I never had good luck with rain checks in the past. I would get one for an item that was out of stock and my coupon would expire before the item was restocked. Some stores will let you use an expired coupon in this case, but it just seemed like a hassle to me. However, during the last Super Doubles at Harris Teeter, I had quite a few coupons for items that were OOS, and I went to the customer service desk on the last day of the sale with my list to request raincheck.
It paid off for me today, as I was able to match those rain checks will coupons that were still good from the last sale, since these Super Doubles events were pretty close together!
My rain check for the Ken's salad dressing was probably a year old. It was for a Buy One Get One Free sale. I was happy to use it today, since were are all out of salad dressing. I got 6 bottles that are normally $2.19 each, but my rain checks made them 1/2 price. Then I used 3 coupons for $1.00 off 2 that made them 10 cents each!
Here is what I purchased today:
My total after coupons and ZVR's was $3.44!
And here are some last minute match-ups, since tomorrow is the last day:
Kernel Season's - Popcorn Salt Flavor - $2.49
- $1.00 ZVR loaded to your Vic card
- this coupon:
= Money Maker!
Note: If you can't find the Popcorn Salt flavor, the other flavors are $3.19, so just 19 cents after ZVR and doubled coupon.
Herbal Essences Body Wash - $3.49
- $1.00 ZVR loaded to your Vic card
- $1.00 coupon from the 3/30 insert
= 49 cents!
Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Cleansing Clothes - $5.19
- $2.00 peelie coupon = $1.19
Catalina Offer: Buy 2 and get $2.00 off your next order
= 19 cents each when you buy 2 after coupon and catalina!
Power to the Raincheck. I got tons of Barilla pasta meals this time around during SD because of rainchecks. Great write up----thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteI love rain checks and have a huge pack of them. I was going to use a few during the last sale but I didn't get to go enough days to actually use them. That is an amazing haul using rain checks!!! The sales and the coupons will come around again right :) I have a pack of egg rain checks and I get to go in whenever we are out of eggs and match them with a rain check and I have a great price on eggs. I love when I have them on baking items too!!! I did bad about getting rain checks for this sale and the last one because I was helping other people shop and forgot by the end but next time I will be better!
