Using Multiple Coupons

Store coupons can also be found in the front of the store
which can be "stacked" with manufacturer's coupons. You
may luck out and find an item on sale, along with an in-store
coupon plus an manufacturer's coupon.This is where you can
 save the most money.


Register Rewards

Walgreens Register Rewards are Catalina coupons
which print up separately from your register receipt
 after you purchase qualifying items. The Register Rewards
are like Walgreens cash that can be used on anything in the store.



Catalina machines are generally programmed to print one
Register Reward coupon for one qualifying item.
If you purchase more than one of the same qualifying
items per transaction, you will only receive one Register
Reward coupon. For example if Dry Idea Deodorant is giving
2RR if you purchase one of them then only buy one. If you buy
two in the same transaction will not get 4RR.

You can ask for multiple transactions.
 I usually just buy more when I go back to
the store that week.
Note: In some areas the request for separate transactions may be denied.


More Tips for Maximizing Your Savings at Walgreens

 The best scenario for maximizingyour savings is to purchase
sale items with a store coupon and a manufacturer's coupons
plus a Register Reward that you received from a prior tansaction.
However, Walgreens' registers do not accept more coupons
than items. To get around this, pick up an cheap item so that
you have more items than coupons and the transaction will be
processed. I usally pick out a cheap clearance item in the candy
aisle.


Drastically reduced items and end-of-season deals
can often be found on the end of the aisles at Walgreens.
I just found 1 dollar flip-flops.:) Then my dog ate it the next day. :(
