The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll your Register Rewards from week to week.If you are following my weekly Walgreens $5 Scenarios, you have a $6 and a $1 Register Reward from last week to start with. If you have no Register Reward, this is still a great scenario to get started shopping at Walgreens.

ReplyDeleteLove your blog!!!
Hi Nalu - Every Walgreens makes their own rules. I know of one that limits RR transactions to one a day. Good thing there are Walgreens on every other corner here in St Louis.
ReplyDeleteI've only got one local Walgreens. The store manager is a real a**. I'm just waiting for limitations with my store, then I will be so sad!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa - Oh, I hope that doesn't happen to you. I have 12 or maybe more within 5 miles of my house. If one is hard to deal with I can drive right past them to another store. But, I understand that isn't always the case.
