Below are new Walgreens scenarios. 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.

Transaction #1
Buy two Quaker Instant Oatmeal, $5.00 (will receive $2 RR)
Buy one Natrol Meltonin Time Release 5MG Tablets 100’s, $3 (will receive $3 RR) important – this is on sale 12/1-12/4

Use one register reward up to $4.00 here if you have one from last week to save more – if you do use a RR and the manufacturer coupons listed, you will need to buy one cheap filler item – look for an item $0.20 or less
Total Due: $4.00 (if you do not use any RRs)
Receive: $2 RR, $3 RR
Transaction #2
Buy one Salonpas Pain Relief Patch 5’s 5.99 (will receive $5.99 RRs)

Use $2 RR and $3 RR from Transaction #1
Total Due: $1.19

Transaction #3
Buy one Gillette Fusion Proglide Razor, $9.99 (will receive $4 RR)
Buy one filler item, $0.20
Use one $4.00/1 Gillette Fusion Proglide Manual or power razor PG Insert 11/28/2010
Use $5.99 RR from Transaction #2
Total Due: $0.20

Total Out of Pocket for all 3 transactions: $5.39 + applicable taxes
Product Worth: $24.38 + tax and you will still have $4 worth of RRs to use next time!
**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..
because I didn’t have the $2/1 coupon from the paper, I googled “Natrol product coupon” and the first thing that came up was a pdf download of three printable coupons for $3/1 natrol product which makes it free!
If you go to this link you can print out a coupon for December 1st, to save 15 percent off, and 20 percent off Walgreen items too.

Natrol coupon from last reviewer can not be found.Main site says no promotion another says site is no longer available
$3/1 Natrol http://www.twlakes.net/~tncm/natrol.pdf
Hello everyone… Today at the Walgreens on the corner of Ulmerton Rd and Seminole Blv I was told that I could not use all the coupons I had because I’m only allowed ONE COUPON PER ITEM.
This is what I had:
4 x printed RR’s totaling $7
1 x 99c cpn for Dawn from the Walgreen weekly add.
1 x 99c cpn for candy canes from W/green weekly add.
1 x BOGO cpn for 3M product from weekly add.
5 x man cpn for Scotch tape and 3M products.
1 x man cpn for Huggies wipes.
I was handed back 4 coupons as the RRs were considered coupons and had to pay $4 more than I planned.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does RR count as coupons now and are in-add coupons not stackable with man coupons anymore? The lady said it was new “this week” and she does not want to get in trouble.
Over enthusiastic cashier or new rules? Does anyone know?
