Best prices for adult beverages in SoWal?

[Beach Runner]

The last time I bought the fixin's for margaritas in SoWal, I dropped $100 (excluding the limes and ice). And I didn't buy expensive tequila. I bought Jose Cuevo gold, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, and mix. We were going to make another round last Saturday night, but decided to save $100 and drink beer.

Where's the cheapest place to buy alcohol within a reasonable drive from Seagrove?

Wow! It's been a long time since I've bought any alcohol!

I will definitely have to try that. But I love a good margarita when I'm at the beach.

I have been interested in checking the prices at Cash's in Freeport. I figure the rent has to be cheaper than what Chan pays for his, ergo some of the savings may go to the consumer. But who knows, I think they can only sell booze at a certain minimum price so traditional market forces are not at work

I do try to pack light (well not really, I look something like the Clampits on my way down) but one thing I do pack is liquer. A couple of bottles of your favorite spirits really doesn't take up that much room. As I stated before, my new favorite beach drink is a Gin Bucket. I brought a big bottle down with me, but did have to go out and restock. The same bottle I paid 15.00 for here cost me 25.00 down there. Who know I'd have a bunch of lushes in my house
Next year, I will pack more

I have to say, I'm the same way. I pack the booze and bring it with me--not so much the wine and beer because that's not expensive to get locally, but the spirits, yes. BTW, Beach Runner, today I was in Williams-Sonoma buying their margarita mix. I bought the classic but I noticed you can also get it in different flavors (I think red grapefruit was one). The bottle was $12.50 and all I had to add was the tequila. Oh, throw in another $2 for the handblown margarita glasses I bought on summer sale at Crate & Barrel. I'm not bad for a cheap date.

I brought the hard liquor for jello shots with me. So much cheaper here at home. Did find one bargain at the little liquor store by the Watercolor Publix - 4 packs of Sofia Sparkling White Wine in cans for $11.99 (but I think I got the last of their stock.) They were PERFECT for our evenings over at Grayton Beach, and here at home they are $15.99 (the only thing I found down there that was cheaper.) These are like juice boxes for grown-ups (even come with little straws!)

I've found the best prices at Sam's on 23rd Street in Panama City or the Winn Dixie on 98 in Inlet Beach (get a free saver's card). Really not that far, considering what you can save. Sam's also has fabulous huge King Crab legs at great prices from time to time!

Does the Winn-Dixie have hard liquor? I've found that beer and wine are cheaper at the beach, but hard liquor is cheaper at home. We've dropped a boatload of money for margarita fixin's at both the liquor store by Publix and the one at Grayton Corners.

MM, we're going to W-S tonight before having dinner at Thai Spice in Peachtree City - yum. I need one of those lemon juicers. I'll have to try their margarita mix - thanks for the tip. Last summer we bought the acrylic margarita glasses at W-S so we could enjoy them while in the pool or hot tub. I don't allow glass poolside for safety reasons.
