Below are two new Walgreens scenarios. The first is a beginner scenario that has you spending a little less than $6.00 on $16.00 worth of products. The advanced scenario has you spending about $9.31 on $46.00 worth of products. 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.

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’m a little confused about walgreens. If you use a coupon like the panteen $2/3 can you use RR also? I thought you would have to buy a filler item? Is it because your buying 2 panteens and only using 1 coupon so you can use RR since it would be 2 products?
Oops meant $3/2 coupon above.
