Last Post

I have decided that this will be my last post. I have really enjoyed blogging over the past year but I can't give the blog all of the time that I would like, so it's time to give it up. Thanks for checking in for good deals and local updates. I will still be teaching Grocery Tutor classes, but can't commit the time to blog. Have a great summer. Hope to see many of you at Rainbow Foods!

Thanks!

Rainbow Foods Catalina Coupons

I noticed a change in the way Rainbow prints some of its catalina coupons this week. The current Kellogg's cereal promotion includes an instant $10 off and a coupon for a gallon of FREE milk up to $3.00. Typically this milk coupon would print out of the catalina machine upon the completion of your checkout. This week it printed out in the form of a coupon at the bottom of the receipt similar to the CVS ExtraCareBucks. It doesn't look like a coupon so you have to look carefully. This would be easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. I'll keep my eyes open to see if this continues to be the way this type of coupon is presented. Don't let any of these end up in the trash!

Why does Cub Foods accept expired coupons?

I had the chance to visit with a woman who has worked closely with Cub Foods in the past. She shared with me that the reason Cub can accept expired coupons is because they own their own coupon clearinghouse which allows them to reimburse themselves for coupons. This answers the question as to whether Cub gets reimbursed for the expired coupons or not. This also explains why the cashiers at Cub never check the expiration date to see if it's within the 5 mo. period or not. One more piece of local shopping information to tuck away!
