HEY there aren't supposed to be any more FWers here in columbia... go away


alert mods    

wow, they have some rediculous prices on their everyday spirits...


alert mods    

This thread could really be called "DosSpider is an alcoholic." Sets to watch out for:

Frangelico 750ml offers a bottle with 2 handblown glasses that look really pimp
Belvedere offers a 1l bottle with a ice dish and 6 shots glasses
Jack Daniels offers a 1l bottle with 2 squared rocks glasses
Gentleman Jack offers a 1l bottle with 2 rounded rocks glasses with cut glass bottom

That's what I know about coming up so far. The guy up the street sell those at the same price as the bottle would regularly sell for...but a lot of liquor stores around Atlanta sell them for more due to the 'free' glasses. I also believe there's a bailey's irish cream rebate. not sure about that though.

costco generally has some good stuff, if you are a member
and the prices are in line with what the alcohol would cost a costco without the extras


Word to the wise - in Illinois and other states that prohibit drinking "clubs" (common in blue law states) - Costco & Sams cannot require membership to purchase alcohol or charge a surcharge. If you look around their liquor departments, they are required by law to post that policy (in Illinois, anyway).

A couple of years ago we bought several holiday liquor gift sets after Christmas at either Sav-On or Rite-Aid for 75% off. I don't remember anything from January - June of that year.

If anybody spots a Grand Marnier set in SoCal, please share. I'll do some recon tomorrow and see what else is out there in the San Diego area.

Now why in the world would you send them $8 for another 2 glasses? This is FW, think of it as $8 off a second bottle!

If it were a MIR, it would look like:

18 vodka
- 8 glasses MIR
-----------------
$10 AR

I saw the ad for more glasses on the outside. Is there an option to send away for a couple more for free, or is there a charge?

To get the additional glasses, you need to send them $8 for each set of 2. It may seem a little steep, but I really like them and figure it would be nice to have a set of 4 so it's worth it to me.


Cheers!

I saw Patron Silver with 4 shot glasses I believe

Soco with 4 shot glasses
Jager with 2 shot glasses
And a handful of others...

I these usually deals? I like a lot of the "glassware" but not sure how much they overcharge for the "package."

Thanks!

In several of the past years I have bought a Carolans Irish Cream Liquor gift set, with a 750ml bottle of the liquor and a pair of nice little glasses. I think the price was in the $10-12 range. I haven't seen the box set yet this season but I haven't been looking.

For those who like Bailey's, you ought to try Carolans - Wine Enthusiast rates them both as outstanding (I don't think any other Irish cream liquors are as highly rated) and stated that Carolans is actually creamier. According to a little mini-flier I've seen on Carolans bottles, in a supposedly blind taste test, 55% of the testers liked Carolans better than Bailey's and I prefer it over its much better known competitor, as it is smoother and has a bit more caramel flavor. Carolans is about 40% cheaper than Bailey's, too. If any of you have tried other Irish cream liquors, you may have had a bad experience. I've tried a few other of the cheaper brands and it was like drinking a mixture of Carnation evaporated milk and cough syrup - horrible. Carolans is 180 degrees the opposite.

I love these gift sets. They are usually the same price as a single bottle. Most of them come with two glasses, but I've seen some that only come with one glass. That's lame or for hardcore drinkers that don't like to share?

I still use the glasses that came with Baileys from a couple years back, they are well made and pretty. I think I bought mine post season and paid $8 for the set which is even cheaper than just the bottle.

clb4g9 said:In Columbia MO I picked up a bottle of Kahlua w/some weird looking martini-type glasses that are for white russians apparently. There's a form that you can send off for a FREE shaker inside. But the glasses aren't worth much.


I believe you can get the shaker for free via the Kahlua website without purchase.


oh and im in Rolla

I hate living in Pennsylvania...

We have to buy all of our alcohol at State stores or Beer distributors. Pennsylvania is almost as bad as Utah!

Secondly, all of our alcohol is ridiculously over priced!!

Thanks for the heads up on the PA State Store gift sets...I'll have to keep an eye out for the Jaegermeister sets....Love me some good ole 'deer blood'.
