Morrisons are much better for reliable low prices on drinks, while Tesco are far more dependent on temporary offers. However some of the offers are very attractive.Curmudgeonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-56306761323978154262013-02-09T11:40:20.132+00:002013-02-09T11:40:20.132+00:00Alcohol producers have been kicking up a stink.

However Tesco aren't bothered as it will slightly improve their margins and insulate them from cut-throat price competition.Curmudgeonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-60045476249784393352013-02-09T11:26:08.023+00:002013-02-09T11:26:08.023+00:00Why are they getting so worked up?

Which isn't a clever move because Morrison's (less than a mile away) haven't. So Morrison's are now cheaper for whisky by a large margin. Especially with the lower-cost blends, but also, more and more, with the good malts.<br /><br /><br />Morrison's don't have a loyalty card to track your buying habits either. <br /><br /><br />Interestingly, all that data that used to be available on individual drinking habits through the loyalty card system will suddenly stop. Why bother presenting your card when you're not going to get any points?<br /><br /><br />Anyway, tomorrow night, after work, I visit Lidl for their 12-year-old Speyside single malt at £17.95. I think I might start to lay in a stock.Legironnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-83108690006425819742013-02-07T20:08:23.095+00:002013-02-07T20:08:23.095+00:00I thought nuLabor under B-Lair and the Fruitcake f...I thought nuLabor under B-Lair and the Fruitcake frae Kirkcaldy were into twisted legislation.<br />However, it appears Cast Iron wagged by his Lib/dem tail is far exceeding anything nuLabor came up with.barnacle billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-51519122805134647262013-02-07T18:51:17.261+00:002013-02-07T18:51:17.261+00:00Well, if they scrap points on alcohol my Clubcard ...Well, if they scrap points on alcohol my Clubcard goes straight in the bin...Curmudgeonnoreply@blogger.com
