Tip...Get rain check if Zellers out of stock
I haven't tried to redeem the $3 coupons for the Zellers' sale of 2 for $5 they have this week.....when I went tonight they were out of stock on shelf. I went to customer service and got a rain check. I asked and there is no expiry on the rain check...so there will be plenty of time to redeem coupons and take advantage of sale price.
Problem I envision though...I had a $2 coupon for Satin Care shaving gel which Zellers has on sale for $1.97. Although the cashier and her supervisor ended up letting me have the item and accepting the coupon, the cashier initially pointed out to me that they can't take a coupon which is more than the price of the item. (Long story short I tried to pick up the infamous Glade candle tins at 3.99 with my $4 coupons and the cashier called me on it stating she had no idea what to do and commented they can't take coupons that are more than price of item....I didn't end up with the candles because the supervisor said they weren't the items pictured...so I never got an answer as to whether they normally would accept coupons for items priced slightly lower than value of coupon)
In any case.....the regular price on toilet cleaning gel is $4.99 on sale for 2 for $5; it still ends up to be a great deal if you get 2 for $5 and can apply a $3 coupon....the total price you'd pay for 2 (factoring in coupon, sale price and taxes I have to pay) would be $2.65!! A good deal I'd think.
