A bit of information about Walgreens!

So first, let me say that I get all my tips and info from www.hiptosave.com. PLEASE go to her site if you want to learn her tricks!!!!

So my newest favorite is Walgreens. I never ever thought I would say that. Until learning their system, I maybe had been in their store a handful of times during my entire life. Walgreens has a system call Register Rewards. Basically, certain items you buy qualify for a register reward (RR). These are advertised in their papers. Example. This month they have dayquil/Nyquil on sale 2 for $10. But you get a $5 coupon (RR) after you pay. So essentially it is 2 for $7. Then, if you have the coupon's for $1.50 off any dayquil or Nyquil, it is $1 per box.

Things can get tricky with RR's. First thing to understand is they count as a manufacturer coupon. And when you shop at Walgreen's you cannot have more MFR coupons than items. So say you want to use an RR but you have coupons for everything. Don't fret!!! Simply find a "filler" item, something cheap, or something you need but no have coupons for, and it will count for that coupon. Second, you cannot "chain" the same RR deal. You cannot purchase more Nyquil/Dayquil with the RR you just got for doing the deal. You can however, chain new deals. You can use glade RR's on Nyquil, etc. This is how you get the most for your buck. Yes, it can be tiresome and annoying, and some Walgreens won't let you do alot of transactions, but if you plan it right, you can do well.

Another great thing about Walgreens & RR's is you can "make" money off of items. If you have a MFR coupon that brings the item down below the amount of RR you are getting, you will make money on the transaction. For example, starting on 12/2 this week there were several items that were Free after RR. One was Acai berry supplements. You buy it for $4 and you get $4 back. BUT, there was a $3 off coupon available on their website and in the boxes. This stuff was FLYING off the shelf. You made $3 on it! Also, there were dentek floss picks for $2 and you get $2 back in RR. On their website was a $1 off coupon. I used my co-workers computer and my mom's computer (you can only print two per computer) and got 6 bags, and made $6 off of them!!!

Like I said, if you need any additional info, I strongly encourage you to visit www.hiptosave.com!!!!!
