Here are the scenarios for this week’s Walgreens Ad. 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!
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..
Has anyone had any luck with snickers eggs? I tried the snickers eggs deal today and cashier called mgr. Mgr said “no its only for the bags”
I tried to expalin politely the were no size restrictions but she wouldn’t budge. So frusterating…Did I just get the wrong cashier? Should I try another Wags?
Hi Heather, if you used the RP insert coupon listed above, it specifically includeds the single snickers egg. The size is listed and included. If that’s the one you used, I would try again. They may adjust the price to make it free not giving you the overage but you shouldn’t have to pay for it! Sorry to hear you had some trouble using it. If it is the printable you were using, it is not specific so they could deny it if they wanted. The Walgreens near me doesn’t even like accepting printables at all anymore. It gets frustrating! Let me know if you have better luck again before Saturday…or save your coupon and use it at Publix. They are 2/$1 and you can get them free there without a problem.
