Here is a scenario I put together for Black Friday at Walgreens. Remember these deals are good 11/24/11 thru 11/26/11! This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Register Rewards at Walgreens. If you have Register Rewards to use from last week, that will give you more options. 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!
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..
In the second transaction it says “Minus two $1/1 Speed Stick or Lady Speed Stick Deodorant 10/30/2011 SS Insert (exp 11/19/2011)” But you do not buy any speed stick in that transaction. Was it a typo or just forgot to put the buy Speed Stick part in?
Thanks Lisa, yes, it was a typo. I fixed it. Thank you for the heads up 🙂 So glad you caught that early!
Do you know when the sales start? do they start a midnight on thursday or should i just call my store to make sure?
It seems that any time I try to use a coupon at Walgreens for an item that has a register reward I find that the register reward then doesn’t print. Do you know what their “policy” is on using coupons for sale items with register rewards?
i thought thermacare advil and prep h were from the same manufacturer so you couldnt roll these rrs?? crest and oral b also?
