I also grabbed the Dominican Club Silver because it was on the store's close-out shelf for five bucks, so why not, and the Pyrat because my gal thought the bottle was too cute not to pick up. The Sirop was an impulse buy inspired on another recent thread.

I think you did the right things. I also have some lower-cost (but not always lower-end) bargains in my collection. These are great for mixing daiquiris and other things at times when you're not necessarily worried about making top-shelf cocktails. If you're gonna be slinging drinks at a party, then the bargains are especially nice to have handy.

Your gal is right, the Pyrat is a nice bottle, I'm sure you made her happy with that purchase.

My local Wally World liquor store is going on a mark-down binge tonight or tomorrow (when the District Manager shows up) and I've already been told to come back and see what $5 and $6 and $10 bottles they're trying to clear out. So I'm stopping by tonight and tomorrow night to see when the clearances happen. Clearance sales are also a great time to buy gifts for folks.
