Shopping at Walgreens

Walgreens gives Register Rewards (RR). These are printed after the transaction is completed. These are like cash, that can only be used at Walgreens. Example: Organix hair care is on sale 2/$12. When you buy 2, the register will print a $5 RR. That is like paying 2/$7. If you have a manufacturer (mfr) coupons, you can add them to the transaction. Say you had (2) $1 off coupons. Add them to the transaction, and you have taken $2 more dollars off. When all is said and done, you have spent $10 out of pocket (oop), and you have $5 to spend on your next transaction. Example 2: Walgreens ad has a coupon for dove soap, for 99c. I have a coupon for '$1 off the purchase of any dove product'. So, I would use that, with the Walgreens ad coupon, and get the soap for free.
The tricky part about the RR, is you cannot use them to get more RR. Say you bought the Organix hair care products, and got your $5 RR. If you use the RR to pay for it, the system will not print another RR. You can, however use them on other items. Lately, since we are expecting another grandbaby, I wait for sales and coupons on diapers, and use my RR to stockpile diapers and wipes.
