Here’s my Walgreens Shopping Scenario for the week of 2/24. In this scenario you’ll get $32.49 in merchandise, you’ll pay $10.99 out of pocket (or less if you use a Register Reward from last week to pay and add a filler) and end up with $11 in Register Rewards.
So it’s like getting everything for FREE! 🙂
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.
-) I always bring some extra fillers with me to the register, in case of an emergency!

What is a “FILLER?” Please & Thank you!! 🙂
There is a dollar coupon on the box of Energize, so make sure that you open and use for your second buy of the Energize.

I shopped last night and again this morning. Last night I bought all of the RR deals and it printed out a $2 off $10 coupon. I used it on my second transaction and it printed a $5 off of $20! I went in this morning and got $20 worth in my first transaction and it printed another $5 off of $20! I also used that on my second transaction and again it printed another $5 off of $20! But beware, none of these that printed scanned and had to be put in manually. Also the energize, has a $1 coupon inside the box to make it a money maker!!!
My store didn’t even have the energizer in stock.
Angelina, a filler is a small item you have to buy either:
1. To make your purchase go over the amount of your register reward. If your pre-tax total is 9.99, for example, you can’t use a 10.00 register reward. Even a penny will throw it off.
2. In Walgreens you have to have one item for each manufacturer’s coupons (but not Walgreens coupons). A register reward is considered a manufacturer coupon. So if everything you’re buying has a manufacturer coupon, you have to buy at least one item that doesn’t in order to also use your RR.
The filler thing is one reason I actually prefer CVS, because there you can use all kinds of coupons without such restrictions. But I do go to both stores.
Will the natrol melatonin coupon in the vitamins and supplement work on this product? Are they the same thing???
I shopped at two stores today and both had all the RR items. Got some kids Colgate Watermelon flavor (bottle not tube) on the RR deal. The sign was also below the 1D labeled ones but it rang up $3.97 and no RR. Snarky assistant manager tried to tell me it didn’t print because I used a mfg coupon – then he rang it up without coupon and still no RR. No apology but he did print out a $3 RR for me.
$2/$10 and $5/$20 off coupons didn’t scan at that store but did at the second one I went too. Maybe it was still uploading to computers earlier.
