Plainfield Liquor & Tobacco

Another month, another sin run…
Went on a field trip to the ‘burbs with Jenn H. After discovering that Plainfield was NOT in Cook County and, therefore, not subject to its draconian taxes, I suggested we hit a place for smokes, thereby saving me $$$ that could be better spent on the restoration of Ye Olde Crack House. Jenn, being ever so helpful, suggested this joint.
Sure, they have booze, lots of it. Although I was there for smokes, I did give the liquor a quick glance — it was there, they had a decent — if standard — selection, and the pricing seemed to be in line. That being said, the real reason to come to this store is the cheap smokes — 3 cartons of Camel Lights for $ 103 with taxes vs. the $ 260 or so you would pay in the city!
Yup, that’s another $ 150 in taxes Todd Stroger isn’t going to spend giving his relatives a pay raise. Look at me, sticking it to the man and such! What a thrill, and a relatively cheap one at that.
Nice staff, clean store, plenty of parking and you won’t feel like you need to get a third job just to support your *still legal* nicotine habit. On the rare occasions I’m out in this neck of the woods, I’ll be sure to stop back in.
