i don't know as a don't drink them.....but really it doesn't matter you will have to save some money else where in your budget so you can have your luxuries they are the things that make us feel special and it's worth skimping on other things less important...like brand of toilet paper

i went shopping today and everything seemed really expensive..more than normal..all of it milk,bread,veggies,fruit and meat..it was a bit scary.....

i live in the burbs of Adelaide....

Probably around about the 35 - 40 buck mark give or take a special offer or two. Most spirits are around that amount but not bought Baileys for a long time and never bought Jamesons.

Don't forget though that $40 is a hell of a lot less than £40. In my experience alcohol over here in the UK sounds a lot cheaper, but when you times that by 2 1/2 it's actually a lot dearer. I've really noticed it since I started working in a pub.

I guess it depends on where you are moving to but I've never lived anywhere where a bottle of Baileys is more that about $30 - $40 (£16). Hate to scare you but I'm not sure if we get Jaimesons.... I may be very wrong there.

Good luck!
