    Family friend drove to Sainsbury's I think it was, in Newry, price difference on beer and wine shocking I believe.

    Wolf Blass around €3-€4 a bottle, and the carpark full of lads in Dublin reg cars availing of some ridiculous deal on crates of Carlsberg.

    Does anyone do this kind of thing on a regular basis, and what are the savings like after taking petrol into account?

    Never heard of the newry run? Happens before christmas every year. Of course on a regular basis im sure people from nearby will do it.
