Got the ad in front of me and DDD's again this Saturday!

Thanks Jackie! I love it when you give us all a heads up!

So, what is everyone shopping for on Saturday? I plan on stocking up on the Barilla pasta. I ordered $1/2 coupons on the bay. I also picked up $1/2 for the Sargento shredded cheese. It's not a great ad but it has potential.

I wasn't thinking last week. I should have picked up a rain check on the freezerware.
I did get 4 packs when they were on sale and started using them to freeze blueberries. I got rid of all of my plastic a couple of years ago but I admit, I like these. I would like to get more and freeze strawberries before they are gone for the season.

[An Exercise In Frugality]

Mcbridra-I didn't get a raincheck either and I should have. Every time that deal comes around they are out and I always forget rainchecks. DOH!

Btw-does anyone know if the Barilla Microwave meals are on sale this week by any chance? They are not in the ad and i know they are regularly $2.99 and I have a $1/1 coupon that will double, so I was hoping that they would be on sale and therefore cheaper than $0.99

I special ordered 48 packs of the freezerware containers

I hid 4 of the Gillette shave gels tonight when going in for the bacon for the 13 hour sale because I know whey will be wiped out tomorrow before I get there in the AM.

It's so frustrating sometimes when they have double doubles and rainbow BARELY orders any stock for things that will go fast. Last double double days I went in for 7 different items and 10 coupons to double and I left with NOTHING!(then again the Rainbow I live by is horrible)

I'm going to have to resort to hiding more often now which is really sad but I pass Rainbow on my way home anyway so it's not a huge inconvenience.

[Heather33094]

I have the same problem here at my Rainbow. The best deals are always gone. Thank goodness for rain-checks!

Rainchecks are nice and I always get them but sometimes the store STILL doesn't have the items weeks later.

I had 3 rainchecks as back up plans on the last "double double" and I still couldn't even find enough of what I wanted to double or from my back up rainchecks and so I left the store with nothing.

I know "hiding items" is a frowned upon tactic by many but it's not like I am trying to shelf clear. When I hide items it's always going to be 5 or less of the same item that I know the store will not have by the time I get there.

[Heather33094]

No worries And true statement about rain-checks! There is nothing more frustrating than having an item you are waiting for to be restocked... never be restocked.

Im confused. What coupon are you guys using for the shaving gel? My coupon from the PG is for Fusion which was not shown on sale at my Rainbow?? Was there another coupon in the PG that I missed

Hi Lisa

Rainbow's ad only mentioned Gillette selected varieties so I wasn't sure if the Gillette Fusion was included in the sale. I have been hearing reports that it is not and have since taken it out of my scenario. I had completely forgotten to report back here about it! Sorry for the confusion, Hope that helps!

[Lisa S]

Thanks for the update.... My Rainbow is not a very good one at posting sale prices so I just wanted to make sure. Could have been a GREAT way to use those coupons as I love free shaving gel
