Getting the hang of shopping at drug stores and getting great discount can be hard. Hopefully I can explain this in such a way that you “get it”. Of course you can always ask questions if you have them and I will do my best to answer them. I am by no means an expert at this, but I am doing my best to reach expert status!So, here we go with the “rules” of Walgreens.
Walgreens ads come with coupons! Use them! These coupons have limits posted on them and you can get that limit with one coupon. You can stack these in ad coupons with manufacturer coupons to get greater savings.
Walgreens prints an Easy Saver catalog that can be found at the front of any store by the weekly ad. These catalogs have instant value coupons (IVC) that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons!
The best way to save at Walgreens is to get their loyalty card and get Register Rewards (RR) with your purchases. Register Rewards are manufacturer coupons that print when your transaction is complete. You can use these RR to buy other items that earn RR, but you CANNOT use them on the same item. Items that give RR have limits printed in the ad on how many RR you can earn on that item.
EXAMPLE
Buy Tylenol for $3.99 and earn $3.00RR; then buy Gillette Razor for $7.99, use $3.00RR from Tylenol and earn $4.00RR for razor. Cannot use $3.00RR to buy more Tylenol and earn another $3.00RR.
When using coupons you cannot use more coupons than items purchased, excluding ad coupons and IVC’s. On one(1) item you can use an IVC and manufacturer coupon, but cannot add an RR unless you add another item to purchase.
The best way to save is to make a purchase on a couple items that earn RR then go get more items that earn RR and use the first RR to help pay for second purchase. This reduces your out-of-pocket expenses right off the bat.
REGISTER REWARDS EXPIRE!!! Pay attention to the dates printed on RR.
