My Go-To Cheap Wines for a College Budget

College is hard. College is especially hard because you're ballin' on a budget. And college is even harder than that if you are ballin' on a budget and love to drink wine.. Because hello, wine is expensive if you don't want to die of a hangover. So, I did the college world a favor and decided to compile a list of not-so-expensive wines for everyone to use as a go-to. Ill start with the absolute cheapest and go from there.

Trader Joe’s Charles Shaw Wine. Regular bottle $3

Okay if you don’t know about this – NOW YOU KNOW. Such an amazing deal and the wine isn’t bad. Also doesn’t give you a hangover and is ORGANIC!! Wow!!

Barefoot. Regular bottle about $6

Duh! This wine is SO CHEAP. its like $8 for a gallon bottle of this stuff. And I don't even like white wine and I like their Pinot Grigio. Also seriously every time I go into Publix its like its on sale again.

Gnarly Head. Regular bottle about $7

If you are feeling a little fancier than Barefoot, Gnarly Head is my go-to. I also like their Cabernet, and not Barefoots.. So it works. Also the bottle is so cute!! (Perfect for your wine night snap story).

Rex Goliath. Regular bottle about $6 - $7

This wine is yummy and has a rooster on it!! The wine is surprisingly mom approved, and is hangover proof as well. As long as you don’t drink more than a bottle that is.

Clos Du Bois. Regular bottle about $9

This wine is slightly more expensive than the first three, but it is delicious and worth the extra dollar. Plus, I have noticed that the price has dropped and is on sale a lot.

Clayhouse Wines. Sale: two bottles for $16

This is a GREAT sale. Sometimes it’s even buy one at $15 get one for free. This wine is definitely more expensive but when it is BOGO its WORTH it. It’s delicious.

Smoking Loon. Regular Bottle about $10

This wine is delicious, and I discovered it when it was BOGO at Publix. I know some people are hesitant about BOGO wine and they think it moght be bad, so I am letting you know that its delicious, and also, it is worth the extra $2.

RELAX Wine. Regular bottle about $10 - $11

A little more on the expensive side, especially compared to trader joes, but it comes in a cute bottle and tastes great. It is also on sale often at Publix.

Box Wine. One box for about $20

Had to give a shout out to the box wine, because it is seriously so cheap and even my parents drink it. Now, I can’t lie to you and say you will have no hangover if you drink more than three glasses, but, I can tell you that it lasts so long (unless you are me and my friends).

Costco wine.

It is seriously every single bottle and kind of wine 50% off. AMAZING. Every time I go I get a case, so..

These are my secrets of delicious cheap wine. Take this info and run with it!!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
