Get out of the city! The bottle on the right is 1L and was purchased for $41.95 at a well-priced store in the East Village. The bottle on the left is 1.75L and was purchased for $45.99 in the boondocks far outside New York City. That's 37% cheaper! In addition, by pooling the purchase with my friend's liquor, we received an extra $25 off the total order. At the time, I had no dire need for whisky, as the bottle on the right was still quite full. But a frugan must always think ahead, and purchase for the future when the pricetag calls for it.
