Walgreens help!

I love Register Rewards
Let me tell you why!


This cutie has been shopping at Walgreen's' for a little while and I have saved so much money and created a cute little stockpile!

What are Register Rewards ?(also known as RRs)
RRs are coupons from the Catalina/ coupon machine that print after you make a purchase that qualifies. (don't know which ones qualify? I'll help you, and check your Walgreens weekly paper. Most RRs are "On Your Next Order" (OYNO) which can be used like cash on your next order. (Sometimes you may receive a Catalina for $ off a particular item or an advertisement for an rr deal.) It is important to note that you CANNOT USE THE REGISTER REWARD YOU GOT FROM PURCHASING ONE PRODUCT TO BUY THAT SAME KIND OF PRODUCT. DOING THAT WILL STOP YOUR RR COUPON FROM PRINTING AT THE END OF YOUR PURCHASE. I keep them all seperate. For example, One week I will buy shaving cream and get rrs, the next week i will use those rr to buy a differnt product. This is called ROLLIng your register rewards.

Where are the RRS?
the weekly sales paper will tell you what products to but to get the RRs
I will be posting weekly deals to get you started.

If you complete more than one register rewards deal in one transaction, one reward for each
different RR deal should print. but you will not receive more than one RR for the same deal.
for example if youwant to buy the shaving cream and get RRs, you should only buy 1 shaving cream at a time. you will only get 1 register reward per qualifying product in each trans.
(If you buy 2 shaving creams in one trans you will only get 1 rr)


What do I do with the RR?

generally, you can use your RR like cash on your next purchase.
Most RRs (just like ECBs) explicitly say that they can not be used on tobacco, alcohol, tax, lottery tickets, money orders, stamps, dairy, or any gift cards or pre-paid cards. however, some stores still allow RR's to be used on some of these items, so ymmv. (your manager may vary)

The RR's also say in the small print that you cannot use more RRs and coupons than number of items you are buying. so as long as you are buying as many items as you have rr & coupons, you should be able to use more than one rr.

You cannot "roll" RR's into the same deal. for example, if you use an RR from dove to purchase more dove items, you will NOT get another RR. the best way to "roll" is to use your dove RR to complete another rr deal. You can then use the RRs from the 2nd deal, to purchase more dove.

RR issues
You can always talk to the manager
always always check your register rewards and receipt to make sure that you are getting what you are supposed to.
if you purchased the right items and didn't get RR, you can return the items on the spot or call the Catalina company @ 888-322-3814. have your receipt in front of you!


ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have a plan when you shop
DO NOT DEVIATE !
THIS ADVICE WILL SAVE YOU ALOT OF MONEY!
