A bargain shop has discounted the price of Baileys to less than £10, making it more affordable than major supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Asda. While these supermarkets have also reduced the price of the popular seasonal drink to £10, customers must have the respective loyalty cards for each store to take advantage of the discount. If not, the price can go up to £22. The £10 price point is often the lowest at which supermarkets will offer the liquor, although prices and deals can vary. Waitrose has lowered the price from £17 to £13, while Morrisons is selling it for £22. Costco, however, is now offering one-litre bottles for £9.99, much to the delight of shoppers who have praised the deal.
To access the discounted Baileys at Costco, customers need to be members. Membership eligibility is granted to individuals who hold or are retired from certain types of jobs such as NHS staff, police officers, teachers, and local government workers. Membership fees start from £15 a year for online shopping only, and £33.60 a year for shopping at warehouses. Trade memberships are also available for businesses starting from £24.40 a year. Costco offers numerous perks to its members including low prices, discounted services such as fuel and tyre installation, mortgage services, and pet insurance. The retailer has also introduced digital membership cards for convenience, allowing shoppers to simply scan their phones at checkout.
With 29 stores across the UK, Costco has become a popular option for those looking for discounts and offers. Customers can easily find their nearest location using an online map. The popularity of Costco in the UK has grown since the first store opened in 1993 in Essex, with sites now ranging from Scotland to Southampton. When searching for deals, it is important to compare prices to avoid overpaying. Comparison websites such as Google Shopping and Price Spy can help shoppers find the best prices across a wide range of retailers.
