How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you’re planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It’s always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don’t forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You’ll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.
She showed off the Specially Selected Cremant De Bordeaux Brut Rosé, the wine lover shared her clip with the caption ‘Perfect for champagne hen dos on a Prosecco budget, brunch with the girls, baby showers, and posh park picnics.’
She claimed that the £8.49 pink champagne ‘dupe’ is the “perfect budget sparkler” for summer, as she urged shoppers to run, not walk, to Aldi.
The content creator then said: “If you’re looking for an alternative to your favourite rosé champagne, because not everyone can splash out on Moet all the time, then you’re gonna want to know about this, and it’s only £8.49.
“Most people associate Bordeaux with red wine, but here, we have a delicious dry sparkler made in exactly the same way as champagne, which gives it that touch of creamy richness and those brioche notes that we all love.”
Boasting aromas of black cherry and cassis with flavours of blackcurrant with a herby finish, not only did Lucy taste strawberry and raspberries, but she also recognised “hints of peach” and “something herbal” too.
