Rainbow Shopping List 5/31 – 6/6/09

These are the best deals I see this week at Rainbow.  The list is organized by section of the grocery store, then by price within each section with the freebies first.  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.  If you see something I missed, please leave a comment.

Remember that you can print each coupon twice from a single computer.  The final price per item assumes you shop on Wednesday and have the value of your coupons doubled.  If your store is out of a sale item be sure and ask at the Customer Service desk for a rain check.  Please note: The coupons on Coupons.com will likely change during the first few days of June.  If that happens before Wednesday, then I will come back in to modify this list.

Comments

  1. Jen says:

    Thanks for the list! Just one thing…the Yo Plus coupon linked above has “Do not Double or Triple” at the top of the coupon and I’ve had cashiers deny my coupons for that reason on Wednesdays. Just a heads up.

    • Carrie Rocha says:

      Jen – Thanks for sharing. I want to live by the rules and so I will ask the clerk what I should do when the coupon says “do not double”, but I want to use it on a Wednesday when I am doing the rest of my shopping. That way I am disclosing that to the clerk and letting the store advise me on how to proceed. –Carrie

  2. angela says:

    Please make sure you know the policy at your store. The one in cottage grove will only doubles five dollars worth for a total discount of ten. It was embarrassing asking why they were not all doubled. Plus you must make a $25 min purchase. Happy shopping!

  3. Melissa says:

    Thanks for the shopping list! I went today and saved more than I spent! However, I couldn’t find the $2.00 kool-aid. Did you find that in the ad?

    • Carrie Rocha says:

      Melissa – Way to go! I did see the Kool-Aid in the ad, but sometimes they don’t label their shelves with sale prices. I have learned to bring the ad with me and then compare the items I question right there in the store. If I am still unsure, I’ll ask for a price check before the cashier rings my order. Thanks for reading and sharing your money saving success story! –Carrie

  4. Karen says:

    Carrie,

    Just a quick note to say thanks for so faithfully doing the lists. This week at Rainbow I bought around $240 retail worth of groceries and paid only $116 – a 52% savings!

    Thanks again!
    Karen

    • Carrie Rocha says:

      Karen – You are welcome! At that rate you’d save roughly $6,500 per year on groceries. Wowzers – that is “real” money. Thanks for sharing. –Carrie
