There are times when I'd rather have the rain check! I can't pass up a
bargain, even if I have plenty of whatever the sale item is already.
So if they are out of it, I would actually prefer the rain check...
this way I can wait until I need whatever it is, and still get the
sale price! Did that with cat food recently. Didn't really need it,
they didn't have Ellie's flavors anyway. Got a rain check; now I can
wait until I'm low on inventory, and still get the sale price.
