Liquor Store

We all know that state run liquor stores suck. But in Idaho, what’s the alternative besides buying your booze in another state and bring it home. Hmmmm… sounds like «bootlegging» to me.
I love this liquor store. The variety and stock is ample. The staff has always been super friendly.
When I need variety, I visit this location.

Here’s my most recent example of why I stockpile liquor while I’m in L.A.
1.75L bottle of Crown Royal in L.A.: $ 32.99 (Costco)
Same bottle at state-​run store in Idaho: $ 53.95
750mL bottle of Suntory Yamazaki Whisky in L.A.: $ 41.95 (Beverage Warehouse)
Same bottle in Idaho (if you can even find it): $ 52.45
1.75L bottle of Skyy Vodka in L.A.: $ 19.99 (Costco)
Same bottle in Idaho: $ 29.95
1L bottle of Jameson Whiskey in L.A.: $ 19.99 (Trader Joe’s)
750mL bottle in Idaho: $ 26.95
750mL bottle of Crown Royal Black in L.A.: $ 25.95 (Beverage Warehouse)
Same bottle in Idaho: $ 31.95
I bought two bottles of all of the above except for the Crown Royal Black, of which I bought one bottle.
Subtotal in L.A.: $ 255.79
Tax (8.75%): $ 22.38
Total: $ 278.17
Subtotal in Idaho: $ 358.55
Tax (6%): $ 21.51
Total: $ 380.06
Savings: $ 101.89, plus an extra 500 mL of Jameson, which would amount to a little over $ 19 extra after tax.
Hooray for a free market system for liquor!

All of the liquor stores in Idaho are state owned… they are all the same… don’t try to use a fake ID or they will take it away. Get your older brother or sister to buy it for you instead or just settle for beer from the chevron on Broadway.
