Asda's Baileys is currently priced at £13, which is the same as Amazon, where the festive drink was reduced by a whopping 41 per cent, down from £22 to £13.

However, shoppers can get it reduced to just £13 if they have a Nectar card.
Tesco is selling its Baileys for £22, but Clubcard members can enjoy a £9 discount, bringing their price down to £13.
Prices may vary in-store and online too, and if you're ordering online remember to factor in delivery fees too.
It's worth noting too that these or other supermarkets could still sell Baileys for less between now and Christmas.
In previous years supermarkets including Tesco and Sainsbury's have sold the festive tipple for £10 for a 1L bottle - though there's no guarantee they will be as low again this year.
To compare prices between stores, go to the supermarket's website and browse prices ahead of visiting.
For different sized bottles, you can look at how much each one costs per 100ml, to work out which is the best deal overall.
How else can I save money on Baileys?
Recently, shoppers have gone wild for an Aldi product which serves as the "perfect" Bailey's dupe.
If you want to save even more cash, you can purchase the 70cl Ballycastle cream liqueur for £5.79 - just 82p per 100ml.
Shoppers have described the product as "lush" and "gorgeous" on Facebook.
The Ballycastle product even comes in several flavours, such as the newest addition, which is a Milk Chocolate Clementine version for £7.49.
If you're willing to give something new a try, this could save you up to £16.21 on one bottle of Bailey's.
In fact, for the price of one Bailey's bottle from Morrisons or Asda (£22.00), you could almost buy four bottles of the Ballycastle make.
However, while the ABV (alcohol by volume) of Bailey's is 16%, the Ballycastle booze is 12%.
Other supermarkets which have brought out their own Bailey's dupes include Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrison's, Asda, Lidl and M&S.
While the cheapest is Ballycastle, Lidl's Irish Cream Liqueur is the second cheapest at £1.14 per 100ml.
In Tesco, the 70cl own brand liqueur is £8.50, at £1.21 per 100ml, and in Sainsbury's, it is £9 at £1.28 per 100ml.

What are unit prices and how to do they help shoppers?
Unit prices make it easier for shoppers to compare similar items of different sizes, explains consumer editor Lynsey Barber.
You should be able to see the product's unit price where its price tag is shown - it may be in small print.
It displays the cost of different products by weight or volume.
It helps you easily compare the costs of different products, regardless of their respective sizes.
Compare this with the unit price of a similar item - for example, the cost per 100ml or two different types of cola - and choose the item with the lowest unit cost.
For example if a pack of 15 330ml cans of Coca-Cola Zero is priced at £7.90, then the unit price is shown as 16p per 100ml.
Shoppers can compare this to a 2-litre bottle of Coca-Cola Zero which is priced at £1.85, as it is also labelled as 9p per 100ml.
Major supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's also show these unit prices on loyalty prices.
Stores must show unit pricing under legislation known as the Price Marking Order 2004.
With this in mind, paying close attention to the unit prices of the staples in your shopping trolley could save you a fortune in the long term
