Title: Bargain Booze !
Post by: bookman on April 20, 2018, 17:24:36 PM
Has anyone tried the shop, top end of Corralejo high street. Notice outside saying its the cheapest place for Cigs & Drink in the Islands, also advert for local gin !
Looked in the other day Courvoisier 75 cl & Bombay 1 ltr around 16 euro. Now I know the old addage
If it appears too good to be true it probably is but !!!!

Sounds like Kings from the location. It is usually the cheapest. It has a wide range as well. We buy from there..If its tobacco you`re after I`d give it a wide berth though. Various rumours abound in that respect but for booze, fine

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking at prices in the shops, as I am here for several weeks at a time. Not bothered about taking it back to UK.

The supermarket is cheaper than the airport.
I disagree quote me comparisons.

Ok 103 brandy..3E cheaper at Kings as is Magno..Mind you difficult to really compare. Kings have a massive selection and the airport shop a heck of a lot less.

Again thanks. I do use Mercadona. The James Webb Scotch is 1/2 decent and Sheraton Gin OK for the price.( Just uder 6e) Just every now and then like a taste of the real stuff, think the Bombay at Merc is about 19e  for 75cl.  FYI if your flying with TC Bombay is only £13 50 a ltr. I am flying over to GC on Monday and just trying to work out what if anything, to get in the Duty Free.

I wouldn`t mind betting they came out short changed and probably sporting a fake Rolex too.


They might if they`d spent too long in Kings ;D ;D
