It’s another 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. 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.

**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..
Unfortunately, my Walgreens informed me the computer will not give RR for my qualifying purchases if I am using RR in the same transaction. They cancel each other out. He said it prevents people from “rolling” orders over without paying for anything. However, he was nice enough to manually re-ring up my order to receive my RR. Just an fyi.
there is a secret behind that the register will only not give register rewards on a purchase if you are using a reward from the same type of purchase another words if you are using a reward from a colgate purchase on a colgate purchase you will not get the new reward however if you use s reward from a dove purchase on a colgate purchase you will then recieve the new colgate rewards..all rewards tellyou who they came from so use them with care and they will work with maximum benefit to you
I no longer shop at Walgreens because the RR’s are a scam. If you buy two products and use 2 coupons, it will not allow you to use the RR’s because there a more coupons than products. I gave up.
Today at wags buy 3 single dove bars,.99c w/inad Q and it is printin’ $6 rr.Hurry I’m sure it will end today.Awesome ,luuuuuv wags!!!!!!!!!
