Week of 5/17/09Here are a few ideas for rolling Register Rewards and only spend $5 out of pocket. Take a look at this week's coupon match ups for the details on where to find the coupons.
Stop after the 4th transaction if you take only a $5 bill to Walgreens, but for another .43 cents you can bring home an additional $16.43 in merchandise. I'd take some extra pocket change.

my walgreens won't let me receive a register reward when paying with a register reward. But smooth move for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tasha
ReplyDeleteCatch - I've never had a problem using RR and getting RR as long as they are from different manufacturers.
What part of the country do you live in? Have you ever contacted Walgreens corporate and asked about RR policy?
Here in St Louis, Walgreens are on about every other corner. If one store is not coupon friendly, I just go to another store.
