This week at Walgreens, there are quite a few good deals and FREEbies. I have chosen not to include the whole match-up this week due to time restrictions. You can view the entire match-up at We Use Coupons (it is the 2nd thread down from the top — there is a dancing sun that says “hot”).

In order to make this work, you will have to ring each product in a separate transaction. Since you cannot use a RR from a product on the same product (in a separate transaction) and still receive a new RR, we are going to “roll” the RR between two products this week.

{Transaction #1}
Buy (1) Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm – $2, get $2 RR

…Pay $2 OOP for this product and get a RR for $2 off your next purchase.

{Transaction #2}
Buy (1) package of Walgreen’sPerfect Tampons – $1.99, get $2 RR
–Use $2 RR from transaction #1
…$0 OOP (+ tax)

After completing transactions #1 and 2, you can continue to “roll” this $2 RR. You will repeat transaction #1 again (using the RR from transaction #2) and so on and so forth.

I would recommend printing out the Walgreen’s coupon policy just in case your cashier gives you a hard time using a $2 RR on a $1.99 product. According to the new policy, the coupon should be entered into the register for $1.99 if it doesn’t go automatically.

–Use (3) $3/1 John Frieda Root Awakening Products coupons (8/22 SS) ($9 off)
–Get $5 RR ($5 off)
…$1 for (3) John Frieda products after coupons and RR (or $.33 each)

Buying Coupons - You can buy (20) of these on eBay for around $2.50. That means your products will equate to $.45 each.

I am so excited about this. It can often be very frustrating for someone who uses coupons to shot at Walgreen’s because the old policy was up to the discretion of each store manager. Many times customers were turned away.

Not only does Walgreen’s have a new policy but they actually address the major concerns of those of us who use coupons a lot.

I am going to re-post the policy below. You can view the actual policy here. If you use coupons a lot at Walgreen’s, I would HIGHLY recommend printing out the policy and taking it to the store with you. If you decide to print, please print from the actual Walgreen’s page.

I highlighted the most important (the problem areas for couponers) areas in red.

As a customer-focused retailer, Walgreens encourages the use of coupons by our customers in our retail stores, in accordance with the following guidelines.

Guidelines:

General

  • All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier at the time of checkout.
  • Walgreens does not accept expired coupons.
  • Coupons and their face value cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards.
  • Competitor coupons are not accepted at Walgreens.
  • Walgreens cannot accept coupons for items not carried in our stores.
  • The number of manufacturer coupons, including Register RewardsTM manufacturer coupons, may not exceed the number of items in the transaction. The total value of the coupons may not exceed the value of the transaction. Sales tax must be paid, if required by state law.
  • Any coupon offer not covered in these guidelines will be accepted at the discretion of Walgreens management.

Sale Items

  • Walgreens will accept manufacturer coupons for an item that is on sale.
  • In the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Walgreens will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons.

Multiple Coupons

  • When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer.
  • The coupon amount must be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. (For example, a $5.00 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value).
  • When purchasing multiple items, Walgreens accepts multiple identical coupons for multiple qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers, unless a limit is specified. Management reserves the right to limit the quantity of items purchased.

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.

Internet/Print at Home Coupons

  • Walgreens accepts valid internet/print at home coupons.

Register RewardsTM coupons

Earning Register RewardsTM

  • Register RewardsTM will only print for in-stock merchandise during the promotional period.
  • Register RewardsTM can only be earned for eligible items. No substitutions.
  • There is a limit of one Register RewardsTM (RR) printed per offer per customer per transaction.
  • Customers redeeming a Register RewardsTM against the same offer may not receive another RR.

Redeeming Register RewardsTM

  • Customers redeeming a Register RewardsTM against the same offer may not receive another RR.
  • Refer to Register RewardsTM coupon for expiration date.
  • The RR coupon value cannot exceed the total purchase amount. No cash back and no cash value for RR coupon.
  • The number of manufacturer coupons, including RR manufacturer coupons, must not exceed the number of items in the transaction.
  • Register RewardsTM must be forfeited if the qualifying merchandise is returned.
  • Register RewardsTM cannot be used toward the purchase of gift cards and pre-paid cards.
  • Register RewardsTM can be redeemed for eligible items only. Ineligible items include but are not limited to:
    • Prescriptions
