Wine
I agree - I understand you want to save some money - then buy decent wine & eat at home or get carryout - the wine selection in most places around here is horrible! I am not a wine snob, either, BUT... when we go to Italy, you can get great wines at tiny places for 25 for a whole bottle. Here you get the BAD California, overpriced reds & terrible artificial OAKY whites, which are UNDRINKABLE. But, I guess, if you can get 2 for 1 or pay 4 bucks a glass, it's okay??? I would rather not drink it! I still order cases of wine from a guy I know who owns a wine shop (small, but INCREDIBLE!!!) in Chicago - he can get pretty much anything you want!
