Have you ever found a really great sale at your grocery store only to later see the shelf completely empty? If so, what have you done? In the past, I would have kept on moving or grabbed another brand. Now, I request a rain check and you should do so too.

Rain checks, as you likely already know, are little tickets or pieces of paper that state you are entitled to receive the advertised sale price at a later date, even after the price has changed. Your grocery store may place an expiration date on that rain check, but not always.

Although rain checks can seem like a pain, as you often have to visit the customer service department to get them, they are still a great way to save money on groceries.

While you will find some variances, most full sized grocery stores do offer rain checks, even if they aren’t advertised. Department stores and convenience stores, on the other hand, typically just operate on a “we have it until it is gone,” basis.
