I am still waiting for it to show up again so I can link it but earlier today there was an advert on Facebook for Eco Electricity and if you switched to that company they gave you 4 bottles of gin free!

Here you go - if you fancy Eco Electicity you can grab 4 bottles of free gin!!

Remember back in me crusty days it was priced perfectly to get a young rapscallion into lots of mischief. Not a dinner party in sight.

Chablis doesn't go so well with energy drink though...

75cl JD and JD honey were £15 down from £25 in tesco but I think that may have ended...

Not quite bargain but useful for anyone who wants a change in sacks of wine http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3760886/Bank-holiday-special-wine-box-good-bottle-Yes-says-critic-better-ll-stay-fresh-weeks.html

A bit ot, but I never realised until the other day when I looked into it during the cheap cider mayhem, just how much tax makes up the price of spirits. The tax on a 1litre 40% proof bottle of spirits is £11.50 + 20% Vat on top - so when you see a 1 litre bottle of spirits for sale around the 15 quid mark then it really is a bargain!

[wosman]

Home bargains are doing 10 330ml cans of apple and passion fruit or pomegranate and strawberry old mout for £8, well worth a go

[The Red Telephone]

Not exactly a bargain, but this site does 24 x 500ml cases of decent ale (Tanglefoot, Hobgoblin) delivered to your door

Couple of questions:

1. Has anyone ever seen plastic litre bottles of spirits for sale in the UK? My parents come back from Spain with plastic bottles of brandy and gin every summer...forgot to ask them to bring some back last year and they have rudely drank all theirs.

2. From being a pretty consistent drinker (couple of beers or  glasses of wine most nights) I've now gone 2 months with booze. Got to admit, it's quite a nice feeling! The longest I've gone without booze since I was 16 probably! However, I cannot countenance being dry at Glastonbury. Should I last it out until then and celebrate the end of 3 months of sobriety with a beer once my tent is up, then go crazy for 5 days? Or should I "warm up" with a cider or two in the weeks leading up to it?

Bit steep tho. Often get 2 4-packs for £8/9 in the supermarkets and they'll deliver 'em too ey.

Previous threads return a bit of a null; I don't know why you wouldn't just decant your tipple anyway. Probably more cost-effective and next to zero hassle innit.
