Lawrence, Kansas: That's The Spirit ... Professional Ownership And Reasonable Prices

Spirit Party Shop & Liquor

600 Lawrence Ave

Lawrence, KS 66049

Phone number: (785) 842-8700

Prices: $$$$

It is a small store on the corner of 6th and Lawrence Avenue with a fair selection of beer, wine and spirits, fair prices, and friendly staff. However, they offer no military discount even though owned by a retired Army officer ... FUBAR!

Epilogue: After posting the review above, the owner sent me a comment, explaining why they cannot offer military discounts rather than whining and attacking my character for posting less than (5) stellar reviews like most owners and/or managers would do.

Turns out the Kansas ABC (Alcohol and Beverage Commission) will not allow discounts for one group if not offered to everyone else. That makes perfect sense considering the ABC is just another over regulated bureaucracy. Thanks for the message Paul!

JC Penney Is Better Than Kohl's, But Not By Much!

Kohl's refused to work with me after THE ONLY LATE PAYMENT IN 25+ YEARS partially as a result of their failure to send a bill or late notice, so we started shopping at JC Penney after a many year absence. It seemed like they were offering great prices between 2012 and 2013 in Kansas City, Missouri, but recently the "value" seems to have disappeared, at least here in Lawrence, Kansas.

The store here in Lawrence is dead as a ghost, so it is only a matter of time before this one-time giant goes belly-up like so many other retailers these days. Too bad because I do not buy clothes or shoes online because sizes vary so much and inevitably they do not fit once they arrive. 

Make sure you read the fine print on their coupons. It says 25% off on shoes, but in the fine print it says "athletic shoes excluded" ... I didn't have my glasses with me and made the trip across town for some much needed tennis shoes. What a waste of my time and gas!!!

Price Range: $$$$$
Accepts Credit Cards: Yes

I took my 83-year old mother to Brown's Shoe Fit for a new pair of shoes. Parking can be a challenge in downtown Colorado Springs and the day we were there was no exception.

We were greeted as we entered the store in a very friendly manner, telling the lovely young lady what type of shoe my mom was looking for. She quickly arrived with several options, but mom was looking for something a little less expensive. I found a couple pair in her size "On Clearance".

Mom liked the look and fit of the shoe, clearance priced at a little under $60, not bad for a quality shoe. But the young lady told us that there was an additional 14% discount we were not aware of, bringing the price, including tax, to just $55.
