This week’s scenario includes three transactions, but the possibilities are numerous. There really are some great freebies this week and I just don’t want to miss a thing! I am personally looking forward to the FREE Baby Magic this week. I have a few showers to attend in the next couple of months and baby wash is always a nice addition to a bag of baby goodies. I think there really is something for everyone in this week’s ad, so don’t miss out! This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Register Rewards at Walgreens. Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your RRs from one week to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

**Don’t forget that Register Rewards expire very quickly and if you let them expire, you are basically throwing away money. If you are concerned you will let them expire, I would put your RRs towards paper products like toilet paper and paper towels which are hard to get dirt cheap! If you happen to need diapers you could use those RRs towards Huggies to earn $2 RR more. Just make sure you have the same number of items as you do coupons or the computer will not accept them all! Cheap filler items can be found in the Easter/Spring section or in the clearance section.
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
I found two great deals at Walgreens today. Venus razor is $7.99 with $4 RR, and PG 2/27 insert has a $5/1 coupon. It is a $1 moneymaker! Gillette ProGlide razor is $9.99 with $4 RR, and PG 2/27 insert has $4/1 coupon. It is $1.99 after discounts and rewards.
Today is my first day of couponing and I am hooked!!
