Best place to buy alcohol?

ejayne

We provide our own alcohol, and I was just wondering if Spec's is the best place to buy, or is there somewhere else I should look? We'd just be getting beer and wine... no liquor. TIA!

I would suggest the Specs outlet in San Marcos if you are getting a lot of wine. I think Amelia got some bottels of delish wine there for like a couple bucks a bottle. I am pretty sure they have beer too, but if you aren't getting a keg I might suggest Sams/Costco. Oh and we recently got a quote for our liquor at Specs and Twin and I asked both about wine too. Specs said they will let you return it less a 10% restocking fee as long as it has not been opened of course, chilled or label torn off. At Twin you can exchange it. (and liquor the same). We were talking to them about kegs of beer and I think Twin had the best keg prices out of the two.

Specs had the best price for us, and they will pre-chill whatever you'd like them to. The downside: anything pre-chilled technically can't be returned. They will also price match on some things (but not against grocers like HEB, I think, just other liquor stores).

FI made a list of all the things we needed for our bar, went to Twin Liquors, Sam's and Specs, and Spec's had the best prices on almost everything.

We went to Costco liquor store.  You don't need a membership and the store has great prices and you can return any unused alcohol except beer.

EXTREMELY stupid question, but is the Costco liquor store IN Costco? Obvs, you're dealing with a non-member here.

Costco liquor store is technically in the store but it has its own entrance pretty near the main entrance.
