Youri McAnespie Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Although not the biggest, I've found the Burnden one most comprehensive and consistent for booze... The town centre one in the former Serendipity's is the worst - in fact they might not even stock any. There's ones up Breightmet, Farnworth, Trinity Retail Park (Sainsbury's, Decathalon, Argos) - but Burnden is best for booze. If one isn't picky and works quickly - I guarantee even the most ardent would-be Ollie Reed can get ratlegged for £12 or less at Homey B's (for example 12x500ml Henry Westons Vintage 7.3% and 12p change for a bag of Cheese and Onion) - best and most relevant sponsor since Reebok.

This works out at 87p a can, I'm sure a 330ml can of Coke is 69p - this is the pick of the bargains imo - even though prefer original. 12x Guinness Original £10.50 at Asda. Mirror the 7.3% of the Westons with some 7.3% Guinness Foreign Extra Stout 600ml Bottle £3.35 at Morrisons. Same stuff as above available as 4x325ml Bottles for £6 at Morrisons - ideal for a pint split and a crafty swig. Siren Broken Dream 'Breakfast' Stout 6.5% 4x330ml Cans - £6. Morrisons again.

ErnestTurnip Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 My days of trying for 12 Westons are long gone. Three, possibly 4, on a school night but that's plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yes, but that's even better - shitfaced for £5.94 (6xWestons Vintage) - less than the cost of a single can of some of the fancy dan craft cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green genie Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I've got to brave the KLF defences to get across Tamar to get to a Home Bargains. HW Vintage at that price will make it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 What's took you lot so long? I swallowed my snobbery long ago and have been reaping the benefits ever since they opened at Burnden. I reckon' I've probably saved about £70 on toothpaste alone in that time. The one minor gripe - don't get used to buying a particular product - they often stop stocking it. I got spoiled with Encona Hot Sauce for £1 a bottle, no longer stock it, I have to make do with 69p Windward Sauce now - which is hotter than the sun. I still do in a bottle in about 8-9 days like, I no longer possess tastebuds. Oh aye, they also love shifting useful stuff off the shopfloor to make room for Easter, Mother's/Father's Day, Halloween, Christmas etc. crap and tat. They also stock some shit that's cheap for a reason - anything for the bike made by Francis Stuart Cycles will invariably break when you drop it into your bag at the checkout. Other than that it's good to support our supporter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AG Barr (not the guy that runs some court in america) bottle ROCKSTAR energy pop and they do a SuperSour Bubblegum one .. mixing it with vodka/gin/curacao/chambord or whatever , like being pissed up and wired at the same time with a vaguely hubba bubba taste in the mouth dont think i slept for three days 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 They don't call Bucky 'wreck the hoose Joose' for nowt - it's laden with caffeine. Ditto Vodka Red Bulls. Some of my most shameful exploits in Spain down the years - from Bilbao to La Gomera have been down to Kalimoxto, shit carton red wine mixed with full sugar Coke... Drunk by tramps and socialite offspring of millionaires alike - the better the wine the shitter the Kali, it's a social equalizer. Caffeine dulls the alcohol in these drinks (amongst the Taurine and other crap) so, like when supping with Mr. Chan - you drink more. Similar to this brew of yours. Problem is stimulants wear off quicker than depressants like booze. And chaos usually ensues. 😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you point out youri it’s full of caffeine summat like the equivalent of ten cans of coke in one bottle. The chosen drink of not rights all across Scotland.

jayjayoghani Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Couple of mates at Uni used to talk of "triangulation" when buying drinks. Each point of the triangle being price, alcohol content and volume when assessing value for money getting pissed. Something called Scotsmac I remember was good, no idea if they still sell it. Taste was never considered. Not far off going the local petrol station for a couple of litres of 4-star to neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
