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.

what is the purpose of the filler items?
Trish says
Walgreens allows 1 coupon/item. Since we are using more than one coupon, we need filler items to even out the amount of coupons.
