Dinny Breen · May 12, 2009, 06:33:54 PM

where would the cheapest off-licence be?

fred the red · May 12, 2009, 06:35:26 PM

At a guess, sainsburys.

what type of beer you after?

mikasas · May 12, 2009, 06:37:47 PM

Yeah Sainsburys would be the cheapest by a longshot.
Thats if your not after specific beers and would take advantage of the offers.

Stay away from Tesco's, you wouldn't want to bring down the Republic.

Dinny Breen · May 12, 2009, 06:43:22 PM

Heineken, Budwieser, Miller and Corona.

What time do Sainsburys start selling alcohol at?

Avoid Newry to many tail backs in car parks.
I went about ten miles further on to the Sprucefield shopping place near Lisburn and there is a Sainsburys there too with no traffic at all hardly..
The drink is very cheap..

Cheers TRL, would traffic be bad mid-week on a Tues or Wed morning?

We went up the north on a tuesday morning,we passed Newry around 9am and traffic was building up,most were Southern reg cars..
There were a few southern reg cars in Sprucefield too but it was a breeze getting in and out of the place.
For the sake of a half an hours drive more I think it be worth it.
Got loads of wine and beer for half nothing,eg 3 bottles of Mateus wine for £10,I think one bottle here is €14, and I got 15cans of Carling for £10 also..

Midweek you're grand Dinny

They restock during the night - so morning time is best - avoid the rush hour morning time though

U can buy it in the morning no probs

I'll ring them and tell them you're coming.

Is it? It didn't seem that far

Spuscefield is a right wee drive on up the road if your just looking drink, but I suppose you could call into the outlet on you way up/down and make a day of it.
different beers on offer at different times they were doing a deal not so long ago where you bought 2 packs of 20 beers for £20. thats a snip and considering the value of the Euro you couldn't really do any better.

Dinny Breen · May 12, 2009, 07:03:52 PM

Cheers Lads, I'll ring in advance so as I'll probably be buying around 30 cases of beer.

mikasas · May 12, 2009, 07:08:55 PM

Thirst Dinny? fcuk me that will be some party!

Our Nail Loney · May 12, 2009, 07:11:54 PM

Tescos were doing cases of Magners there a week or so ago for £7, some job, I got four just to tide me over...

Check to see what offers are on first...
