Food and drink bargain hunters come here please

[iloveholidays]

I thought it might be easier for all including Reastie if we had a separate bargain thread for food and drink.

Reastie hoping I'm not stepping on your toes here

Assuming the offers will move quickly mind.

I'm planning an online shop at tesco later so will let you know what bargains are there at the moment.

offers on xmas chocolates from sainsburys

[Icepickinyourheadofthepops]

Reastie re ocado. Not good news but a possible way round

Delivery pass t&c's state that Xmas delivery pass slots only go priority to those who have bought a delivery pass on or before 1/10. It's not v clear.I know someone who always gets their slot first, something on their postcode. They get their booking first week of October. Mine come out tomorrow.

If you are definitely going for it, phone them up to buy over the phone if poss or at least confirm this first with them. Say you only want the pass if you can get priority on Xmas slot rathe than wait till 30/11 which is what they will default you to.. ie no advantage.

They can, albeit maybe a supervisor needs to approve, book you in a slot on 23/12. You prob won't get an Xmas eve but more may open up.

Good luck. Be firm, they can do it. If you've had a delivery pass before tell them that, and be sure to tell them you are the Xmas shopping goddess of mumsnet.

[Icepickinyourheadofthepops]

And Reastie, once they have booked you in the slot you need to put some holder items in to £90 as you have to check out within an hour or lose the slot they've pencilled in for you.

Meant to update yesterday, the Baileys for £9 at Morrisons promotion starts on Thursday nationwide.

I also found a website yesterday called Before I a Shop, that has the offers for Asda, Morrisons, Sainsyrys, Tesco and Waitrose

[southeastdweller]

Great thread. Can't think of anything at the moment but will update regularly over the weeks. I was thinking last night though it'll soon be the time when Bailey's gets hugely reduced (the supermarkets 'take turns' with it as I recall) so thanks to Moosey for the Morrisons heads-up.

[Reastie]

Thanks Icepick . I did ocado delivery pass last week . Haven't heard anything about being able to book christmas slot yet, might go and have a nose on their site now

[Icepickinyourheadofthepops]

Reastie I have shopped with them for ten years. Thought we'd try someone else. Didn't renew pass in sept. Have realised is easier to have delivery and find waitrose not so intuitive. Anyway, didn't realise cut off had passed for Xmas slots. Signed up online again last week and phoned to check when I'd get slot. Was told as above. Challenged and was able to book in yday. Good luck

[CrotchStitch]

I already have my Waitrose slot booked
In fairness my trolley may be a little of the "chuck anything in to reach £50" variety at the moment but I am thrilled with the new found domestic goddess in me that will have all her shopping delivered effortlessly to the door rather than dashing around grappling prawn rings off little old ladies on Christmas Eve :o

[southeastdweller]

M&S mulled wine is currently £2 off.

[JaquelineHyde]

Oooh yay I've found you.

Nothing to add at the moment, but thanks for the Baileys heads up. I shall be off to Morrisons tomorrow for a bottle or two!

[Theimpossiblegirl]

Is it worth getting to Morrison's early or is there a set time they can sell alcohol from?

[iloveholidays]

what's happening at Morrisons?

[iloveholidays]

I need to stock up on beer and cider... Ideally 3 crates for £20 odd or whatever they do. Has anyone seen that yet??

Thanks

Sainburys are doing Chivas Regal malt whiskey for £18 instead of £27.

Dh likes it so it's good stuff.

[Badvoc]

Is the aldi own brand baileys any good?

[Wiifitmama]

I think the Aldi baileys tastes just like the branded one. Very nice and much cheaper.

[Badvoc]

Will get some for Dhs hamper then!
Thanks

[LalyRawr]

I'm annoyed that I don't have an Aldi or Lidl near me

Superdrug have some good deals on sweets at the moment. The little boxes of Lindt are £1, Thortons Reindeer £4 (saw it for £8 in Waitrose), 2 for £1 on bags of chocolate coins, box of Thortons chocs for £5 etc.

Baileys 1 litre for £9 in Morrison's tomorrow. Not sure if it includes flavours.

[kiwidreamer]

I was in Tesco this morning and they have 2 for £4 on Elizabeth Shaw chocolates, not such a bargain for the sticks but the wafers are usually £4 for a single box, they come in Mint and an Armaretto flavours, I got two mint boxes... one for us and one for a friends hamper.

[southeastdweller]

So who got their Bailey's today? There weren't many left tonight at my nearest one (Streatham) but I was happy to get one bottle. May get another one in Brighton tomorrow if there's any left.

[LalyRawr]

Argh don't tell me that! I can't get there till Monday!

[KFFOREVER]

Fox's biscuit tins £4 in Iceland. Was £8 in Tesco.

[raisah]
