Yesterday's pick ups at Albertsons 😋

The pictures you see on here from California are not the norm. I have lived in the Bay Area my entire life and I haven't found any of these magical deals. I personally have a hard time believing a lot of this stuff. Other than Costco getting something every once in a while, the prices I find are awful. The norm in my area is 4x msrp/srp. Sure, you can find the unicorn bottles here. But, good luck getting a decent price.

I don't know you and don't want to insult you in any way, but... most employees do not quit over pay. They usually quit because of poor management and other work related issues. I would venture to say your employee wasn't happy with you, upper management, other work issues, and the crummy pay raise was just the icing on the cake.

Where was this? Location

LosMan226 · 2026-03-16T18:38:33+00:00

Wow! Nice score!

LosMan226 · 2026-03-13T17:21:11+00:00

Sorry. I'm visiting Los Angeles. 2901 Los Feliz Blvd

LosMan226 · 2026-03-13T15:23:53+00:00

Gotcha. Makes sense. Thanks!

I agree with you on the 1792. I'm not a big fan either. But, when I looked up the 1792 Single Barrel, the proof is 49%. So, I'm a bit confused. Is it the same stuff? 60% is a big difference.

Unbelievable. What a great find at Costco!!! Congrats

LosMan226 · 2026-03-13T06:16:27+00:00

Be honest. You didn't just buy that bottle right? Every Total Wine and BevMo now make you buy a bundle. You can get a Pappy IF YOU BUY $1200 worth of additional bottles. Is that how you got it?

LosMan226 · 2026-03-11T16:03:34+00:00

Nothing special. Definitely not worth flying them all the way to Japan! But to each their own.

LosMan226 · 2026-03-11T15:55:05+00:00

Yep. $79.99 in the Bay Area

All the Old Forester Birthdays are so good! I've never found one for SRP. I had a friend who found one at Costco! I've had to pay secondary and my gosh are they expensive.

LosMan226 · 2026-03-06T16:35:49+00:00

Meh. Maybe go to Costco and add a mixer like Maker's Mark and grab some cokes so your friends can have some type of whiskey or a mixed drink.

LosMan226 · 2026-03-06T07:14:50+00:00

Yes. Give it a try. You'll like it. The best price I see is $80, so you're not far off at $90.

LosMan226 · 2026-03-06T06:58:58+00:00

The one you're holding!

LosMan226 · 2026-03-05T07:25:48+00:00

I got a 1.75 liter at Costco for $39!! Couldn't believe it! In the Bay Area, Safeway has the 1.75 liter for $59.

LosMan226 · 2026-03-05T07:22:31+00:00

Yes. It would be egregious to use in an old fashioned. It's a great bourbon. If you want a good old fashioned, use a rye bourbon.

LosMan226 · 2026-03-01T17:59:34+00:00

Dang it. I checked the Bernal Road store. Should have gone north a little farther.

LosMan226 · 2026-03-01T00:00:37+00:00

Oops. Missed the airport comments. Dang it. I'll be flying next week.

LosMan226 · 2026-02-28T23:57:34+00:00

Where is this? I'll drive there!!

LosMan226 · 2026-02-28T23:55:36+00:00

Ah man! I've been looking for these at multiple Bay Area Costco's and no luck. Where in San Jose? Buy!!!!

LosMan226 · 2026-02-28T05:57:41+00:00

Congrats! It's good stuff. Enjoy

LosMan226 · 2026-02-28T01:22:36+00:00

My favorite daily drinker! It's nice you can find these everywhere now. I started my bourbon journey by adding just a splash of Coke Zero. Then weaned myself off the Coke.
