen to pass an Aldi on your travels:


The Aldi version Austins is very good. Was £5.99 a bottle last time I bought it.
The Aldi Bailey's looklike Ballycastle (or something like that) is fine. I don't drink it normally but bought a bottle for Christmas.

What is Austins please mysteryme ?


I also found some fake Archers in Tesco called Peach Amore - £6.90 - bought but not tried yet !

I like that, but it is less alcohol in.

I know Tesco have their own version of Pimms as well, but not sure what it's called. Never seen a Jaigermeister substitute though.

I'm into lidl for their cheapie alternatives.

Their western gold is a good alternative to jack Daniels. Their Irish cream is good swap for baileys. Their Jeeves for pimms.

I remember buying a cheap version of jager but I can't remember where now. Either lidl or Tescos

Home bargains also do a Pimms copy for £4.99, think its called oxford. Asda used to do a southern comfort copy, was very nice, called deep south.

12 pounds for a litre, they still sell it.

(Don't forget (particularly with liqueurs) to check if it is a 70 cl or just a 50 cl bottle.)
