Walgreens 101

Walgreens has a register reward program that print with certain products each week.  Check luvdeals.blogspot.com for weekly deals.  Walgreens may be the most confusing drug store, but you can score some great deals!  If a product x is on sale for $4.99 and has a register reward for $4.99 than the item will be free.

Register Rewards will generally print out for 1 cent higher than the ad says.  Product x would print a reward for $5 not the $4.99 stated in the ad.  These rewards count as a manufacture coupons and only 1 manufacture coupon can be used per product.  If you try to use your $5 register reward to pay for product y which you also have a $1 off coupon for from the Sunday paper, you will be over the allowed 1 coupon per item. The complete this transaction you will need to purchase a filler item like a small piece of candy or a pencil for the transaction to accept 2 coupons. (Walgreens coupons in the ad do not count as a manufacture coupon, so you can use it with 1 manufacture coupon.)  I always use my dollar off manufacture coupons first than give my rewards in case something doesn't work. This way I will have a reward left and not a dollar off manufacture coupon. 

Register Rewards can not be used to pay for the same item.  You can not use your earned rewards dollars from product x to purchase another product x.

You can purchase multiple items as long as they are in separate transactions!  Walgreens does not have cards so there is no way to track a transaction to you or your household. This is how you can get some great deals and stock up!  You can purchase 3 of  product x in 3 different transactions and get 3 $5 register rewards for future use.  The next week you can put the $5 rewards toward 3 of product y.  Each of these rewards must be used in separate transactions, so if you have 3 rewards from product x, than you must use them in 3 transactions for product y.  If you have a reward for product x and one for product y than you can put 2 together and purchase product z and product a in one transaction.

I know this is confusing so if you have any questions feel free to contact me!  Good luck and please share your great deals with me!
