Walgreens 101

Walgreens:

*This is my favorite place to shop at. You can score some really amazing deals every week. They offer in-ad coupons that you can stack with a manufacture coupon so can get some steals this way. These come in the circulars weekly. Sometimes they also have some in the weekly coupon inserts.

Example:
The Walgreens coupon is for $2.49 and the manufacture coupon take off $0.75;
-Buy (2) Cottonelle Fresh Wipes $4.98
-Use $0.75 on any two Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes
-Pay $4.23 for both or $2.11 each

*Another way to save is by getting Register Rewards aka Catalinas. A Register Reward is a coupon that prints out after your transaction that is for a certain amount advertised.
The following picture is what it would look like in a weekly circular.

Example:
Mitchum or Lady Mitchum Antiperspirant/Deodorant $2.99 receive $2 RR
-Buy Lady Mitchum Deodorant $2.99
-Pay $2.99
-Get $2 RR good on your next purchase at Walgreens
=Like paying $0.99!

Now here’s where it gets fun:
Use a manufacture coupon to make it really cheap! (many times free!)

-Buy Lady Mitchum Deodorant $2.99
-Use $1.00 any Mitchum
-Pay $2.00
-Get $2 RR good on your next purchase at Walgreens
= FREE

**If coupon is greater than the sale price, price of the item will be adjusted down as stated in the Walgreens Coupon Policy.

You can also “roll” your register rewards to maximize your savings.
**The Walgreens coupon policy states that you must have the same amount of items as manufacture coupons, so this is where the “fillers” come in. Usually, Walgreens has a Deal of the Week on the front page of their circular. Which is a pretty cheap item that you can use to “fill” your transaction to have an equal amount of items. You don’t have to use this! You can mind something else in the clearance section, or it may be an item that you want and don’t have a coupon for.

Example:

Transaction #1
Mitchum or Lady Mitchum Antiperspirant or Deodorant $2.99 Get $2 RR
-Buy Lady Mitchum Deodorant $2.99
-Use $1.00 any Mitchum
-Pay $2.00
-Get $2 RR good on your next purchase at Walgreens
= FREE

Transaction #2
Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste $4.99 Get $3 RR
-Buy Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste $4.99 &
Nice! Tomato Sauce $0.25
-Use $1.50/1 Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste &
2 RR Mitchum
-Pay $1.74
-Get 3 RR!

So basically your OOP (Out of Pocket) was $3.74 and you ended up with a $3 RR = Like paying $0.74 for 1 Mitchum Deodorant, 1 Colgate Toothpaste, and 1 Can of Tomato Sauce.

*Walgreens also has monthly coupon books, located in the front of the store, next to the circulars. You can also stack these with 1 manufacture coupon and also with an in-ad coupon. Look out for seasonal coupon books in the pharmacy and in the cosmetics!

**Reminders
-Always hand over your manufacture coupons, then you walgreens coupons, and finally your RR.

-You can not “roll” an RR on the same item. For example you can’t get your 2 RR from the Mitchum Deodorant and use it to purchase another Mitchum Deodorant to receive another RR. They won’t print.

-If you are purchasing 2 of the same item that have a RR, you must do separate transactions. Otherwise only 1 RR will print.
