**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..
I went to Walgreens today with scenerios similar to yours above. When my first order was checked out, 2 colgates and two coupons, I was expecting a register reward, but there wasn’t one. She told me that if I use coupons, I won’t get a register reward for that item!!! Was I doing something wrong?
I’m learning a lot about Walgreens. If I use a register reward for the same amount as the reward I am expecting, it may not print.
Hi Kpieczyn! Walgreens is tricky but once you master them, you can score awesome deals. The thing with their RR’s is that if you use a RR for a certain deal, you can not apply those RRs towards the same deal in a second transaction. IF you do this, new RRs won’t print out. So, if I earned $2RRs from Dove Soap, if I do a second transaction and plan on doing the Dove Soap deal again using the $2RRs from the first transaction, I will not earn $2RRs.. Does that make sense?
