I'm hosting an event for around 75 people for work. The budget is pretty small, so I'm wondering what's the cheapest place to buy beer & wine are in the area? I usually go to Wells Discount Liquor, but I'm wondering what else might be cheaper. Anywhere within 30 mins of the city would work.

They're always going to be the cheapest. You could always see if a local brewery wants to cut you a deal.

You could buy a bunch of cheap wine from Trinacria. They’ve got $3-4 bottles in front of the deli case

This is a fantastic idea. Their wine is silly cheap. And you could do Founders beer as it's good and affordable.

Or check out whatever Wine Source has on sale. If I know anything, it’s how to stretch my beverage budget!

Yeah that’s actually a great idea. Some of their wine is total crap, so just be careful of that. But otherwise, stupid good deals.

Pick up some box wine or jugs and make sangria or look up some recipes for mulled or spiced wine.

Kings Liquors off of 40 in East Baltimore has some of the best prices around.

Pine orchard liquors, way west past Catonsville, also on 40, has some good prices as well.

Hunt Valley Wine & Liquor, next door to Wegmans in Baltimore Co. has good pricing

If you feel like going to Harford Co. Midway has really good pricing, out on Rt. 40.

Pine orchard has the cheapest wine and liquor I've found. Champagne is very cheap and scotch is very cheap.

This doesn't meet your distance constraint, but Costco in Delaware. You don't need a membership to buy alcohol, and there's no sales tax.

Most places offer a case discount for both beer and wine.

Also look to see if any places offer discount days.

But honestly just call a few places and talk to them. Go online and use a calculator to get an estimate of how much you need.
