If it's good I'll do the same.
You should check out Ward Lanson and his David Slanton series.
Another book I'm thinking is Thomas Perry-The Old Man....looks like it could be good.

I grabbed the first book in the series for no other reason then I was bored and wanted something to read.
Never even read a review but now I'm hooked on the series and waiting for the next one.

Probably 30 minutes.   Prices were ridiculously low - $41 bottles of Willet were $31, $90 bottles of Jefferson were $65.  Told me they get Eagle Rare 17 once a year and it's only $80 but you have to get a special invite.

One of my friends owns a liquor store - he says their model is to sell under the Mass book value, fight it in court (claims owned by a lawyer group or something) and delay it so they get as much time as they can undercutting everyone's price.

Same kind of prices here.not everything though,I've seen Blantons cheaper in other stores.
If you join their rewards program then the more money you spend then you will get notices on specials and can buy stuff before other people.
What I did was join the program and start a shopping list of stuff you want but they don't have in.then keep checking your list and if it comes in it will show that,call and tell them you're coming to get it.they'll hold it 24hrs.that's how a got the Elmer T Lee for $30.00
I think they were under the Digiorgio Corp umbrella at one point{still might be?}
Same here in CT with the whole lawsuit in court.

They had one in a Mass store last summer for around $110.00 but I don't even see it listed anymore.
