The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll your Register Rewards from week to week.
Last week's Walgreens Scenario, left you with a $2 Register Reward. So, here is how I would use it this week. If you're not starting out with the Register Reward, this is still a good scenario to get you started at Walgreens.
Check out all of this week's Walgreens deals HERE.
Transaction #1
purchase:
(1) EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream $2.99

Register Reward from last week -$2.00
= $0.99 + tax out of pocket and receive a $3 EOS Products Register Reward
Transaction #2
purchase:
(1) Schick Hydro Razor $7.99
(1) W Candy $0.39 (need for filler to use Register Reward)

Walgreens May Coupon book coupon for Infusium -$4.00*
Energizer Register Reward -$5.00

Total retail before sales: $46.51
Total out of pocket: $2.11 + tax for a 95% savings

If you didn't start with a Register Reward, you have still spent only $4.11 + tax, a 91% savings.

I like the way you use candy as your 'filler'. That's my kind of shopping!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing scenario! Those Schick RR's are sweet!
ReplyDeleteI was just recently turned onto this site, AMAZING to say the least! but Can you tell me what EOS is in trans #2?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Sally,
ReplyDeleteEOS is the manufacturer/company from the Shave Gel so you know to use the RR from that one. It is printed on the reward. Actually, I think it is printing as skintimate. You can't use a reward from the same company to roll on another product from that company with an RR.
Hi Anonymous - I hate that you have to buy something to use a RR. I uaually go for the cheapest thing avaialable, but I'll gladly pay an extra 5 cents for candy over knee high hose.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally - Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks Rhonda for explaining my notation on RR.
Help! I cannot find the coupons for the Infusium product. Is it in the Sunday paper? I know there are coupons in the Walgreens booklet but are there manuf. coupons for these products?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Jan
Hi Jan - If you get the St Louis Post-Dispatch, it was in this weekends coupon insert. It's located about half-way through on the back side of the Children's Claritin and Glade Sense & Spary page. Hope you find it.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Kentucky so maybe that's why I didn't get them. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Jan
If you have a Pick'n Save in your area they will honor your rewards coupon as cash.
