Harris Teeter ~ Question Is this always true? You still get the VIC savings when using a RC

anaj06 · 05-30-2009, 04:05:02 AM

I have been using RCs on Huggies wipes this triples (6 per day - 3 natural care and 3 extra sensitive) for $2.50. Well they are also on sale this triples for $2.89, or $.40 off the regular $3.29 price. Well, when I use my RCs they ring up for $2.50 and then the computer takes off the VIC savings of $.40 as well; so I am getting them for $2.10 - .75 coupon of course

(So I am getting them for free AC instead of the $.25 I was expecting to pay).

Does this always happen? I am just wondering if we should wait to use our RCs until the product is on sale again and "double dip" per say in the VIC savings. But I don't know if it is a fluke this time or always works this way.

If it always works, this way, I would like to go ahead and cash in on my CapriSun RCs this week because they are on sale again. They would be almost free with $1.00 coupon, RC and the computer taking off the VIC savings from this weeks sale.

Any thoughts....

test it again and see if it works, if it does you may be on to something

Wow I've never considered it. I guess I'll get some rainchecks for them and wait and hope for another sale.....

Okay, since no one knows, I think I will have to figure out a different product I have a RC for and buy it when it is on sale and see if it works. I thought someone else might know already...

I do know that if you get a BOGO raincheck, and then it goes on sale, you will get the BOGO on the sale price.
If something is 4.00 regular price and you get a BOGO rc, it would be 2.00.
If it goes on sale for 3.00, then you will get BOGO on 3.00.
That is how it has always worked for me anyway.

I have found this to be true and I love to redeem the BOGO rainchecks when the item goes on sale.

It makes sense for a regular sale item as well. The computer is just reading the barcode and taking off the additional $$.

I redeemed the same rain check for Huggies during last triples and I don't think I got the extra VIC savings.....I thought it was on sale then too but maybe not?? I assumed the price just got voided out since they had to manual enter the RC info. Hmmm, I like hearing that about BOGO rainchecks. Something I need to remember!

I wish I had a raincheck to use so I could test out your theory. Let us know if anyone else finds it to be true!!

I redeemed the 2/$5 Huggies RC last triples too. I think they were full price though. I need to go back to the old triples thread and check.
