Your beer reserves were depleted yesterday, given Super Bowl Sunday. You only have two weeks to replenish your beer supply, with Presidents Day just around the corner. According to one study, the cost of beer per case can vary depending upon where you live — as high as $7.
Michigan is the cheapest place to buy 24 beers at $14.62 per case. Pennsylvania is the most expensive State, at $21.98, according to recent data compiled and published by the deals website Simple Thrifty Living. The site used the old-fashioned method of calculating pricing: It looked at the prices of Bud Light cases “primarily” at Total Wine & More and Walmart. Although it is impossible to see the average cost for a claim, as in the “mean” of beer across all styles and varieties, this does indicate the average price for a typical case of beer. The site also checked prices at 10 locations “both urban and rural” — this shows that Simple Thrifty Living has done its research.
The site concluded that taxes were the most critical factor in price fluctuations throughout the country. Where did your State end up? Here are the details of each fifty states and the capital city.
