Welcome

Let it be known that this blog is dedicated to the proposition that a day at Costco is more than shopping: It’s an event, a lifestyle, a strategic quest for a lunch gratis. Audience comments – and personal tips and advice – are eagerly solicited. This is an interactive site – use it!

Costco Commandment No. 8 (Think Bombay Sapphire)


We learned a valuable lesson on our previous two trips to Costco: Always look around inside the entrance for someone off to the side, handing out liquor and wine coupons. The deals can be spectacular – up to $10 off on some select bottles – and you can’t find them in the regular monthly Costco coupon mailer. Sometimes the coupon giver-outer is off to the side, hard to find if you aren’t actively looking. Anyway, they don’t push them on people; you kinda have to seek them out when they’re around.

Case in point: A 1.75-liter bottle of Bombay Sapphire (if you haven’t tried it, you own it to yourself) for $24.99 with the $4-off coupon. It’s a great way to sample high-end bottles without paying a ton. And Costco has great everyday deals on alcohol to begin with.

Just wanted to get that out there before it slips my mind. More Commandments will be posted when inspiration strikes.
