Here is my scenario for someone WITH Register Rewards. In this scenario you’d start off with $24 in RR, you’ll spend $.54 out of pocket (OOP) and get $42.30 in merchandise. You’ll end up with $22 in Register Rewards, so you are basically paying $2.54 for everything or 94% off!
You can either use my scenarios exactly how they are, or you can use them as inspiration for your own. I recommend that you bring a couple of extra fillers, like the Royal Gelatin to the register just in case you need them!

Excellent!!, I am saving a lot of money with your help.
Thanks a lot!!
Just an FYI – The Airplus Ultra Mosturizing Socks aren’t printing out an RR. The manager at one of the stores I went to said that it is an error and hopefully they will have it fixed by this afternoon!!
Alright- me again, I have another question. Went to Walgreens again today because hubby “needed” some stuff. They had Sauve shampoo for $1 with a $3 RR. When I bought it I didn’t get the RR. Hubby was in a big hurry to get home so just left and thought I would mess with it later. Do you know whether there is a RR for this and if I should try to take it back and get a RR or if I just misread the sign. Thanks for all your help! I love your site. It is very helpful for people like me! 🙂 Thank you also for responding back to my last question so quickly!
Is other people having issues with the MQ Reach coupons that you print out? Every store we go to, they have to “force” them through. Also, doesn’t seem like some stores like us using 2 (MQ) of the coupons on the same order. (“1 coupon per purchase.”)
I didn’t have any problems with my Reach IPs. You should be able to use as many “One per purchase” Q’s as you have items. The only time I’ve ever heard of a problem is when there is a B1G1 Free (some stores won’t take a Q on the “free” item).
If a coupon states “One per transaction”, then you can only use one. HTH
Still having issues at every store I go to with them.. They ring the coupon, it beeps and then look at me like I’m trying to pull a fast one. “Did you buy this product??” I point down in the bag at the reach toothbrush and shrug. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long week at this rate.
