How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you're planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It's always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don't forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You'll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.

Profitability is overrated, says Ocado boss Tim Steiner
The City is wrong to 'obsess' over short-term profitability, as tech companies burn cash in pursuit of scale, the boss of Ocado Group has said. The online supermarket operator, which has been branded a 'jam tomorrow' stock for its years of losses, has long been criticised for achieving a full-year pre-tax profit only once in its 25-year history. Tim Steiner, co-founder and chief executive of the technology and grocery provider best known for its partnership with Marks & Spencer, said the market should take a longer view. 'Our shareholders should only have invested if they believe that in the long term we're going to be a profitable business,' he said. 'It's right to have a focus but it can sometimes be wrong to overly obsess about it in the short term and not consider the long term.' Ocado Group, which includes technology and logistics divisions, has had a turbulent time. Founded in 2000 by three former Goldman Sachs executives, its value has plunged from £22 billion during the pandemic to £2 billion, pushing it out of the FTSE 100 last year. The dramatic fall from grace has attracted plenty of criticism from analysts and rivals. Philip Dorgan, then an analyst at the broker Ambrian Partners, once quipped that 'Ocado begins with an 'o', ends with an 'o' and is worth zero,' while Sir Terry Leahy, the former Tesco boss, dismissed it as little more than a 'charity', given its appetite for big losses. • 'Jam tomorrow' Ocado struggles to spread the word 'I'm sure at times some of it is warranted and at times some of it may not be,' Steiner admitted. 'I don't spend too much time, to be honest, focused on it because I'd have probably gone mad.' He added that he tries not to dwell on market sentiment: 'I've just got to keep going. It will become a great business. And hopefully one day, you know, all will realise [that].' He believes part of the problem is perception. Despite years spent investing in automation, robotics and software, Steiner said the market still sees Ocado primarily as a grocer rather than a tech company. 'I think why people still question us is because we launched a very large new business in the last seven-odd years. It means we have spent a lot of capital on creating the IP and the technology.' It's a strategy that mirrors some of Silicon Valley's biggest names. Amazon didn't turn a profit for almost a decade. The FTSE 250 company said on Thursday that turning cashflow positive by 2027 was now its 'core priority'. Steiner said full-year profitability could come 'shortly thereafter or around the same time', depending on the scale and timing of future investments. That's a slight shift from previous guidance, which had last year forecast a move into the black within five to six years, by 2023. • Ocado changed the food business. But will it ever make money? Not everyone is impressed. Clive Black of Shore Capital, a long-time critic of the business, questioned the market reaction. 'We are not sure we should be putting up the bunting for the firm to be full-year cash positive in 2027 for the first time after [25] years of trading,' he said. 'Such stuff is far from premium equity matter.' Shares in Ocado closed up 43½p, or 18.5 per cent, at 279p as the company hailed 'strong' trading over the past half-year, with sales boosted by growth in its technology arm and stronger performance at its Marks & Spencer venture. Still, the stock remains down about 25 per cent over the past 12 months, with investors unnerved by a slowdown in Higher prices and an increase in customer orders helped Ocado Group to offset a drop in the number of items per shop at its retail joint venture with Marks & Spencer in the first half of the year. Ocado Retail reported a 16.3 per cent rise in revenue to £1.5 billion in the six months to June 24, thanks to a rise in order numbers, active customers and improved frequency of purchase. Although the average number of items per basket declined, the average basket value increased by 0.7 per cent to £124.19. There was a 1.4 per cent rise in the average selling price, which Ocado noted was still below grocery inflation of 3.1 per cent. The performance, driven by improved marketing efforts and a broader range of M&S products, helped to narrow Ocado Retail's operating loss from £25.7 million to £17.1 million. Ocado Group posted a pre-tax profit of £611.8 million for the half-year, rebounding from a £153.3 million loss a year earlier, in part because of a £750 million accounting boost from its M&S partnership. The joint venture between Ocado and Marks & Spencer launched in September 2020, replacing Waitrose as the grocery partner on Ocado's online platform. The partnership, formed in 2019, boomed during the pandemic but suffered a 'challenging year' in 2022 when the retail arm sank £4 million into the red. Customers put fewer items in their baskets and used more discount vouchers during the cost of living crisis. Ocado Group dived to a £500 million loss that year. Performance has improved thanks to a 'reset' of Ocado Retail focusing on improving the customer experience, marketing and product availability. Investors reacted positively as Ocado Group hailed 'strong' trading over the past half year as sales jumped on the back of progress in its technology arm and it reported rising demand from UK shoppers. The London-listed company revealed that group revenues increased by 13.2 per cent to £674 million for the six months to June 1, compared with the same period a year earlier. It noted 14.9 per cent growth in its technology business as it benefited from further expansion and investment. Revenue at the company's third-party logistics business rose by 12.1 per cent, largely driven by a rise in inflation. Steiner said sentiment had improved and supermarkets were not so reluctant to invest in technology and automation, despite geopolitical uncertainty in the UK and in the US. Steiner recently stepped in as interim chief of Ocado Solutions, which licenses the group's warehouse automation to global supermarkets, after a two-year struggle to secure a permanent replacement for the division's former boss. He said the reason was to rebuild relations with clients after many paused or reduced expansion plans: 'To get closer to our clients and potential clients and actually get the team's client relationship, the revenue generation side, and the product development all working closer together.' Ocado Solutions is seen by investors as a promising growth engine, thanks to its potential to offer warehouse automation and software to major grocery players around the world. However, the division has hit headwinds: it is grappling with a pause at Kroger in the US, a halt at Sobeys in Canada and a scale-back by Morrisons.

Heat pump handout? It'll take 25 years to get your money back
Ed Miliband could offer homeowners with heat pumps £200 off their bills - meaning it would take around 25 years to pay off the upfront cost. The Energy Secretary would offer the grants to reduce the running costs of the green technology, under plans to phase out gas boilers. Heat pumps typically cost around £5,000 once a taxpayer-funded subsidy of £7,500 is applied, so it would take decades to recoup the upfront cost through savings to bills. Under the plans, all homes with heat pumps would see an average fall in energy bills of 15 per cent, paid for by taxpayers. And the money would come from the £13.2billion 'warm homes' fund agreed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves at the spending review last month. Industry figures are understood to have put forward the submissions to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to incentivise homeowners to quit gas boilers. The cost of electricity per unit for consumers is about four times higher than gas, which can make heat pumps more expensive to run. An additional £200 off bills could help to plug this gap. This could be funded through a levy on gas bills, covered by a Government fund. The cost to taxpayers would increase each year if more houses install heat pumps. There could also be support for the 300,000 households that have already got the technology, and taxpayers could completely cover the cost of heat pumps for low-income families. A Labour source said the proposals were not under active consideration by the department but were requests from the industry. However, they added that Mr Miliband is looking to help those who do want to install the environmentally-friendly technology. Heat pumps produce three to four times the energy they use, making them much more efficient than a gas boiler, but they also have a far higher upfront cost. The UK's climate change committee said earlier this year that half of homes should have pumps installed by 2040 to meet the country's legal goal of net zero emissions by 2050, up from about only 1 per cent now. There will be a consultation on the plans in October, according to The Times, and a Bill would need to pass through Parliament to enact them. A spokesman for the Department for Energy said: 'We do not recognise this speculation. Our clean energy mission is the best route to bring down bills for good.' Meanwhile, the Conservatives announced they would remove blocks on building new nuclear power plants to lower bills if they win the next election. They said the current 'green tape' adds millions of pounds to project costs.

EXCLUSIVE Britain's billionaire exodus: All the super-rich business tycoons who have fled Labour's tax raids...and why more could soon follow
The Aston Villa co-owner and three of London 's wealthiest property developers are among the billionaires who have already left Britain in the wake of Labour's tax raids. Research by New World Wealth suggests the UK has lost 18 dollar billionaires over the last two years - more than any other country in the world. Those who are known to have left include Nassef Sawiris, the Egyptian co-owner of Aston Villa FC, who has shifted his tax residency to Italy - according to legal documents revealed in April. Brothers Ian and Richard Livingstone, who oversee a £9billion property empire in the UK and abroad, an online casino and plush Monte Carlo hotel, have quit Britain for Monaco. Another billionaire developer, Malawi-born Asif Aziz - owner of the former London Trocadero on Piccadilly Circus - moved his tax residency to Abu Dhabi at the end of last year. Rachel Reeves ' October budget has been blamed for driving the exodus by abolishing the non-dom tax regime and imposing inheritance tax on the worldwide assets of foreigners who have lived in Britain for more than 10 years. And a leading tax advisor today warned that the flood of billionaires out of Britain could increase even further if Labour decides to impose a wealth tax - a move Sir Keir Starmer has notably refused to rule out. David Lesperance, the founder of tax and immigration advisory Lesperance and Partners, said 50 per cent of his 'ultra-high net worth' clients had already departed the UK since Labour came to power and predicted half that number again would flee the imposition of a wealth tax. 'A large group moved because of the inheritance tax changes, but some decided they would be able to mitigate the hit because they were young, could get insurance to cover it, or could take advantage of some of the tax solutions available,' he told MailOnline. 'But if you bring in a wealth tax, that mitigation is neutralised, so it's another force that will drive those who haven't already left to leave. 'The general public might not mind the idea of wealthy people leaving, but the reality is that in a progressive tax system you are extremely dependent on a tiny number of taxpayers, so if they leave it will have a huge impact on tax revenue. 'And at the same time these golden geese feel their being driven out of the UK, other countries are promising to offer them a better tax deal. 'If a wealth tax comes in, ultra-high net worth people will say ''London is nice, but not yet nice'' and head to all the countries who are actively welcoming them.' Mr Lesperance pointed out that wealth taxes - which are levied on the total value of an individuals' assets - are 'very difficult to administer', with many nations who have brought in the levies subsequently repealing them. Given this, he believes Ms Reeves is more likely to introduce an exit tax - which takes the form of a one-off fee on people moving their tax residency to another country. 'When you have a wealth tax, people will give the lowest figure possible for the value of their assets, and if HMRC wants to challenge it, that will take time and money,' he said. 'I don't see a wealth tax because it won't be good for the goal of maximising revenue. 'I would say it's more likely the Autumn Statement could include an exit tax. But if that happens, advisors will be telling their clients to leave before it comes in.' Several billionaires have been open about their reasons for leaving, with Nassef Sawiris blaming Labour's inheritance tax clampdown and a 'decade of incompetence' under the Tories. Britain's ninth richest billionaire, John Fredriksen, declared last month that Britain had 'gone to hell' as he explained his reasons for moving his shipping firm from London to the United Arab Emirates. The Norwegian had previously run his private firm, Seatankers Management, from an office in Sloane Square. But he told newspaper E24 that the UK had become a worse place to do business. 'It's starting to remind me more and more of Norway,' he said. 'Britain has gone to hell, like Norway. 'People should get up and work even more, and go to the office instead of having a home office.' In May, The Sunday Times Rich List estimated that the UK had 156 billionaires, down from 165 the year before and the largest annual drop since the list began in 1989. Putting an exact figure on the number of billionaires leaving the country is complicated by the difficulty of calculating an individuals' wealth and working out their tax residency if they do not make this information public. Labour donor Laskhmi Mittal was reported in March as telling friends that he would probably leave the UK. The Indian-born businessman is also the owner of property on London's exclusive Kensington Palace Gardens, which has been dubbed 'billionaire's row'. He bought what was then the world's most expensive home for £67million in 2004. It comes as new figures showed the number of non-dom taxpayers in the UK dipped last year prior to the Government clamping down on the tax status, official figures show. There were about 73,700 people claiming non-domiciled tax status in the year ending in April last year, according to estimates from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). This was 400 fewer than the 2022-23 tax year, or a dip of about 0.5 per cent. The number of non-doms, according to self-assessment tax returns, stood 3,900 below that in the tax year ending 2020. It indicates a slowdown in the number of people claiming the tax status following a post-pandemic resurgence. Non-domiciled means UK residents whose permanent home, or their 'domicile' for tax purposes, is outside the UK. The regime meant that so-called non-doms paid tax in the UK only on income generated in the UK - meaning any income earned overseas was exempt from British taxation. However, the Labour Government abolished the non-dom tax status in April following backlash that wealthy residents could enjoy the benefits of living in the UK without paying as much tax. Previous chancellor Jeremy Hunt estimated that scrapping the regime would raise about £2.7billion for the Treasury by 2028-29. HMRC's data published on Thursday showed that some £9billion was raised from non-doms paying income tax, capital gains tax and national insurance last year. This was a £107million increase on the prior year, despite the dip in the number of individuals. Even so, campaigners insist HRMC will suffer in the long-term if some of Britain's biggest taxpayers are driven out. Leslie MacLeod-Miller runs Foreign Investors for Britain (FIFB), a lobby group set up after the July general election. He told MailOnline: 'Wealth is already shifting to countries like Italy, Dubai, and Switzerland. 'The government needs to show bold leadership and implement a bold policy change before Britain's 'golden geese' take their 'golden eggs' abroad to other countries that are actively courting them. 'The Office for Budget Responsibility warned this July that continued reliance on this small population of top taxpayers represents a growing fiscal risk. 'The government needs to act now, talk of a wealth tax will only increase the exodus of this high income – and high investing, employing and growth-creating group. Fiscal sense rather than ideology needs to prevail.'
