5 for 4 Must be a mistake!

Surely they're supposed to be 4 for 5

Sounds like one supermarket cockup which for a change works in favour of the 
customer. Must rush to our local Somerfields tomorrow morning :-)

Tesco abandoned 4 for 5 some time ago, and now offers 3 for 4. Maybe 
Morrison's still has 4 for 5.

Eh, maybe, but I prefer 5 for 4. perhaps if you prefer 4 for 5 you 
would like 2 for  20.

Poor, and tends to be light damaged due to the clear bottles.

Definitely still has. Not sure if they still stock Fuller's 1845, but 
certainly includes Hopback Summer Lightning.

I do my main weekly shop at Morrison's and always pick up 4 bottles. They 
must have 50 or 60 different ones on offer, but their range always seems 
somewhat underwhelming.

Perhaps they should introduce a "beer of the week" scheme featuring local 
micro breweries.
