Here is my scenario for someone with NO Register Rewards. You’d spend $8.18 out of pocket (OOP), get $48.68 in merchandise, and end up with $8 in Register Rewards!
Another way to look at it is you’ll start with an investment of $8.18. You’ll end up with $8 back in Register Rewards so basically you are getting just under $48+ in merchandise for $.18 plus tax!
I highlighted the MQ (that count in your coupon total) in blue and those that don’t in red.

OOHHHH! I hope I get it! Thanks Ana!
I was selling some clothes and stuff at the flea market today and just on my row of 100 tables I saw 2 people selling coupon/freebie items! I couldn’t believe it! I guess those are the people that clear the shelves!
How does this work because I thought the number of coupons including register rewards cannot exceed the number of products that you are buying?
You are correct, however Walgreens coupons don’t count, only Manufacturer coupons. I put the MQ in blue (those that count in your coupon total) and the store coupons in red (those don’t). Hope that helps!
Sara, that sucks about people doing that! IMO those are the people giving couponers a bad name!
