Affordable beer and wine for BYOB restaurants

We’re broke just like you, so the beers and wines mentioned in this package are almost all reasonably priced. Unless otherwise noted, the wines are less than $20 (closer to $12, really), and the beers range from $2 to $4 per bottle, $6 to $14 per 22-ounce bomber. Availability of these bottles fluctuates, but most can be found at these liquor mega stores:
