Frugal MacDoogal's gives me the same giddy tingling feeling that I get from going to Earthfare. Why? Maybe it's because I always hit Frugal's before a road trip (The alcohol is for the destination...or is it?) Maybe it's because the sight of Carowinds excites me. I think it's because Frugal's is kind of like a candy store for adults that drink alcohol.
The liquor side and the beer/wine side are both filled with domestic and imported gems of adult mood enhancers. If I'm looking for something a little unusual, Frugal's has a good chance of having it. They didn't have the Pumking beer from Southern Tier I was looking for last time I was there though...Booooo (no Halloween pun intended...or was it?)
If you're really in to your wine...Frugals is hit or miss...it's not exactly a place to go discuss the nose and finish of your favorite Cabernet. The best part about the place is that it's across the state line...and we know we'd rather purchase booze in SC than in NC. The prices aren't coupon quality...but they're not horrible either.
Try: Those buckets you fill with liquor...yes...the ones you've always rolled your eyes at. You will be surprised at how convenient they are to stick in the freezer at the beach.
Avoid: Urinating on the side of the building. I mean really...what the hell dude!
