The power of rain checks

December 18th, 2007 at 05:44 pm

I had a rain check from Walgreen for Purell hand sanitizer for 50 cents, qty. 5. I had three coupons, two $1.50 off and one $1 off. So, it's a money maker.

50 cents x 5 = $2.50
Coupons $4
Profit $1.5

When I went to the store, all Purell had $1.00 peelie coupons on every one of them!! This is the moment "I should've asked more quantity on my rain check......"

At the end, I could only used on peelie because the cash machine beeped, but I'm not complaining. I made $2.50 by buying them. I also bought a make up to not make the total negative. The make up is the free after rebate item this month, so I got all these for free.

I will go to Rite Aid today to get some batteries. I need D size battery for my Roomba's lighthouse. (It prevents Roomba to go to the area you don't want it to go.) They have $2 off in-ad coupon for Duracell batteries, and they have $8 rebate on $20 purchase. $20 also go towards cash back rewards Rite Aid is running this month. I have rain check for Taster's choice coffee. We are running low on coffee, and the price was $4.99 last week which I have the rain check for. I have $1 off coupon, so the final price is going to be $3.99.

I love rain checks.

    My Walgreens do not seem to be able to keep on the shelves the advertised items in their fliers and I miss some great deals because of it. I need to remember to ask for rainchecks.

    Local Walgreens stores do not seem to be able to keep on the shelves the advertised items in their fliers and I miss some great deals because of it. I need to remember to ask for rainchecks.

    Our walgreen won't let you "make money" on it. The most you can do is the item for free. So, if I have a 75 cent off coupon for a 50 cent item, I only get 50 cents off- I don't get a 25 cent credit to another item.
    My beef is the coupon clearing house gives them the entire 75 cents back, plus a handeling fee. So THEY make money on it.

    Agreed. Seems like every time dh goes over there he ends up with a raincheck. But we have one right on the corner now, so it is easy to go back now. Big Grin Don't forgot to ask for those rain checks!
