What you need to know about Walgreen's

Believe it or not, Walgreen's can be the location of some of the best buys with coupons. Here is what you need to know:

Walgreen's puts out a monthly store coupon book (the current one expires October 22nd). They can be found in the front of the store, usually by the weekly sale ads. These coupons can be matched with manufacturer coupons for great savings! I've been matching a $1 store coupon on Cottonelle that is in the current booklet with .50 and .75 cent manufacturer coupons on their 12 packs of Cottonelle, which are pre-priced at $5, bringing my final price to $3.25 or $3.50 a package. You can only use one of those at a time so if you want more than one, take your spouse with you! LOL. Correction! I have been told by a friend that you can indeed buy more than one of the items and use the store coupons. She just used one store coupon, bought 3 Cottonelle and it took $1 off for each one. So my advice is to try it out and watch to make sure, but that should make it much easier! 

Walgreen's has what they call Register Rewards. These are manufacturer coupons that print out at the end of the transaction and can be used on your next visit to the store. You can look at each week's sale ad for what Register Rewards are currently available. But remember these things about Register Rewards:
1. You can only get one per item per visit. So for example, if a product has a Register Reward that week, you can't go in and buy several of them and get multiple of the same Register Rewards.
2. You CAN match a manufacturer coupon with a Register Reward and maximize your savings. If the Register Reward prints out after buying a certain $ amount of items, the $ amount is figured before coupon costs, so you can still use your coupons to save money.
3. You cannot take a Register Reward back in to the store and try to buy the same product and get the same Register Reward. For example, if you got a $1 Register Reward on Hall's cough drops, you can't go back in and buy Hall's cough drops with that same Register Reward and get ANOTHER $1 Register Reward.
4. Register Rewards are put out by the manufacturer's of products to entice you to try their product. Therefore, when you go back to use them, your total of manufacturer coupons and Register Rewards cannot exceed your number of items. It took me a while to figure that out. So, either look for deals on their clearance aisle or plan on buying some little packs of gum or candy if your total number of those exceeds your number of items. Store coupons DO NOT count in that total though!
