Coupon Tip - Rainchecks!


Did you know that most stores will give you a raincheck for an item if they no longer have it in stock? Many times when I go out deal hunting I often find the shelf bare of the product I am looking for and leave disappointed. Most of the time I completely FORGET to ask for a raincheck and I'm trying to remember to do that more often! But if you ever find yourself in that position - be sure to ASK FOR ONE!

Rainchecks won't help you out if the deal is weaved with a catalina deal that has a specific end date BUT if your deal is a straight coupon/sale deal, getting a raincheck allows you to extend your chance by 30 days of getting in on it! This weekend I stopped at Ultra to pick up another 2 boxes of Capri Sun Sunrise juice boxes. They had lots of Capri Sun, but no Sunrise. I stopped at CS and picked up a raincheck that will still get me free capri sun paired with my $1/1 coupon when they come back in stock!

How do rainchecks work? Just hand it over at checkout and the cashier will adjust the price of the item indicated on the raincheck! It's that easy!
