How To Plan a Fun Beach Day on a Budget

by

How To Plan a Fun Beach Day on a BudgetNot everyone in America knows that Delaware has some of the prettiest beaches in the country. In fact, we Delawareans consider it our hidden treasure! Sure enough, the shoreline tends to get pretty crowded during summer months, yet we still consider our beaches pretty clean and family-friendly.

To prepare you for a summer filled with successful beach day trips in the Tri-State area, we put together tips and hacks on How To Plan a Fun Beach Day On a Budget.

 

How To Plan a Fun Beach Day On A Budget:

  1. Stock up on beverages in sales tax free Delaware! Why spending more money on alcohol when you can save it for something else? Visit Tri-State Liquors in Claymont, Delaware (333 Naamans Rd) before you head down to the beach. We are Delaware’s largest beverage superstore! See this month’s specials here.
  2. Pick up your sunscreen at a Farmer’s Market. One of our favorite places to visit is a farmer’s market in New Castle, Delaware. Not everybody knows that besides food, there’s a great shop with heavily discounted beauty products. It’s never good to skip a sunscreen on a beach day, so make sure to stop by the market, and get one for your family and friends!
  3. Bring a cooler. OK, so you stocked up on your favorite beverages, but what’s a good beach day without a cold drink in your hand? Save yourself trips to the store and bring ice (and cups) with you!
  4. Pack your snacks. There’s more than plenty places to grab food by the beach, but why leaving the paradise when you can bring your munchies with you? It’s not only convenient to always have some food on hand, but also very friendly for your wallet! Plus, no waiting lines!
  5. Stay connected. Make sure to download Tri-State Liquors mobile app. You never know when you get stranded on the beach and it might get in handy! Plus, we offer great loyalty program for our customers (hint, #1).

 

Tri-State Liquors locationThere are many ways to have a successful beach day, but if you follow our tips and hacks, we guarantee you a good time! Once again, Tri-State Liquors is always there to help you with all your beverage needs. We are conveniently located off I95, just over the Delaware/Pennsylvania line. Better yet, our low prices and tax-free shopping will make you smile!

Best Easter Wine Pairings

What You May Not Know About March Madness + Printable Bracket

by

The first fresh of spring air that comes with March is priceless, but what’s even more exciting is what follows after! We’re so happy to say March Madness is just around the corner!

If you’re a basketball fan, you came to the right place. This year, we decided to put together another list of interesting March Madness facts you should know about. Let’s jump right into it! 😉

Interesting March Madness Facts

  1. The tradition of cutting down the nets is credited to Everett Case, who coached at North Carolina State from 1946-1964. He snipped the nets after his team won the Southern Conference Tournament in 1947.
  2. The term “Final Four” was originated by Cleveland Plain Dealer sportswriter Ed Chay while referencing Marquette’s tournament run in a 1975 piece. The term was first capitalized on the NCAA’s 1978 basketball guide. 
  3. Michael Jordan was just a freshman when he hit arguably the most famous jumper in the history of what is considered the best program in college basketball history. With 15 seconds left in the 1982 national championship game against Georgetown, MJ’s jumper gave the Tar Heels a lead they wouldn’t relinquish and coach Dean Smith his first title.
  4. Final Four games have been decided by a single point 16 times. You remember the most recent one — North Carolina beat Oregon, 77-76, in the 2017 Final Four to advance to the championship game.
  5. The Texas Western team that won the 1966 national championship was the first team with five African-Americans in the starting lineup to win the title. It was one of the most important cultural moments in sports, not just college basketball.
