Beer, Wine, Liquor Deals In Ontario Only.

[bluekona]

I figured it might be a good idea to have a continued thread for beer, wine and liquor deals. I know when I need beer I go to a walk-in beer store so I can check out what is on special. I also like to try different wines and liquor and will often buy what is on special at the time. I thought it might be good to know what's on special ahead of time, and maybe have a review of some products.

So, I'll start off with:

Beer
1) $26 inc. deposit for 20-pack of Rickard's White/Red. IMO good price for great beers. Guy at the beer store said the special should be on until the summer.
2) I'm pretty sure 2-4's of Sleeman are still on special for $33.95 inc. deposit.

Wine
XOXO wines are $1 off. Pretty basic and still no-too-bad wine for $8.95 at LCBO.

Liquor
Panama Jack's is $3 off at the LCBO. I bought a bottle because it was way cheaper than Baileys and I actually prefer the taste.

That's all I've got for now. Remember to drink...responsibly

I really like the idea of this thread - may want to change title to Ontario only though, as this could quickly stray from the uniform prices found in Ontario. Other provinces have such vast pricing if sold at an independant retailer, so it would be very YMMV, wheras LCBO and Beer Store prices are the same accross the board.

I'll contribute if I find anything for sure.

I've been doing some wine shopping on the Bin Ends sections of Vintages Online. I found some great deals by sorting by price then ascending.

I get it shipped to my local LCBO (free shipping) and it arrives well packaged in a box. Everytime I've got prompt delivery (1-2 weeks) and multiple phone calls to remind me to pick up my order.

A nice thing is that if you go pick up your order during a busy time, you don't have to line up, as they process your order at customer service counter. Just goto the desk and tell them that you received a phone call to pick up your booze

P.S. I've only been able to get the site to complete the checkout process using IE. Chrome didn't work for me.

Like midget_man said, please change the topic to Ontario-only.

Still too rich for my blood.

I like this thread, but it should definitely have Ontario in the title...

Amsterdam Brewery (Bathurst and Front) has great deals on good beer.

25 packs were under $30 last Summer.

Red Baron is on sale for $27.35, I'd recommend it, a Brick Brewery offering!

[midget_man]

A quick check of the Beerstore website shows the Blue at 31.35 for a 24 (bottles) .. all the other mainstream macrobrews (Canadian/Coors Light etc.) are 37.50, so quite a savings.

I changed the title. Thanks, makes sense, I didn't think of that!

I'm pretty sure the Beer Store website only shows specials on sponsored brands.

EvolutionIV Thanks, I never knew that existed.

For those close to the Quebec border, come on over and get these for $25-29 per case or visit Costco and get the 55 pack of Coors Light for around $55 (They've had it at that price for a while but I haven't been there for a few weeks).

Yes, excellent thread. I'd like to see the 'deeply' discounted products at the LCBO listed, if someone sees something good.

For example, Woodys 'Lychee&Raspberry' and Pomtini Green Tea coolers were both $4 off a 4 pack, making 'em around $6 a couple of weeks ago. I think I bought up most of what they had.
(Uhh.. those weren't for me. Well, yes they were. The doctor said I had.. umm... scurvy and needed more fruit in my diet... yeah, that's the ticket..)

There were an unusual amount of discontinued markdowns at the LCBO Saturday.

the coolers were probably the best deal, 10.95 for 5.95. There were a couple woody's and a seagrams kind here. I bought the lychee & raspberry mentioned above. Granted, 10.95 for 4 regular is kinda high.

A lot of the stuff wasn't exactly mainstream, eg hemp infused vodka $35 for $25, which just makes it the same price as reg vodka...bit if you want green tinted you can get this. Saint Patricks day beer sets with mugs or hats were marked down a lot but still not cheap beer

Cant remember the other stuff, it was a lot more $ off then the usual sales...but this is stuff that didn't sell and is discontinued.
