Saving Experiments: can modern coupon clippers beat savers of the past?

By Julia Scott

WALGREENS TIPS
  • One thing to remember about Walgreens RR is you can not use a ”chap stick RR” to pay for another chap stick and have another RR print. BUT you can use a “toothpaste” RR to pay for chap stick and have another RR print.
  • Also remember that Walgreens has a coupon item ratio rule, you can only use as many coupons as you have items. They count RR as coupons. So if I was only buying 4 items ( all of which had manufacture coupons which meant my item coupon ratio was already 4 to 4) I wanted to pay with a RR I would need to ad a filler item something cheap like a pencil. This would then make my coupon ration 5 ( 4 manufacturer coupons and 1 register reward) and my item ratio 5. I then could pay with my coupons and RR with no problem. An in store coupon does NOT count as a coupon in this ratio….just as a sale price.
  • Also remember that only one RR per product will print per transaction. For example If wanted to buy 3 bottles of Aussie shampoo. In order to have 2 RR print for each one I had to buy them in 3 transactions. My store is happy to let me go thru the line more than once ……but some store will limit you.
  • You can not pay for sales tax with a RR

Walgreens Trip 12/9


I went to walgreens after work today, was excited to use my rr's I got the other day ($28 from sat) to get some stuff for free and to make back some rr's..

I did 3 separate transactions
but I made boo boo should've done 4 I had 4 hair products of same promo...oops

2 Conair vent brushes
2 scunchi hair accessories
1 Neutrogena face wash
1 Neutrogena face lotion
1 Biore night cream
2 bags of Bic razors 24 pack (not pictured)

I added up my 3 transactions came to $4.80 opp could have got away with using another rr to bring oop down again in a rush but hey I'm not complaining

I used $22 in rr's to pay and I got back $16 in rr's
going tomorrow to repeat this in another store and see if they have any more Biore on clearance ;)
