Prices on GC

I went to Sam's the other day and decided I'd better check out the prices and maybe buy some Gran Centenario, since Ron's expecting me to bring some to the NWPM this summer. Not knowing which type he expected, I bought both, since it won't hurt to have some on hand here for guests as well (don't all show up at once, okay?) CG AŅEJO costs $128 pesos a bottle and REPOSADO costs $236 pesos a bottle. So, are those good prices or can they be found better elsewhere? How much does it cost in the states, btw?

EDIT: Got those prices reversed, sorry!

A little over $12 US and a little over $22 US, I would say.
Cheap in my book.

I think the Anejo was a little over $40 (usd) per bottle at a liquor store around here. So $23 is definitely good.

Very good price, Susie. You could hurt yourself on a pretty limited budget.

Factoring in price and taste GC is one of my favorite tequilas. The Plata for drinks and Reposado for sipping.
