Rainbow Shopping List 4/26 – 5/2/09

These are the best deals I see this week at Rainbow – assuming you go on Wednesday and have the value of your coupons doubled.  Click here to see a run down of Rainbow’s coupon policies and how to get your coupons doubled in value. To learn how to read this shopping list and understand the abbreviations used click here.

****Note: Rainbow has historically given “overage” (in essence a credit toward the other groceries you were purchasing) when the value of a doubled coupon exceeds the price of the item, but they are not doing that anymore.  I noticed that on my receipt last week and got some comments from others that they experienced the same thing.
