$5 for $18 Worth of Product at Walgreens 6/24-6/30

New to couponing? I understand the overwhelmed feeling! So many deals, but how can it all come together in a smooth transaction? The key is using as little money out of your own pocket as possible. It takes creativity, time and experience to see the “deal through all the coupons.” Every week I pick the one drugstore I think has the best deals that week. My goal is to not spend more than $5.99 out of pocket and see how far we can s-t-r-e-t-c-h our money!

 

If you’re new to couponing in general check out my 10 Step Couponing course and my post about the language of coupons and how to read match-ups.

 

Some notes about shopping at Walgreens:

 

  • Keep their coupon policy handy in case you need it.
  • Their cashback program is called Register Rewards (RR). A coupon that prints from a separate machine that can be used to purchase anything in the store, except prescriptions.
  • You can use a manufacturer coupon AND a Walgreens store coupon on one item.
  • Walgreens has store coupons in their weekly store flyer AND in a separate booklet that you find in-store.
  • The Walgreens coupons found in the Monthly Booklet deduct amounts equal to the products, so you only need 1 coupon regardless of how many products you are buying of that item.
  • You can’t use more coupons than products. Register Rewards are counted as coupons.
  • Register Rewards don’t “roll,” which means you cannot use an RR received from a manufacturer to buy another item from the same manufacturer, the RR will not print again.

  1. Thanks for this! Do I need to have a Walgreens store card or something? I’m trying to figure it all out and you are such a help! Going to read your course for coupons and know more!

    • The great thing about Walgreens, there is no store loyalty card! The learning curve for them comes in the form of the RRs (register rewards). If you are just starting out, I recommend doing the Suave deal. You don’t need coupons, it’s low out of pocket and you will get back a register reward to help start you out! Feel free to ask any questions!

  2. My area missed out on the $1.99 milk. That's a great price!
