You can now get beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages at a convenience store near you.
We spoke to a manager of one store who said they have most of their stock in store now, but demand means that some spots may have more to offer than others.
The price point is slightly higher than what you’d be used to at the beer store or LCBO, but the convenience can’t be matched by the provincial alcohol retailers.
Here’s a quick price comparison for you:
Tall can Canadian w/ tax $3.29 @ CircleK – $2.90 @ LCBO – $2.48 @ Beer Store
Tall can Spicy Caesar w/ tax 4.19 @ CircleK – $3.95 @ LCBO
Tall can Twisted Tea w/ tax 3.49 @ CircleK – $3.25 @ LCBO
(Beer store/LCBO prices are what is available on their websites)
