CVS Gives Rain Checks!!!

July 3, 2008 by Tara Kuczykowski 52 Comments


Yeah, really, they do!!! Did you know this??? Color me clueless, but I sure didn’t! I cannot even begin to convey my excitement over this, so let me scream it again. CVS gives RAIN CHECKS!!! Yes, they even give them on items that generate ECBs!

I discovered this little tidbit the other night when I was chatting with a manager at one of the stores I like to shop. I mentioned that I had only been able to purchase one bottle of the Huggies wash all month because every time I shopped they were completely out of stock. Imagine my surprise when she said very matter of factly, “Oh, well, I can give you a rain check for that. We can’t generate the ExtraBucks for them once their promotional period is over, but we’ll just fill in the price for how much the item would cost after your received them.”

I’m telling you, you could have knocked me over with a feather at that moment. She graciously wrote me out a slip for four of the washes at $1.49 each, and I was able to redeem it for three of them this afternoon AND still use the coupons that I had planned to use previously! I was able to get a new slip for the one that I was still unable to purchase.

This works on the free after ECBs items as well. Both of my stores have been out of the Physician’s Formula mascara all week. I simply asked the assistant manager that was ringing me out if I could please get a rain check for the item. She said, “Sure, no problem,” and filled it right out. I can just take it in and redeem it for a free mascara when they receive more stock.

It’s just mind boggling to think about all the deals I’ve missed out on because I just figured that I was out of luck if they were out of stock. Out of luck no more!

    I found out that 1 Kroger Store in the Perrysburg, Ohio area super doubles coupons all the time. They have been doing this for over a year. Where was I? Just that store only, because of all the grocery stores in a row. Their prices are not great, but if you watch the sale items and with super double, you can make out!

    My CVs store in Indiana told me they could not give raincheck for the free items I could just buy them at the end of the week when they came in on the truck but I would not get any extra bucks on them. Has anyone else been told this?

    It’s a ticket that they fill out that will allow you to get the sale/promotional price of an item when it’s back in stock if the sale/promotion has already ended.

    Not only will the ECB’s now print off a raincheck, but they never expire! So you can keep them until the price and coupon make the best deal!

    Good writeup, my investment adviser always said.
    .. Prior to investing in the stock market,
    you may want to try paper trading. This way, you can practice investing without having to use actual money, and you can better
    learn the stock market. This kind of method involves using imaginary money and investment techniques
    that could be used in the real stock market.

    First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a
    quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
    clear your mind before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind
    in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to
    begin. Any recommendations or hints? Appreciate it!
