What's an average store trip run you for "restocking"

I'd say a typical store visit (maybe every 5 days or so) usually get myself a mixed sixer (~$14) and a bomber (~$10) each visit. So assume ~$24 a visit. That is local shops.

Out of state, might go as high as $50-$70, but I try best not to get carried away.

 

This is somewhat similar to my restocking schedule, except I'll usually go once a week and grab a sixer. And then every few weeks I'll make a bigger trip for a few limited bombers and such. Probably works out to $80-100/ month.

 

I usually operate on a mix and match six-pack at a time. I try to stay under $20 but that's pretty much impossible in PA.

 

I'm on email lists for my local growler stations, so go out when they get something good. 1-2 Bombers from the grocery store when food shopping, and visit the bottle shops (2) in town every month, usually dropping $50-$60 each. Keep my bar fridge stocked with 20-24 bombers/750s, and my kitchen fridge usually has local six packs and the oddball 12 oz bottle.

 

Could be less than $20-$30, or more than $50 depending on how much and what I get. I'd rather get more for the money but occasionally I'll spend extra for an exclusive special beer.

 

I usually buy enough to last me 8-10 weeks. As I don't drink much, that's usually 40-60 bottles, various combinations of 4-packs, 6-packs, 12-packs and singles of larger formats (500 ml, 22 oz., 750 ml). I try to keep the expenditure for that not too far north of $100. I will occasionally make smaller purchases in between the major stock-ups. That said, my most recent indulgences totaled 79 bottles and over $220. Of course that did include 2 bottles each of BCBS and BCBBW.

 

Less than $20 unless something catches my eye, I usually only drink on my days off.

 

I don't think about it. Plus I don't "restock" Whatever I buy tends to disappear pretty quickly. I cellar expensive beers for occasions though but I dont count those because ya know.. reasons.

 

Since the best variety is about 20 mile drive I usually grab several choices and drop a c note for "restocking".

 

I stock up every 2 weeks between 2 stores and it is usually about $150 providing they dont have anything I just have to have that is a little more so it could be a little more.

 

Normally I spend avg 50 a week, I limit it to $200 a month. But since I'm moving its been basically triple xD.

 

I'm really kinda low right now, but I'd guess a little restock is about $25 or so. A few sixes at a time rarely more.

 

At this point, I rarely even go to the store anymore. Selection isn't what I want it to be and I'd rather drive a few hours to Vermont or into Massachusetts to buy beer every few weeks or once a month. But when doing so, depending on what it is, I spend a few hundred a month. I'm also only home 4-6 months a year, so I'll justify it like that.

 

I like to call myself a value shopper. Therefore Bombers are out. For example one of the liquor stores I go to are "closing out" SN Celebration Ale which was bottled on 11/9 for $4.69 a six pack. Bought 2 cases and they gave my an additional 5% discount for case purchases. They also sell PU in 16 oz 4 pack cans for $4.29 all the time. Can buy Lagaunitas Sucks and Fresh Squeezed for $34 per case at Woodmans in Milwaukee. Those two are my staples. Average spend is about $55 per week and I drink at about 40 beers per week and drink quite well.

 

1 4/6 IPA, 1 stout/porter, 1 Belgian style, 1 other 4/6 that is great or haven't bought in a while. Every week or two, depending on how often I'm able to deplete the beer fridge. Plus select bombers that are available.

 

I'm new to craft, so still mostly buying singles as I'm still establishing what I like. I pick up maybe 2-4 beers a week on average, and drink about that many. I have picked up some fours/sixes and bombers of brews I know I'll be drinking regularly, such as FBS. Also have started picking up some for celaring, such as BCBS, Abyss, etc. Though I am buying relatively expensive beer since I go for quality singles, betting I spend far less than joe blow who swills macro daily. Maybe $12-$15/wk.

 

I keep some staples in my fridge like Saga IPA, Nooner, and a few Urquell's. I love to stop in on delivery days, and usually get there in time to take a look at those 'wrapped' pallets before the box cutters come out. So, it depends on what comes in. What I spend varies, week to week.

 

Depends on the season for me..Fall and Winter i tend to buy much more darker,BA stuff..spring and summer more IPA,Dubbels,Belgians,..but a normal restocking usually a 4 pk..6 pk..Few bombers. Some BA stuff..so around $60-100..but if i buy online it's around $100-150 inc shipping

 

Between $50 and $200 per week. Many go into the cellar, some for trades, some for every day drankin.

 

Wife? That's a saint you have there. Bless you, brother, and keep STUFFING!
