Shop Smart: Maximize Your Grocery Haul with This Simple Tip

By Johnita Anthony,
Grocery shopping can often feel like a game of chance, especially when you find that the item you need is out of stock. However, there’s a little-known trick that savvy shoppers use to ensure they never go home empty-handed: the rain check.  According to a recent article from Delish, shoppers can request a rain check from store employees when an advertised item is unavailable. This allows you to purchase the item later at the sale price, ensuring you get the best deal possible. Taking advantage of rain checks requires a bit of foresight and communication with store staff, but the savings can add up quickly over time.
