If Christmas isn’t complete in your household without a bottle of Baileys, then you’ll want to make your way to your nearest Asda this weekend to get your hands on a bargain.
As part of its early Black Friday deals – which falls this year on the 27th November – the leading supermarket retailer is offering shoppers the chance to grab the classic Christmas tipple at an incredibly discounted price in the lead up to the festive period.
And even better yet, one whole litre of it too.
Available for a limited time only from Asda stores nationwide, Baileys fans pick up a litre of The Original Irish Cream liqueur for just £10 this weekend.
This unmissable deal will be running from Friday 19th – Sunday 22nd November.

This is on top of the fact that Baileys is actually already rollbacked to £12 at Asda, when the standard price for a bottle that of that size usually retails for £20, so if you were to head down to your nearest store before Friday, you can still get an impressive 40% off, but over the weekend, you’ll save a tasty 50%.
The deal will be available across all Asda stores in England and Wales.

Asda has unfortunately not yet confirmed as to whether this deal or similar deals will be available on any other variations of the liqueur, or whether it will be able to purchase online too as well as in store, so shoppers are advised to keep their eyes peeled and fingers crossed.
If you are planning on heading to your nearest Asda this weekend, you are also advised to check the opening times and COVID-restrictions for your local branch ahead of your trip.
Morrisons is also selling one litre bottles of Baileys at the discounted price of £12 until 24th November when they would usually cost £20, but customers must note that they are limited to just one bottle each under the promotion, so if you purchase a second bottle, you will be charged the full £20 for that.
Sainsbury’s are also doing the £12 promotion, but without the limitations of one bottle per customer.
At Tesco, one litre bottles of Baileys are currently retailing at £15 – significantly more than at Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s – but those who are ‘Clubcard’ members can bottles for £12.
You’d still be better off going to Asda over the weekend though.

First-ever JD Wetherspoon pub to open at Manchester Airport
Danny Jones
In news that we feel many Mancs and travellers all-round have been waiting on for a long time, the well-known British chain, JD Wetherspoon, will be opening its first-ever pub at Manchester Airport.
That’s right: soon that first airport pint of the holiday could actually be a relatively cheap one.
While Wetherspoons are no strangers to popping up in terminals across the UK and Ireland, they’ve never done so here in Manchester despite having three, yes THREE, in Gatwick alone.
Not for much longer, though, as soon T2 will be lending more than 3,000 square feet of its prime leisure and retail real estate to a new Greater Manchester ‘Spoons’.
Posting on social media, the airport wrote: “Wetherspoon comes to Manchester Airport this September! The pub will be located in the Terminal 2 Departures lounge and will have more than 300 seats.
“This will become the final major food and drink venue to open its doors as part of our decade-long £1.3bn transformation of Terminal 2. It will be named ‘The Belle Vue’, in a nod to Manchester’s historic showground [now a sports complex and leisure hub].
“It was a focal point for social life in the city from the Victorian period up until 2020, when the final event was held at Belle Vue stadium. The design of the pub is inspired by the history of Belle Vue and the sporting culture of the North West of England. We look forward to welcoming you all in September!”
While a lot of money has been pumped into T2’s refurb as a whole over the past few years, it remains unclear just how much this particular new addition will cost; we do know that great sums were set aside for the launch of the Great Northern Market last year.
The inaugural Manchester Airport Spoons is just the latest in a series of major renovations.
As mentioned, the company already operate several up and down the country – 10 airport pubs, to be specific – but this will be the first in the North West.
Speaking on the news, JD Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said in a statement: “We are looking forward to opening at Manchester Airport. We believe our new pub will prove popular with travellers of all ages and be an asset to the new terminal.”
With Manchester Airport adding a dozen new routes to its roster this summer, you can expect to see even more people flying in and out than ever – no doubt having already polished off a cut-price pint or two beforehand.
