Walgreens can be kinda tricky but if done properly, you can really stack up some great deals, free stuff and even make a little money.

In Ad Coupons: Walgreens weekly circular are filled with coupons good at Walgreens. These are store coupons so they can be used with a manufactures coupon.

Register Rewards (RR): These are the coupons that print after purchasing the promotional products. This is Walgreens version of Catalina coupons. Walgreens will usually advertise Register Rewards in their weekly ads and in the store.

You will only receive one RR per promotion for each transaction. So if you want to pick up multiple toothpastes, you will have to ring them up separately. Keep in mind you will not receive another RR if you use the one you received from the prior purchase to pay for the same item on the next transaction. In other words, do not use the RR you received from the first toothpaste to pay for the second.

This is where it gets tricky. Register Rewards are considered manufacture coupons. You will have to make sure you have more items than coupons. Otherwise, you may have to add a filler item to be able to use your RR. To make things easier for me, I always have a back up plan for a filler item just in case.

EasySaver Catalog (ESC): Every month Walgreens puts out a new catalog that contains coupons and mail in rebates for the month. You can find them at the front of the store. PICK ONE UP!!

Instant Value Coupon (IVC): These are manufacture coupons found in the ESC that are only good at Walgreens. These can be used with manufacture coupons.

You will also find additional coupons around the store and in different Walgreens magazines found in the pharmacy. Most cashiers are very helpful if you have any questions about what coupons you can use and as long as the register will accept them, so will they.

There is an order to giving the cashier your coupons. Giving your RR before your coupons for some reason will help reduce problems. So when possible you should give your RR then manufactures coupons then store coupons.

If you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me! Have fun shopping!

It pays to register at CVS, Rite-Aid and Walgreens.  You gain access to coupons and discounts not available to the public. Just this week alone, I have received a $4 off $20 purchase at CVS and a 15% discount at Walgreens on Friday.

I was planning to stop at Walgreens today but think I will wait one more day. They are having a great sale on Huggies Diapers! I will be able to pick up a pack of diapers for less than $3. I have several baby showers over the next few months and these will make great gifts!

There is a Schick Quattro Rebate form in the Feb. 7 SmartSource insert.  You can purchase it at Walgreens for $8.99 and receive $3 in Register Rewards. Submit the Rebate Form for the full purchase price of $8.99. You just made $3 off this purchase!

While you are there, pick up the Dove Men’s Body Wash too and start collecting items to make a basket for Father’s Day for either your husband or dad! They love to be spoiled too but just will not admit it! And so far, you have no cost in it!

I was in a hurry by the time I made this trip and just put it all together.  I could have separated my transactions and used fillers so as not to use any money out of pocket but I decided to use my RR for next week.

Be sure and check out Southern Savers for CVS, Walgreens and Rite-Aid sales for this upcoming week.  I LOVE the fact you can print your “Shopping List”.  This makes it a lot easier for me to sort through coupons, sales fliers and know what I am getting when I get there.

Be sure to let me know how your shopping trip turns out or if you have any suggestions or scenarios of your own.

The objective is to only spend $5 out of pocket at each CVS, Walgreens and Rite-Aid while growing your Extra Care Bucks, Register Rewards and Single Check Rebates to use in upcoming weeks.  The purpose is to spend as little money out of pocket while stockpiling your pantry.  The goal is to never pay full price for anything especially your staples but to get them for FREE or as little as possible.

Since hubby has become unemployed, we have had to really rethink our finances and way of spending. I always want his support on anything we do so we both decided to give this a try again but most importantly, working together.

I found Keeping the Kingdom First who will show you how to spend $5 each week at CVS and Walgreens using the sales and coupons.   Check out Budget Saving Mom for these and Rite-Aid too.  I also found Southern Savers where you can print out a shopping list to help with this challenge.

Best of luck to you!  Let me know if you decide to take the challenge and what deals you find!
