Heading up the north to get the xmas booze soon. Anybody know the cheapest shop to buy a few crates?

Buttercrane in Newry usually has good offers. No prices spring to mind tho.

Cheers biko, I've to go as far as Antrim town (to collect an ebay purchase) anyway, so I was hoping to avoid Newry as the traffic can be a pain with half of the south heading up there for the same reason!

Sainsburys usually do a 24 for £10 offer. That's 60c a bottle/can....

Well, got the booze. Ended up going to Tesco in Lisburn. Cheapest beer was Tenents 440ml cans-24 pack for €14.75. Also bought a few litres of Smirnoff, also @ €14.75 per litre bottle. What's a cheap litre of Smirnoff cost down here these days?

About €25-€27 for a cheap litre of smirnoff.

Sainsburys at the Quays Shopping centre in Newry have Heinekin 24 cans( the smaller ones) for 4 pounds 20 pence. thats about 6.50 euros spirits for £12 (18 euro) bring a friend to mind the trolly while you go looking, shin guards and elbow pads are a good idea too.

But it's two bottles of smirnoff/bacardi for £20 (c. €30) in Tescos. Not sure if you can mix and match but I don't think so. Having said that, just buy 2 of each for €60 and save yourselves a mint in Newry. Most of the stores give better exchange rates than the banks so paying in Euro might make sense.
