It’s another great 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. If you have Register Rewards to use, 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.

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..
FYI – you CANNOT use a B1G1 coupon on a B1G1 promotion at Walgreens. See below from their coupon policy. 🙂
Buy One, Get One Free Coupons
* When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.
* Sales tax must be paid for any Buy One, Get One Free coupon offers, if required by applicable state laws.
Hi Diane! The coupon policy you posted does not state you can not use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale. The policy is stating, however, that if you use two $x.xx/1 coupons, you can not receive overage.. So, you can get the items for free but not any overage. You should be able to use a BOGO coupon with a BOGO sale. I would recommend you ask customer service before you do the transaction. I find Walgreens to be “tricky” with situations like this because often store managers create their own policies.. Good luck! 🙂
I live in area code 34293. My walgreens will not let me use a manufacturer coupon and their register rewards on one product. If I am buying a $5.00 item and have a manufacturers coupon for $1.00 and have a walgreens register rewards for $2.00, they will not let me use both. The walgreens register rewards have (manufacturers coupon) printer on top of them, so they say that they cannot take two manufacturers coupon on one item. They also say they will not take two coupons, when I am buying only one item. It appears in your transactions that you are being allowed to use two. HELP
Sincerely
Helen
You have to get a cheap filler item, In order to use a RR and a manufacturer coupon. 1 coupon per item… so say you get a toothbrush for 1.99 and have a dollar coupon and want to use a dollar RR grab a folder or something to make two items so if the folder is .11 you would spend .10 plus tax out of pocket hope this helps 🙂
The expo markers coupon is still available on their facebook page. I just printed mine a few minutes ago.
Just tried the stayfree and expo deal. The monthly coupon booklets are manufacturer coupons and the stayfree are only allowed up to a 4.49 max value. So you can only use the 3 dollar off coupon or the 2/2 printable not both.
The dove deal did not work as planned for me but oh well. I was able to grab $110.69 of stuff for only $31.68!!! I still call that good shopping 🙂
Wow – Kristin – great job despite the botched Dove deal! 🙂
