Walgreens Scenarios 4/26-5/2

Here are a couple of scenarios to give you ideas how you can roll Register Rewards at Walgreens this week.  I try to keep the number of transactions to around two transactions.  I think that’s a number someone who’s getting started can manage to do in one trip at their store without feeling flustered.

Transaction #1

In this first transaction I am adding two Ecotrins to my order.  This is just in case you usually have problems at your store with coupons beeping because the value of the coupon is higher than the value of the item.  However, as you can read in this article “How the Walgreens Register Works.”  Because the value of both Ecotrins is $4, the $2.25/1 coupon won’t beep even when you are adding a $1/1 Ecotrin coupon because the total value of the items ($4) is less than the value of the coupons ($3.25).

$14.99 bayer breeze
$4 two ecotrin
-$14.99 bayer coupon
-$2.25 ecotrin printable
-$1 ecotrin coupon from 1/25 SS insert
=$0.75 plus tax out of pocket get$5 RR from Bayer and $2RR from Ecotrin

Transaction #2

$4.99 Nivea Bodywash
$2.49 Bayer Quick Release Crystals
$0.39 Hallmark Gift Wrap (This is your filler items so you can use the Bayer RR)
$0.39 Hallmark Tissue Paper (Filler so you can use the Ecotrin RR)
-$1 nivea coupon from 4/19 RP insert
-$5 Bayer RR
-$2 Ecotrin RR
– in-ad coupon to get the Hallmark gift wrap and tissue paper for $0.39 each
=$0.26 plus tax out of pocket and get $4.99 RR from Nivea and $2.49RR from Bayer

Now if you feel like going back home with items instead the $7.48 in Register Rewards you could buy:

$6 two Starbucks pints of ice cream
$1.18 two Campbells Soups
$3 Two Flipz
$3.99 Visine
$0.78 two Hallmarks gift wrap or tissue paper (or any other cheap filler you want to get)
-$2 two Starbucks coupons
-$1 One campbells coupon
-$1 One Flipz coupon from 4/5 inserts
-$3 Visine coupon from 3/15 inserts
– in-ad coupon to get the Hallmark gift wrap and tissue paper for $0.39 each
-$4.99 Nivea RR
-$2.49 Bayer Crystals RR
=$0.47 plus tax out of pocket

How cool are Register Rewards? You just bought $41.42 worth of items and only paid $1.48 plus tax out of pocket for them.  That’s a really good deal I think!  What are your plans for Walgreens this week?
