In Reply to: cheaper to buy posted by dennisc on Monday, 6. October 2008 at 09:49 Bali Time:
On the availability & what spirits you are after.
eg Rukun Jaya on Jln Pantai Kuta recently had a shortage of Jim Beam as did other places.
When it was in stock the price next to Bintang was over 250000rp
When we left for Bali, Perth Duty Free had Jim Beam black on special with 2 bottles & a box of shot glasses cheaper than in Bali.
If you want to drink as soon as you arrive then perhaps buying duty free is less of a hassle than going out to look for it.
