Become A Coupon Superstar Day 10: Ughh, they're sold out! Now, what?

The store is having a great sale on an item. So, you head out to the store only to have your hopes dashed when you find out they've sold out!

Don't get upset, get a raincheck! Simply ask your cashier or customer service rep for a raincheck. Yes, it really is that simple.

Now, this is great news but you don't have time to wait since your coupon expires soon. Well, in this case go to your local WalMart and price match it. Making this even better is that they usually have a greater selection and larger supply.

At CVS rainchecks can be an added bonus. How? Well, let's say you get a raincheck for an item that's FAECB. Then later on down the line the ECB deal comes along again. You use the raincheck, they print your ECB plus you get ECB for the current deal! Cool, huh?

At Walgreens rainchecks on items that are FARR work differently When you redeem your raincheck the item will be rung up free. This means you can't use a coupon and you won't get a RR.

Aren't you happy you can still get in on the deal? However, even if you forget the RC or the deal isn't as great when you have to get a raincheck, it's OK! Remember, the deal and the coupon will come around again. Frugal shopping should be fun not upsetting and frantic.
