Keep Your Money Friday

Couponing 101


Week 5: Saving at Walgreen's

Walgreen's like CVS is another great store to score free and cheap items. Since Walgreen's is in the middle of switching their rewards program I will only be doing a brief overview.

Walgreen's Easy Saver Program

The Easy Saver Program consist of two parts Easy Saver Rebates and the Easy Saver Booklet.

The Easy Saver Booklet is a monthly booklet that is put out at the beginning of each month. It is filled with Walgreen's store coupons that can be used with manufacturers coupons. You will also find the Easy Saver Rebate Form and list of monthly rebates inside.

Easy Saver Rebates are monthly items you can purchase and claim a rebate on. Some items you will receive a full rebate on or just a partial rebate. You can submit you rebate via snail mail or online on their website. Walgreen's will even add an additional 10% bonus to your rebate if you choose to have it put on a Walgreen's gift card.

Register Rewards

Register rewards are Walgreen's version of Extra Care Bucks. That print from a separate Catalina machine after your purchase. They Can be used are cash on your next purchase but some restrictions apply.

Every week Walgreen's adverises numerous register reward deals, some last all month and others just that week. Unlike CVS there is no limit to the number of RRs you can receive, but you can only get one per transaction and cannot use the same RR to pay for the same item.

For example, Skintimate is $2.99 and Get $2.99 in Register Rewards back. You buy one at $2.99 and get the $2.99 RR back, then purchase another Skintimate and use the RR from the previous transaction to pay for it. No register reward will print.

7-Day Weekly Ad Coupons

Walgeen's 7-Day Coupon is a Store coupon that can be found in the weekly ad. It is only valid for that week only. You are able to use the 7-Day Coupon in conjunction with a manufacturers coupon. Be sure to actually give the 7-day coupon to the cashier at checkout or you will end up paying full price.
