Impressive! But my favorite is Presidente Brandy (regardless of who's in the White House) and cacahuates con chili y limon.

I don't see any of this in the house.

Nice, but every one of those can be purchased at your corner liquor store. Every year, I search for the finest non-exports, and those are the ones that earn a spot in my suitcase, and become mementos.

But hey, it's all good.

That may be true. But for a hefty price. For instance each of of those 950 ml aren't available at my corner liquor store.Only available in a 750 ml at a cost of $44 usd. The 950 ml at Walmart cost me 199 pesos or about $15 usd.That's why they earn a spot in my suitcase

We had six of the 950 ml in our suitcases on our last trip.

I had 5 of the 950 ml + 1 Don Julio. Kathy had 2 Kahulas 1 half consumed Herradura and 2 950 ml. We bought the rest at duty free. Duty free is a bit more $. But still way cheaper than home.

If you're only interested in saving money, that's fine. I like saving money too, but why not buy a memento - something that can't be found at home?

You can do both you know
