Now to be completely frugal I should be tee total but life
is short and I have to be honest that I do like the odd glass of wine or two on a Saturday evening
whilst watching Strictly on the telly. I
was also thinking of Christmas and New Year with friends coming over.
Now my favourite wine costs £9 a bottle (I know very expensive tastes), you can buy a
perfectly nice Chardonnay in Aldi for £4.99 and that is what I usually do. However it is Christmas and I thought I would
treat myself to my favourite as it is smoother and tastes so much more lush but
£9 is a tad steep.
However Tesco currently have it on offer at £7 a bottle and
if you buy 6 bottles or more they also have a 25% off deal at the moment so I
did treat myself and got my £9 wine for £5.45 a bottle. Whilst still 46p a bottle more expensive than the very palatable Chardonnay on offer at Aldi the quality is worth it.
It is a treat at a much discounted rate. I no longer go mad at Christmas and will
detail my spends in a later blog. We
will have a great Christmas Lunch with homemade Christmas Cake and homemade
mince pies. Not going too mad and
keeping spends in check but we will be well fed and a little merry and so the budget booze I've stocked up on I don't feel too guilty about.
