Does your Costco sell wine and, if so, do they have wine tags? If they have wine tags, are you in a state that generally has them or not?

I am asking because I am going with a friend to Costco on Wednesday. (I don't belong.)

Thanks!

(And maybe I'll pick up some filet mignon, too!)

Costco prices are hard to beat but some can be done. One of my main objective to couponing is to beat their prices or get ‘em as nearly free as possible.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't find better deals than Costco.
We buy milk, bread, eggs, 1/2 & 1/2, mixed greens, bananas, the gianormous cans of canned fruit regularly, and quite a few other things from time to time. I find that even when I get better deals at the store I can't get it in bulk, w/o a car and with the STUPID limits they have that drive me nuts. I mean most of the time I can't even get enough of a sale item to feed our family of 7 unless I make 2-3 trips in the week which I can't do. So it's easier to keep certain things in stock then pick anything up cheaper as it comes.

They don't take man. coupons, but I know either Sam's or BJ's does.

BJ's does. Not sure about Sam's as we don't have that.

BJ's does, and will sometimes take multiple coupons depending upon how the items are packaged.
Could you explain further on the BJ's taking multiple coupons please?
