Walgreens Scenarios 3/04/12 – 3/10/12

It is a pretty good week at Walgreens.  This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Register Rewards at Walgreens. 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.

To see this week’s Walgreens Weekly Ad and Coupon Matchups, go HERE.

Transaction #1

Buy one Colgate Total Advanced Whitening, Gel or Clean Paste 4 oz, $3 (you will receive $3 RR)
Minus one $0.75/1 Colgate Toothpaste, exp. 3/17/12 (SS 02/26/12 R)
If you have RRs left over from last week use them here!
Total Spent: $2.25
Receive: $3 RR

Transaction #2

Buy one Walgreens Saline Mist 4.25 oz, $5 (you will receive $5 RR)
Minus $3 RR from Transaction #1
Total Spent: $2
Receive: $5 RR

Transaction #3

Buy two Softsoap Body Wash 15 or 18 oz, 2/$6 (you will receive $3 RR)
Buy one small filler item, $.25 (look in clearance or holiday section)
Minus two $0.50/1 Softsoap Body Wash, exp. 3/11/12 (SS 02/12/12 R)
Minus $5 RR from Transaction #2
Total Spent: $.25
Receive: $3 RR

Total Remaining RRs to apply towards next week’s ad: $3 RR
Total Out of Pocket for 2 transactions: $4.50+ applicable taxes for approximately $14.25 in products. And if you use RRs from last week in Transaction #1 you will save even more!

**Also – Don’t forget that your RRs will expire in a few weeks 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, paper towels, diapers, etc which are hard to get dirt cheap!
