Whole Foods does this 30% off wine sale on 6 bottles or more a couple of times per year. The first time they did this sale, a couple of years ago, if you bought 6 bottles the system also gave you an additional 10% off, so basically their prices are normally a little inflated, but at 37% off, for some of their wine, that was a steal!
Well they caught onto that one pretty quickly and made sure that you only got the 30% off the next time around. So then one time I reserved the wine, but could only pick it up the day after the sale. Well, they reset the cash register system the day after and when the 30% off price was manually entered into the register, if I bought 6 or more bottles, I still got the extra 10% off! Basically we’re talking BS Salmon Rose for $50 / S.O. Alex for $38 / and some others. Nothing super special, but still a hell of a deal!
So I planned on stocking up this last time around, but alas, they had figured out the system “glitch” and I only got a true 30% off.
Oh well. At least it was fun while it lasted!
Good luck to anyone that want to give this a shot at their local W.F.'s the next time their 30% off sale comes around!
