Updated daily / every other day.

In early December 2016, I thought it was a good idea to resurrect the wonderful yet expired alcohol mega thread that zombieman had originally posted. I did PM to ask him permission to resurrect/continue it but have not had a reply and he appears not to have been online for a good few months, so I will go ahead and hope for the best! Credit for the concept goes to him!

I have collated prices from the supermarkets and comparison websites and played with the API to make sure this post can be updated on a daily basis or at worst case scenario, every other day. The spreadsheet isn't quite perfect but I believe the prices are correct as of today (or the day of the update as per the title). Do bear in mind though that it excludes offers like Morrison's 2 for £20 on spirits. These are just prices per bottle.

I have tried to clean up the original spreadsheet and have marked the lowest prices in green. Good deals are highlighted in bold red and are marked if they are at least 15% cheaper than the next cheapest. Items marked "-" denote they are not sold at that specific supermarket or are out of stock (at least from a online shop perspective - they may be in stock in-store of course). Blue denotes that the current price matches the lowest ever price recorded. Final column shows price per litre.

As always you are welcome to add, suggest or amend deals. Let me know if there are errors too - I'm sure there will be some.

As some of you will be aware, the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012 was introduced on 1st May 2018 as a statutory minimum price for alcohol, initially 50p per unit, as an element in the programme to counter "alcohol problems". Given that I do not live in Scotland, nor have access to accurate Scottish pricing for each supermarket that I list, I do not supply pricing Scottish pricing. It's not because I don't want to, it's because I cannot do it. I have even attempted to use a VPN located to Edinburgh and run a price check there to no avail. Simply adding 50p to every unit is not only incorrect but not viable.

    Pls get it up & runningPls fix it


    You've been a member for almost 4 years and have offered zero deals to the site - and you think it's acceptable to be making demands? Without even trying to understand why it can't be ran? Jeeze

    The deal is not for own brand drinks as you can't buy it at another retailer....

    You seem to have wandered into the wrong thread.

    Why would you think you'd be well received, warning people of the dangers of spirits on a thread specifically about the cheapest place to buy them.

    Would you walk into Brantano and start warning people of the dangers of buying ill fitting shoes?... No is the answer to that.

    Therefore I'd suggest you slip on your Hemp-weave Moccasins and take a stroll down to Bargain Booze, pick up a 200lt drum of Absinthe and let the good times roll.

    Notice you don't include Aldi ? - some decent drinkies there - admittedly their own brand but their Old Hopkins (Rum with Caribbean Flavours) and their Black Label 6 year old whisky (albeit blended) are both good stuff at sensible prices !!!!

    I think you'll find they pay the absolute minimum they can legally get …I think you'll find they pay the absolute minimum they can legally get away with. Blame the Treasury/HMRC for allowing loopholes to exist.


    I largely agree with you but the result is unacceptable and is doing irreversible damage. I'd be happier if people were a bit more discriminating when buying but there seems to be an attitude amongst a part of the population which I'd summarise as:

    - They're always the cheapest aren't they? (No they're not).
    - I'm paying for Prime so I'm going to use it (regardless).
    - I don't care what's happening (me, me, me).

    I use Amazon from time to time if I can't do better elsewhere but I'm damned if I'll pay them for my loyalty (Prime) and I try to buy elsewhere first. I wouldn't presume to tell others not to deal with them but please look at the alternatives too! They've already killed the massive and long established Sears amongst others in the US and now it's happening to our retailers here. It's impossible for bricks and morter businesses (which pay business rates, property overheads and their taxes) to compete.

    Sermon over!

    I've provided an update of sorts. Some APIs are opening up again but not everything is online, perhaps understandably.

    Ocado is still on a priority lockdown so can't get those at the moment. Waitrose have changed something so still trying to work it out and Amazon still on a block.

    Otherwise everything else is active and open. (edited)

    but would have been nice to include for comparison to other brands.



    It's not a comparison of different types of whiskey/vodka/gin etc. it's a cost comparison by brand i.e. where to get each brand the cheapest.

    If only Aldi stock an item, then there's no comparison to other retailers so doesn't need to be included IMO.

    Not really given it has a membership requirement, few branches and stocks less than 30% of the list.

    Already started with BF events. Amazon has taken many spirits to record (noted by me) lows.

    Supermarkets generally will do their Xmas promos a fortnight before, judging by the last few years.
