Default Not sure about Nevada, but it's way cheaper in Cali than in WA state.

Taxes are ridiculous in WA.

Default Check prices first before heading to Cali...

A buddy of mine went on a Booze run to Cali, and took orders for us all.. a lot of the liquor was cheaper, but one guy (I cant remember what he bought) it actually cost more.. LMFAO!!

But for the most part, yes Cali seems to be the way to go

Default Go to Costco in Cali

probably the cheapest place you can buy booze in the country (well maybe duty free is cheaper, but they are probably pretty close)

Costco in Cali carries beer, wine and handles of hard-a, it is truly awesome.

Default We always stop at the liquor stores just south of the OR/CA border

Prices are cheaper than Oregon by quite a bit. My girl is a vodka drinker and gets half gallons there for cheaper than a fifth up here. She probably spends 400 bucks every time we go down there!

In fact she just got back from a friend's baby shower and had 3 cases of stuff for her and her sister. Freaking lushes

Sampling of price stickers on our bottles:
1.75L Stoli Vanilla 19.99
1.75L Bacardi Gold 16.99
1.75L Bombay Sapphire 26.99

Default We always end up on the 101 when visiting friends there...

As soon as you get near the border you'll start seeing signs for liquor. The place we generally go to is like 2 miles inside the CA border on the east side of 101.

I'm sure there has to be a similar place off of I-5 but I'm usually on long distance when I take that route and don't think I've stopped there. I can only assume there has to be a similar place off of the 5 close to the border.

<i>Edit:</i> Like this place: <a href="http://www.northerncalifornialiquor.com/">State Line service and Liquor</a> - Claims 'Discount liquor - case pricing built in', .5 miles south of the border.

Just googled 'oregon california border liquor i-5'
