Re: Rainbow Foods FAQ Just to add to the info:
The Double Coupon Wednesday has been every week so far. You can double 5 coupons with a maximum value of $1 each, totalling $10 after doubling. You must buy $25 in groceries to double any coupons. The $25 minimum is counted AFTER store specials or their own coupons. This means if you had some Rainbow coupon for $2 off toilet paper, your grocery order would only be $23 and you would not have enough to qualify for doubling coupons.
However, the $25 minimum is counted BEFORE manufacturers coupons. So the $10 you'll get for doubling five $1 coupons works more like this example: Buy $25 of goods, you'll double your 5 coupons for $10 and your order would cost $15 in the end.
You CAN use other coupons too! It's just that they limit doubling to the first 5 coupons.
When the cashier is done checking my items I say "Did I reach $25?" This is because I've had some cashiers take my coupons and THEN say "You don't have $25 of groceries". Well, I don't even want to argue with them, so I nip that in the bud. ALWAYS hand them, or have on the top of your coupons, the five you intend to double. Having a lower amount coupon first would be doubled. The computer isn't smart enough to figure out the 5 $1 coupons should be doubled, it just starts with what is entered.
I often try to look over my FAR forms and use them as the rest of the filler to reach $25, and use the reciept to do that rebate. (Only one rebate per receipt, since you'll only get one receipt; unless a rebate does not require a receipt) |
