    Morrison's do all their £1.89 bottles at 4 for £6 which is annoying when my choice is one at £1.79 and isn't part of the deal!

    This seems to be really common among beer offers, I see it at Asda and Tesco a lot

    Quick supermarket question (not really related to offers):

    Has anyone tried the new 'Simply' range at Tesco (Simply IPA etc.)? Are they any good and who makes them?

    :S
    Didn't even know they did value beers that weren't lager or bitter. Also "simply" sounds like it's ripping off M&S.

    I had 2 of the Simply range - the IPA and can't remember the other. Didn't think they were too bad at all - i got them for a quid each mind.

    Also, Tesco have a GREAT offer on London Pride at the mo. 1 bottle for £1.99 of 2 for £6!!!

    Yeah, I was in there the other day looking at the beers and some of the ones in the 4 for£6 offer cost less than £1.50. So if you get them as part of the offer, you end up paying more for them! (obviously the overall balance of prices might be lower)

    Quick update - Booths currently has a 4 for £6 offer on some of it's ales. Not all of them, but an interesting selection nonetheless. So if there's a Booths near you, go check it out!

    I picked up the ipa and the dark ale but left the golden not tried Them yet they came inn at one thirty three each without any offer though I can imagine marks and Spencer having stern words over the branding

    I should have grabbed some when they were £1.....

    But I bet they'll be at that price again sooner or later. In the meantime I've got a lot of other beer to drink :slight_smile:

    Just a heads up, apparently in big Tesco Extras they sell the Nigerian Guinness in the foreign food aisle

    Sounds pretty ethnic by the standards up here which means I haven't got a blue sky's chance in Scotland of ever seeing it. We do get beer from Cumbria though.:wink:

    I was in the B&M in Leeds earlier - got a bottle each of those two. Never heard of them, but at that price....

    From the other thread I see you're tucking in already :slight_smile:
