Harry Potter fans scramble to bargain supermarket after spotting ‘elite’ treat for £1
HARRY Potter fans have been scrambling to a bargain supermarket after spotting an “elite” treat on shelves.
Farmfoods is selling Flying Cauldron non-alcoholic Butterscotch beer and fans of the series are flocking to get their hands on it.
The drink is inspired by Butterbeer – a drink that is served in magical cafes and pubs in the Harry Potter film and book series.
It was sold in bottles in Tesco supermarkets in 2019, but shoppers usually have to import the drink from the United States if they want to enjoy it at home.
In the UK, you have to visit the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London to try the tipple.
Excited shoppers couldn’t wait to share the rare find with other fans on social media.
Posting in the Food Finds UK Official group, one Facebook user said: “Don’t know if these have been posted before. Harry Potter style butter beer- non-alcoholic- drink, £1.29.”
Commenting on the post, another shopper wrote: “I need to go there and get some.”
Another added: “They are lovely.”
While a third fan described the drink as “elite”.
Unfortunately you won’t be able to buy it online but it is available in stores.
You can find your nearest Farmfoods store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
But we had a Google to see if we could find any other retailers selling the canned fantasy drink and we couldn’t fine one.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
How to save money at Farmfoods
Fans of Farmfoods will know that there are plenty of bargains to be had, but some might be more worth it than others.
The supermarket often has great deals for shoppers to get their hands on.
Farmfoods is typically well known for its frozen food.
Buying frozen food, like vegetables and fruit, can help you cut costs as it’ll last a lot longer than refrigerated items.
You can stock up on pretty much anything frozen at Farmfoods – from prawns to peas to chips.
Farmfoods has had some great offers on milk in the past so it’s one to keep an eye out if you’re running out.
One TikToker managed to pick up a carton of soya milk – which can sometimes be more expensive than dairy milk – for just 9p.
It may be surprising to read that Farmfoods can offer some great deals on beauty products.
One shopper was stunned to find some amazing bargains at her local store.
As it is a great go-to for frozen items, shoppers might also want to consider Farmfoods for ready meals.
The supermarket often has deals where you and get three for £5.
They tend to be quick and easy to cook so are great for busy households who might not have had time to prepare a complete meal.
