Extreme Couponing 101: Walgreens

You can find really great deals at Walgreens but it does take practice. Just keep in mind these few things and it will be very simple for you.

RR means Register Rewards. These are basically a coupon/catalina that will print at the register to use towards a different transaction.
In Store Coupons: These can be found on Walgreens Website or in the Ad located at the front of the store. (You can stack mfg coupon)
Walgreens Coupon Booklet: These are put out monthly and are located at the front of the door near the store ads. (You can stack mfg coupon).

How to put to use (only an example):

You have two tubes of Crest Toothpaste listed at $1.50 each and you'll receive a $1 RR (Register Reward)

Buy 2 Crest Toothpaste $1.50 Each
-use 3/6 PG Save $1/1 (use 2 coupons from the P&G Sunday coupon insert on March 6th)
Out of Pocket: You receive 2 tubes for $1.00
Receive: $1 in Register Rewards
(Basically you receive FREE)

What can you do with this Register Reward? You CAN NOT turn around and do the same deal. The reason being is you CAN NOT use a RR on a product in the same family that is offering a RR. Example, if you turned around and did this same deal, it would cancel the $1 RR. You WOULD NOT receive one back. Same true on any RR and P&G deal.

So here is what you could do:

Buy 1 Colgate Toothpaste $1.50
-use 3/6 SS Save $1/1 (Smart Source Sunday coupon insert on March 6th)
-use $1 RR (Register Reward (your received from 1st transaction)
-----------------------------------cash register will beep--------------------------------------------------

*a Register Reward (RR) counts as a coupon, so you have to have equal or greater amount of items in order to use coupons and Register Reward (RR)

Buy 1 Colgate Toothpaste $1.50
-use 3/6 SS Save $1/1 (Smart Source Sunday coupon insert on March 6th)
-use $1 RR (Register Reward (your received from 1st transaction)
Grab a item that is $.50 or more
Final Price, FREE

or

Buy 1 Colgate Toothpaste $1.50 w/in store coupon (IVC)
-use 3/6 SS Save $1/1 (Smart Source Sunday coupon insert on March 6th)
-use in store coupon
-use $1 RR (Register Reward (you received from 1st transaction)
Grab 2 items that are $.50 or more
Final Price, FREE

The one thing I love about Walgreens is that you can go back to the store and keep doing the same deals! The things I don't like is the majority of the time it is really hard to find the items in store, they DO NOT allow rain checks and your Register Rewards don't always print. If this happens, just make sure you don't purchase the products or you request a manager. A manager can print one for you.
