These are the best deals I see this week at Rainbow. This list is organized by department of the grocery store, then by price within department – freebies first. The two special offers (Dove and Procter & Gamble) where you buy specified products to get a coupon good on your next purchase are highlighted separately at the end of the list. That should help you figure out if you want to take advantage of those deals.
A few other notes:
- To learn how to read this shopping list and understand the abbreviations used click here
- Click here to see a run down of Rainbow’s coupon policies and how to get your coupons doubled in value. The final price per item on this list 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
- You should be able to print each coupon twice from a single computer

Buy Select Procter & Gamble Products, Get Coupon for $$ Off Your Next Meat Purchase
Buy $25, Get $ 5 off; Buy $30, Get $7 off; Buy $35, Get $10 off
Only products that also have coupons are included in this list. They are organized by sale price, lowest to highest to help you decide whether this offer will work for you. The threshold amount is based on the sale price of the items you buy and remember that only 5 coupons double per transaction. Also, if you do this deal and more than one transaction on Wednesday, then do this first so you can use the coupon right away on a meat purchase in your second transaction. That eliminates the chance that it expires before you use it.

About Carrie Rocha
What page of the ad did you find the lysol disinfecting wipes (2/$4)? The only ones I could find were the ones for 3.99.
Thanks!
Christina – You see the sanitizing wipes for $3.99, right? Look two items above it and you’ll see a list of Lysol products that are $2.00. The Disinfecting Wipes are included in that list. Does that help? –Carrie
One more question – I couldn’t find the $1/2 printable electrasol coupon. The only one I could find was for 50 cents off of one. Did they change it on the website?
Thanks!
Christina – I didn’t log in myself today, so it is possible that the $1/2 is gone. Anyone else find it? –Carrie
Thanks! I see the disinfecting wipes now.
Carrie, question: the $25 minimum for doubles that’s based upon the regular price? So, the prices listed in the circular I would add the “save up to $$” to the sale price to see how close to $25 I am?
Nicole – In short, yes, use the “save up to $$$” to calculate your $25 total. The ad sometimes overstates the sale price, meaning they’ll say you save up to $1.99, but when you get to the store it is actually $1.29 in savings. So pay attention and be ready with some fillers if you need them. –Carrie
one more question, for the B1G1 does the free item count towards your $25 minimum?
Nicole – It always has when I have done it. I plan to do that this week with the B1G1 bread and both the one I buy and the one I get free count toward my $25. –Carrie
As always, thank you Carrie!
Here is a link for a coupon for a free box of Kelloggs crackers when you buy 2 boxes of cereal.
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qfahbaz49535861&bt=wg&o=56465&c=SK&p=V3QyOKpI
Nevermind, I guess it’s only good at Target.
The Ballpark Franks Deal says Do Not Double on the coupon. Does this matter or does it depend on the cashier?
Tiffany – I would be up front with the cashier and ask what you should do. Tell them that you want to be the franks because they are on sale, but have this coupon. The coupon happens to say “do not double” and you know it is “double coupon Wednesday” – what now?? In my experience the cashiers appreciate the integrity that shows and ring the coupon letting the register decide whether or not to double it – which it does. I’d be okay though if they said I couldn’t double them. I am a firm believer in doing the right thing. That’s my two cents. What do the rest of you think? –Carrie
Is 2.25 a good deal for the electrosol or should I hold out for a better deal?
I can’t seem to get the brick’s coupons to print. It’s been happening for a while. I’ll occasionally get one but any idea what I’m doing wrong?!
Erika – Do you use IE or FireFox? –Carrie
Just wanted to share my deal from Rainbow today. I spend $17.50 and saved $31! Thanks for the valuable info Carrie! It’s SOOO much fun to save so much!
Tiffany – You’re welcome. Thanks for sharing! –Carrie
Thanks for the list (as always) but especially for pointing out the Bic Soleil deal ($3.49 for 4 razors + $3 off coupon) – I LOVED paying $0.49 for 4 NICE razors! :)
And I loved the fact that I saved $32.00 in coupons on a $65 order (next time I’ll be smarter and split my order to save another $5).
Thanks for all that you do! :)
Kelly – I had three of those $3/1 coupons for razors so I am stocked up for awhile. I was excited about that too! Yep, splitting your order is the way to go and no one has ever seemed to mind when I do two transactions. Thanks for sharing! –Carrie
Thanks for the list Carrie….I’m stil a novice at this…I have only been following your web-stie for 3 weeks. However, at Rainbow we spent $86.00 dollars on $136.00 of groceries for a savings of $50.00! (My goal next week is to save more than I spend!) Keep up the awesome work! (FYI-The Fusion Shave gel is $2.69 (at 25%) off and I had a dollar coupon that got doubled on Wednesday….my shave gel was. $.69 cents! No bad for a novice!)
