| 2. Author: neilholland999 Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 08:27 Did you know about the Berwick prices in advance, or did you just take a punt? If the former, how did you find out about the prices? Reply |
| 3. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 08:30 Worth it if buying in bulk but not factoring in the cost of your time. A far cry from the traditional booze cruise to France to load up the boot with wine and beer. Those days were already long gone and Brexit was the final nail in the coffin. Reply |

| 8. Author: fcda Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 15:22 Depends what brand you were looking at (Royal Terrace?) but it`s generally cheaper to buy from Amazon.

| 12. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 16:08 Buspasspar, Fri 14 Feb 15:52 Someone said on another thread that they were. I assumed it depended which depot the alcohol was sourced at. Reply |
| 13. Author: Buspasspar Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 16:21 My Granddaughter works in Tesco and they used to do Whyte and Mackay for £20 club card When the second minimum price rise came in it went up to £26 and was told it will never to fall below that again due to the policy I may be totally wrong here but I don`t think any one can deliver to a Scotland address at English prices .. interesting if there is a loophole We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 14. Author: allparone Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 16:43 Buspasspar, Fri 14 Feb 16:21 There is a loophole. From the Scot.gov site “Minimum unit pricing does not apply to alcohol sales which are despatched from outside Scotland directly to a buyer within Scotland. For example, fulfilling an online order.” Reply |
| 15. Author: ipswichpar Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 16:52 There are some weird things across the border. If I go on the NHS website it does ask what country I live in, but also where my GP surgery is (I.e can live in Scotland or England but receive treatment in the other). Reply |
| 16. Author: Buspasspar Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 17:02 Well allparone you may have just saved me £12 in petrol money .. Will miss the MacD which is opposite Morrisons tho .. ach weel We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 17. Author: fcda Date: Fri 14th Feb 2025. 17:15 Buspasspar, Fri 14 Feb 15:52 Yes Amazon can deliver here at those prices. My numbers were off the Morrisons site after selecting pick up from Berwick. Guess W+M has gone up. Edit: Free delivery at Amazon with Amazon Prime or if the order is over £35, so two bottles.
