Bargain Booze

Now I’ve got to prove to the world that I’m not a Special Brew swilling tramp who frequents parks and is partial to sleeping on benches. However, I will continue to fuel those rumours by my love of this Bargain Booze.
Let me put this into perspective. Sometimes you want cheap booze but you also want cheap quality booze. Well this little beauty priovides the two.
It’s also useful for loads of stuff, getting rid of your letters and stocking up on some alcohol soaking snacks. I love my posh emporiums, I really do. From time to time though Bargain Booze fits the bill and this one especially. Maybe it’s because it is en route to several of my friends houses or maybe it’s because I actually am a tramp. Oh well, tramps these days have way too much access to the internet. I’ll go find a dog to worry and some people to scare now but first up I’ll get myself a fine bottle of red or even meths if I’m pushing the boat out. In all seriousness though this is a good stop off joint.

Car tax is another of those boring but necessary tasks that motorists wish we didn’t have to do but has to be done. Even though I try to plan ahead I always end up rushing to this post office to get my car tax the day it is due. Luckily for me this little post office doesn’t offer the same fate as those closer to the town centre; that is they don’t have the mandatory 45 minutes wait. It is only small but it is crammed to the rafters with toys, stationery, wine and crafty bits all at very reasonable prices. It means that the very short waiting time is made more interesting and inevitably I end up spending more than I originally thought as I am sucker for stationery. It also has some cheap wine and booze on offer which is great to console yourself after spending your hard earned cash on something as boring as road tax! The lady behind the counter is also very friendly and quick which helps if you are in a rush, as I predictably always am in.

This handy little shop is somewhat of a chameleon, in so far as it seems to fit several categories. It is all at once a post office, bargain booze and newsagents which is perhaps a bizarre mix but it’s certainly useful in such a little town as Oakwood.
It’s quite a small shop but nonetheless I’ve never seen it particularly heaving, so if you are nipping through and need to post a parcel I can imagine this being a rather modest and simple task — certainly nothing like the hell of using the town post office, that’s for sure!
They sell all kinds of cheap booze deals, which is great for anyone living locally too. As well as that there are all the snacks, crisps, confectionary, stationary and other related newsy items that you could hope for. My favourite part is their über, and I mean über, awesome little sweet bags for £1. You get *loads* of delicious penny sweets in a huge bag for just a quid! Penny-​sweet-​tastic.
The shop on the whole is reasonably friendly, certainly the chap at the counter was nice enough if nothing else. All in all, pretty handy to know about!
