jerryskids 6,813 Posted May 17, 2024 For lovers of fine whiskey: at least one Costco in our area now has in stock Jack Daniels Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Rye. This is the best whiskey I've ever tasted under $100 a bottle. If you can find it in a liquor store, which is uncommon, it runs about $90. Costco has it for... $57 per bottle. There are some different bottlings, but being barrel proof (cask strength), it is in the 120-130+ proof range. Yet so smooth. You can read the labels for the bottling specifics. I bought two different bottlings. I actually learned about it from a worker at an awesome boutique liquor store/bar/restaurant near my Mayo called Trevor's https://www.trevors.com/mayo I asked the worker if they had it in stock, and he mentioned the Costco deal. I looked at him for a few seconds, and he said "yeah, I bought a bottle there." Even the Costco checkout guy was like "I bought a bottle of this when I found it, and paid, ohhh, $35 more than Costco is charging." Check your Costco if they have it. You won't be disappointed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,813 Posted May 17, 2024 5 minutes ago, BunnysBastatrds said: Reason 77 to get a Costco membership I just looked this up because I heard about it: in some states (including AZ), you do NOT need a membership to by alcohol at Costco. Quote These states let you buy alcohol at Costco without a membership You can buy alcohol at Costco without a paid membership, as long as you're in an eligible state, like California or New York. Local laws prevent membership-only clubs like Costco or Sam's Club from withholding alcohol sales to the general public. The full list of states includes: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Indiana Kentucky Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota New York Texas Vermont https://www.cnet.com/culture/what-can-you-get-at-costco-without-a-membership/ Apparently you can buy prescriptions and eye exams (but not glasses) without a membership in every state.

I buy stuff from TotalWine all the time, love them. Their app for pre-buying is the best, if you know what you want in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
