Did you know that some (not sure if all do or not) grocery stores give rain checks to you for items on sale that are out of stock? I went to Publix today to do my coupon shopping. I wanted to get Trix yogurt, Wisk, and French's Mustard. All were on sale for Buy One Get One free, plus I have coupons. They were out of stock on these things and I mentioned to the cashier that there were just a few things I wanted that they'd run out of. I was really surprised when he told me I could go and get a rain check. I didn't have time to do it today because my son (who's home sick) was waiting for me out in the car. But, I'm definitely going back tomorrow to get the rain checks, and will always ask for them in the future. It seems the more I coupons shop with sales, the more I see almost free or free items out of stock.
With my coupons, I plan to spend $1.04 for a 6pk of yogurt, $0 for the mustard, and $4.00 for the 100-oz Wisk. So, $5.04 plus any tax. Without the sales price and coupons, I would spend almost $15!!!
I'm so glad to learn that I can get rain checks. I also shop at Kroger and wonder if they have the same policy. I'll find out soon!
Tomorrow I'm doing my Kroger stockpiling and will let you know how much I spent for the week's grocery trips!
