Walgreens $5 Shopping Scenario - Black Friday Weekend
The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more. If you budget $5 per week, you will save a ton of money.
Check out at the Cosmetic Counter. Multiple transaction always go smoother at a less busy register. Please be polite and only do a couple transactions at a time and step to the back of the line. This give you time to regroup and it makes the cashier and customers behind you from getting upset

I have not shopped Walgreens since they began the new program. Do I have to have a rewards card to receive the register rewards now?
ReplyDeleteHi Tonya - I haven't shopped at Walgreens much lately either. You will need a card to get the sale price. You can sign up at the store. The cashier will enter your info - it only takes a minute or so.
DeleteI have not been shopping at Wags much either, I made today an exception, and feel pretty good about my shopping trip. My problem lately is that the receipts aren't showing your BR points anymore. I have been to 2 dfferent stores in the lasr 2 days. Manager couldn't even tell me what my balance was. Today spent $60 for $410 total of products. Including some presents.
DeleteMy receipt last night showed all my Balance Rewards details - how many earned for that transaction, new balance and number needed for the next level.
DeleteSince my original post I am very discouraged by the BR system!!! I have spent over 1/2 an hour with CS for BR and the only answer I got was...I returned items from 2 transactions which I recieved 10,000 pts total from. My problem??? I have the receipts that show I did not get the points, I even questioned a manager about it before I left the store and I was told I did not recieve them because my total was not $35 after cpns. I am now finally postive points again, had I know that I was negative I never would had done the transactions I did this past weekend. Quite honestly I am consdering returning all but what I REALLY need. Which will leave me negative pts again, so then I guess I'll transfer my meds to CVS where I find myself shopping more and more. I have had fun there this weekend.
DeleteWhy do Walgreens have to make everything so difficult? You're not the first person I've heard from that DONE with Walgreens.
