Drink wise, there are bargains to be had and especially with Guinness and Magners to name two brands. The snag is, in comparison to off licences this side of the border, the range of beers is woeful so unless you drink the mega keg brands, you may be found wanting a decent brew.

I find the complete opposite to be the case (unless you make the mistake of going to Dunnes). Sainsburys tends to carry the brilliant Whitewater ale range (Belfast Ale, Clotworthy Dobbin) as well as stuff from Meantime, Harviestoun, Titanic, Brakspear, Wychwood and a bunch of other top-class UK breweries.

Tesco tends to have a good range as well.

Though I'll grant you that "decent brew" is a somewhat subjective term.
