I always laugh at the thought of Budget Booze. With it's name teetinging on the edge of a negative implication, particularly in termsof modern slang.. The irony is that in reality, the booze sold in this off license is, not at all budget, but really rather expensive. If anything, it is their meagre selection that is pretty budget.
Selling rubbish wine is really what it does, as well as hardly inexpensive bottles of spirits, with a pathetic array of canned lager with the odd bottle of Strongbow or Frosty Jacks for good measure.
The shop itself is pretty bizarre. Despite it being in an ideal location, at the crossroads that merges Hyde Park, Woodhouse and Headingley, it's fluorescent shopfront really does not do it any favours. Within, you can find a man and his mate either watching telly or listening to unreasonably loud music, that prompts you to shout when you're at the till. I once walked in to the smell of a freshly smoked cigarette, which leads me to question whether they illegally smoke within the shop, when nobody is about.
The bottom line is, there are some fairly okay deals on some of the (barely drinkable) wine, but as a whole, the competitors around the area are cheaper and have a better selection of tipples. read more
