You argue that it's more cost-effective to drive out of state to buy alcohol; increased state tax on gas and higher PA turnpike rates beg to differ. 😕

So is it the gas and TP rates forcing people to buy alcohol in state or is it alcohol rates forcing people to drive/pay tolls to buy alcohol out of state? Sounds like we get the shaft either way. That's some shrewd taxation game play there.

jokes on you, I buy my gas when I go out of state to buy liquor. I also avoid tolls. It's a triple play for potsy.

Yea gas is a lot cheaper in Delaware where Total Wine is located. I think about $1/gallon less.

Sometimes you have to outplay the players, well done 👍

I wish I could pay my property taxes to another state without having to move 🤣

There are a lot of us that live close to a border and don't have to deal with that 🙄
