Supermarket slashes price of 1L Baileys to just £8.50 in ‘astonishing’ deal
WITH Christmas in sight, one supermarket has slashed the price of a 1L Baileys to just £8.50.
The astonishing boozy deal is for a limited time only, and only available to customers in England and Wales.
Between December 6 and December 12, Morrisons More Card members can head to Morrisons to get their hands on the 1L bottle of Baileys Irish Cream.
The bottle, which normally sells for £13, is limited to one per person.
To pick up the astonishing deal, a Morrisons More card customer must spend a minimum of £45 in store to get the bargain deal.
The offer is not available in Morrisons cafes, Morrisons.com or Amazon Groceries, Morrisons Petrol Filling Stations or Morrisons Daily.
It comes as Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda have all slashed the price of Baileys to just £10.
The creamy liquor-based drink is a staple around the festive period, but a one-litre bottle of the booze can cost upwards of £15 if you don’t buy it on offer.
But you will also need to have each of the respective stores’ loyalty cards to make the savings.
For example, if you did not have a Tesco Clubcard you would have to pay £22 for the liquor instead of £10.
Charging £10 is usually the cheapest most supermarkets will reduce the price of the booze too – however, prices and deals can change from one day to the next.
Costco is selling one-litre bottles of the Irish drink for £9.99.
The deal was spotted on Hotdeals.co.uk with shoppers quick to praise the offer.
One customer wrote: “1p saving. Every penny counts”.
Meanwhile, another shopper said the deal was “better” than the offers on the “high street”.
However, it is important to note that you need to be a Costco member to avail of this offer.
To be eligible for a Costco membership, you need to have – or be retired from a certain type of job.
Jobs that are included in the criteria are public sector workers such as NHS staff, police officers, teachers and local government workers.
How to shop around for the best bargain
When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around to make sure you are not being overcharged.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
