Wow, the pleasure economy is really slipping. I don't think I've ever seen booze coupons before in the Sunday circular. But why would I use this at the liquor store? I think the first stop would be one of the city's fine bottle bars. The possibilities are endless - if that $1000 table is dissuading you, now it's only $998! Maybe they'll even start doing "double coupon" nights!

Below is a list of savings and net drink costs if you use a $2 dollar coupon:

List Price - Coupon Savings = Net Cost

Marquee - $20,000-$2 = $19,998 (Armand de Brignac champagne)

Pink Elephant - $216,000-$2 = $215,998 (If you roll like Mike Ashley)

Posh Tots specializes in "furnishing your child's world" and has earned a reputation as the designer of choice for the Hollywood mom set, as well as upscale mommies all across the globe.
