The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll your Register Rewards from week to week.If you are following my Walgreens $5 Scenarios, you have a $8 of Register Rewards from last week to start with.
Make sure you take your pocket change. With this scenario, you can do four transactions and pay with coins for each of them.

Jeri,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to share this. I went to Walgreen's and purchased 1 box of U by Kotex, used $1 MQ and $2 WQ, paid .53 and got a catalina coupon for a free box of Playtex tampons.
I purchased 1 box of U by Kotex tampons.....
ReplyDeleteThanks a million for the info Allison =)
ReplyDeleteJust one more thing. It did not generate the coupon with the Kotex Security tampons.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! Thanks Allison for passing on the info.
ReplyDeleteI've followed your scenarios the last 3 weeks and they have worked out great. Never had any coupons beep and the RR's always print without fail. I started frequenting the one close to my work so I could make the runs at lunch time and not have to bring my 5 year old along. The cashiers in this store are fantastic. Today the cashier was more excited than I was lol..Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous - You're welcome. It's good to hear about the good expierences at Walgreens. Looks like you have found a great store to shop at.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the best order for them to enter the coupons? Do I need to give the instore coupons last? I gave them first, and then I couldn't use my register rewards at the end.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone received the Free Playtex coupon/cat when purchasing only one box of the U by Kotex? Just wondering if I need to buy two of them or if I can purchase just one....thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous - I always give the cashier manf. coupons, Walgreens coupons then RR.
ReplyDeleteWhat were you buying and what coupons were you using? I might be able to help you figure out why that happened.
Hi Anonymous - From my understanding people are getting the Free Playtex coupon when purchasing only on box of U by Kotex tampons. But, not everyone is getting the coupon.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's store specific or just random.
Hi Jeri-
ReplyDeleteI'm anonymous 8:23pm. The cashier pushed through two of the U by Kotex coupons, giving me $8, instead of just $4, and then my coupon to items ratio was off. I went to another Walgreens near the CVS I was going to this week, and everything went fine. The cashier there was very nice and seemed to better understand the coupons. On a side note, I just have to say I really love the ease of CVS's Extra Bucks and the helpful and friendly staff. I've been in 4 or 5 times over the past couple weeks, and I always get someone different checking me out at the register, but everyone of them has been great! They usually notice I'm buying the sale items and ask how many transactions I'd like to make. I'm so glad to have found your blog! You are saving me tons of time, and I'm really starting to get good Walgreens and CVS deals. Thank you!
Hi Anonymous 8:23pm - At Walgreens the ease of the trasnaction all depends on the cashier.
ReplyDeleteI love CVS too. I'm sure the drugstores make most of their profits on prescriptions. CVS gets "it". Good customer service is going to influence customers when it comes time to deciding where to fill their presciptions.
