Would it be
 

Cheaper for my Mum to buy her spirits in Manchester's duty free or in the cheapest liquor store I can find in Red Deer?

I have no idea what spirits cost anywhere other than the bar;)

Thank you.

How much is she planning on drinking when she is visiting? We've found duty free cheaper than the Canadian liquor store when we visit the in-laws.

:rofl:

She has asked me to get a bottle of whiskey a bottle of vodka and a bottle of gin a box or two of red, white and rose wine (to start with):rofl:

Yes she does have a bit of a problem:(, the whiskey will be for my Stepdad.

I decided that the difference in price wasn't worth the hassle of buying duty free. Have done for a long time. All that clanking of bags, wrestling with coats, purses, boarding passes. Nah.

A litre of gin was around 14GPB, and far too bloody strong for normal use. A litre in LCBO is usually around $36. So a saving of $12ish for duty free and a much drunker mother per drink ratio.

Be aware, Air Canada no longer take money (CAD or GBP) for duty free - credit card only.

Re: Would it be
 

The solution is rather simple is it not? Check prices of spirits at local Red Deer liquor stores. Convert to pounds and provide to mother. Tell her to go to the duty free at Manchester and if the spirits cost less than the prices given, pick up the booze she wants. Sorted.;)

Remember to allow for different bottle sizes e.g. 1 litre in the duty free, 40oz, 750cl or whatever in the licquor store.

Mother will have absolutely no idea how much a bottle of booze will cost in the supermarkets (Tesco etc) as she does a booze cruise every 3 months or so. She will be exhausted after the flight and will not want to stop off at liquor stores on the way home, she has requested the alcohol to be available upon arrival.:eek:

I think she is going to pop some money in my account, I'll just find the cheapest place locally and get some then that's one less thing she has to worry about.
