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.
Go to Day 11.
UPromise is a FREE program that pays you back for everyday purchases. It is FREE money for college education or student loans.
All you have to do is sign up and load your shopping cards (Krogers, CVS). You can then load the E-coupons you know you will use. Note the savings will not come off at the register but will be deposited into your account, but you can use a paper coupon with it to maximize your savings.
The way to make this work is to use the coupons for things you will be buying anyway don’t buy it just cause there is a coupon. Over time you will begin to see your savings. You can also ask others to do this as well for your child (think grandparents).
There are other ways to earn money but I won’t be going into them. However you can learn all about it on their site.
Go to Day 9.
How to use eCoupons?
I suggest you print a copy of the coupons you have loaded, because chances are you will forget.
Another thing to know is that eCoupons do not double.
Can you use a paper coupon with an eCoupon? It is not intended for you to use both. However if you do it will go through. This is obviously a flaw in the eCoupon system and one they are aware of. So, should you or shouldn’t you? I can see both sides and would like to give you insigt into each view which you will find here and here.
Go to Day 8.
Most of the Internet printables can be printed twice by hitting the back button. However every now and again the print limit will be higher, so hit the back button again just to be sure.
On sites like coupons.com once you select the coupon and it prints just go back and select it again to get one more. The next time you go back, it will show “print limit reached”.
Also sometimes, you will read about a great coupon available but when you get to coupons.com it’s not there. What happened? Well the manufacturer has set a print limit once it’s reached the coupon is taken down. This is why I will tell you to hurry and print before it’s gone. Other times it’s not there because it is not available for your zip code.
Using Your Internet Printables-
This is where the fun begins. If you choose to print yours in black & white, be prepared to hear the words “we don’t take copies of coupons”. Just simply point out that they are different by showing them the number under that funny looking barcode or the pin number, as they are unique. Not all printables will have this so here are a few things you can do in those cases.
