Hang-tags or wine-tags are a great source for coupons. They are just as their name states - they hang on bottles, usually liquor of some kind, and more often than not, they hang on wine bottles. They are manufacturer coupons, sometimes on a specific product or sometimes as a general dollar amount off a category, such as "$1.00 off fresh produce" or "$4.00 off ground coffee". There are even rebates for certain items on hang-tags, for example "$3.00 off any whole turkey". A lot of the more serious couponers use hang-tags, I didn't learn about them until I had been couponing for quite a long time. They are a hot item to get your hands on.
With hang-tags, one would assume that you have to purchase the bottle of liquor that the coupon is hanging on in order to obtain it. In the state that I live in, Illinois, it is illegal to make a customer purchase alcohol to use these coupons and it usually states it right on the coupon. It usually says something like "No Wine Purchase Necessary" or in the fine print on the back it excludes IL as having to purchase alcohol by wording something like "No wine purchase necessary in IL". So, while at first you may feel a bit uncomfortable cruising the aisles of the liquor department collecting coupons from bottles, it's perfectly legal to take them. If a cashier tries to tell you that you have to purchase the wine/liquor in order to use the coupon, you can politely point out that in IL there's no restrictions for alcohol purchase.
Next time you are shopping at a store with a liquor department, stroll down the aisle and see what you find!
Very interesting information about Coupon use and give me idea how much discount we get and which thing has it.
