My problem: I don’t buy two of the same bottles of any wine, for various reasons. Here we get the retail price and the “Mix 6 Price”…but only if the retail price ends in “9”. Overall, however, I’ve found BevMo! prices to be a bit higher than the grocery stores for the same bottles. As SF GATE points out, many of the wines appear to be priced up a few dollars from what they’d cost for a single bottle elsewhere, but that’s more than offset by the 2-for-1 structure of the sale. They have: (1) the retail price, (2) the club card price and (3) a number of bottles listed as “Buy One Get the 2nd for 5⊄” - essentially a BOGO.Įxample: Famiglia Bianchi Malbec costs $19.99 directly from the distributor as part of BevMo’s 5-cent wine sale, it’s $22.95 for one bottle or $23 for 2, for an average savings of about $8.50 per bottle. I have to admit it actually took me a minute and a consultation with the wine agent (at what my friends call one of the “Fancy Fry’s”) to figure out the actual price.īevMo! is only slightly better. So, there’s the retail price (that no one’s really expected to pay), the “club card” price (with your customer loyalty card), the 6-pack price and often, a “buy two/three of the same” price. Now, don’t hate me, but I often pick up the Australian Yellow Tail shiraz ( G’day mate) because it helps me get my 6-pack price and it’s reasonably drinkable (and by “drinkable” I mean it’s red and comes in a bottle) Next, I love the name “Headsnapper”…but, like the pinot above, it takes a minute to navigate to the price you actually might be paying.
(And often as many as four prices.) Holy Buzzkill Batwiner! There’s not one, not two–but three prices on nearly every bottle. The first is a nice (and by “nice” I mean “out of my personal price range”) Decoy pinot noir: (And by “drinkable” I mean red wines that come in a bottle of some kind.) Now, I’ve been to countless legitimate wine tastings where my fellow imbibers are talking about “plum notes,” “hints of wet oak,” “approachable,” and “fruit forward.” ¹ I usually just say “Mmm…nutty but not too squirrelly!” or “I like the nasty way it insinuates itself into my palate without a lot of fanfare, like so many of those hundred-dollar vintages.”īut over the past months, I’ve become increasingly annoyed at the price finagling going on at nearly every outlet, including Safeway, Fry’s, BevMo!, Total Wine and probably others. The first winner was announced in Idaho Falls, Idaho, earlier this year.My general philosophy of wine-buying is to pick the wines with the cleverest names as long as they’re relatively drinkable. Two winners won the grand prize of $1 million.
Tiana won after entering codes from game tickets into an online last chance drawing. Albertsons Companies, which owns Safeway, has been offering the Monopoly game for 10 years, while Safeway has presented it in Hawaii for three years. She was the first Safeway customer to win the game’s grand prize in Hawaii.
“I still can’t believe it, but I’m really thankful and I love you Safeway.” They were greeted by cheering Safeway employees dressed as Monopoly characters and received a giant check. She arrived at the store in a white limousine with her boyfriend Brandt and their 1-year-old daughter nicknamed “Sweetie Girl.” Tiana, who asked that her last name not be used, received her award this afternoon at the Kapahulu store, where she played the game earlier this year. A 29-year-old Honolulu resident received a $1 million prize today through Safeway’s Monopoly game.
