Here’s my Walgreens Shopping Scenario for 8/5. In this scenario you’ll get $34.16 in merchandise, you’ll pay $10.66 out of pocket and end up with $6.99 in Register Rewards. So it’s like you are getting everything for $3.67 or about 91% OFF.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THESE TRANSACTIONS
-) You can’t have more MQ than items! Blue = MQ
-) You don’t have to do these in one day, just pick up where you left off.

The boxtops4education.com site has chex mix coupon that is for 60 cents off instead of 50. It has lots of other general mills coupons also that are all 10 cents more than anywhere else. Thank u. I love Ur site. Very helpful!
Love ur site thanks for the hard work u put into it
Where do you change the zip code on the new coupons.com site? They just changed it recently and I liked that just fine. I do not like the new set-up this time around.
Found it! you have to click local coupons tab to change it.
Thanks. I had same question.
Just had to tell you that I love your screen name. 🙂
Are y’all talking about the iPhone app? I still can’t find how to change it since the new update.
If I have a coupon that is worth more than the product, will the register at Walgreens automatically adjust the coupon value to that of the item or do I have to let the cashier know before they scan it so that they can adjust the value manually?
If the coupon is more than the price of the product, the register will take off the entire value of the coupon, unless it cuts into the tax. If the total before tax is more than all your coupons together, then you do not need to worry about lowering the value of the coupon, unless you want to. Wags will be reimbursed for the face value of the coupon anyway.
Am I able to price-match the BIC pens at Walmart?
It was such a mess when I went to Walmart today that I couldn’t tell if Walmart carries the same pens. I will check again later in the week..
You can price match them at Walmart.
However, you most likely will have to get the pens pictured in the Walgreens ad (multi colored pack) even though the blue and black ones are part of the sale too. My Walmart requires the product to match the ad exactly.
since you have to use an in-ad coupon, it might be tricky, they will say that the in-ad coupon is already a coupon and will not take your coupon because they do not take 2 coupons. they usually cut out in-ad coupons. Try Target
