When shopping at Walgreens, you are not allowed to have more coupons than items. So you will see on blogs and websites, scenarios which include filler items. Filler items are low cost items (.10-.50 cents) that allow you to use all of your register rewards and coupons to pay for your items.
Also, when shopping Walgreens, if you purchased something that printed RR and you use those RR to purchase the same item again, it will not print RR a second time. You can however, purchase something else that prints RR, then go back and buy the first item again and pay for it with RR and they will print again.

1. Always pick up the monthly Walgreens Coupon booklet at the store. These are usually found when you walk in and at the end of some isles.
2. Always hand the coupons to the cashier in this order to get the most bang for your buck. Give them $/$$ first, then RR’s, Manufacturer coupons next, then any Walgreens coupons.
3. Most RR are good for 2-3 weeks, but if you are not planning on using them right away, check the expiration dates, because some expire sooner than others
*4. When shopping Walgreens, there are a few things that I do not have time to cover in class:
    a.  If using a P&G coupon for the same value as the Register Reward that is suppose to print, sometimes the RR will not print. (the coding on the coupon makes the register think you already got a reward for the item. The same thing will happen if you do back to back transactions for the same item and pay for the second item with the register reward that printed from the first item.  The second RR will not print)
    b.  Also,  If you use a RR to pay for a PG item that actually printed from purchasing another PG item, the next RR will probably not print.
    c.  I set up my scenarios on the website to avoid the above instances, but if you make your own scenarios, you will want to keep this in mind.

As a customer-focused retailer, Walgreens encourages the use of coupons by our customers in our retail stores, in accordance with the following guidelines.

Guidelines:

General
All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier at the time of checkout.
Walgreens does not accept expired coupons.
Coupons and their face value cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards.
Competitor coupons are not accepted at Walgreens.
Walgreens cannot accept coupons for items not carried in our stores.
The number of manufacturer coupons, including Register RewardsTM manufacturer coupons, may not exceed the number of items in the transaction. The total value of the coupons may not exceed the value of the transaction. Sales tax must be paid, if required by state law.
Any coupon offer not covered in these guidelines will be accepted at the discretion of Walgreens management.

Sale Items
Walgreens will accept manufacturer coupons for an item that is on sale.
In the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Walgreens will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons.

Multiple Coupons
When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer.
The coupon amount must be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. (For example, a $5.00 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value).
When purchasing multiple items, Walgreens accepts multiple identical coupons for multiple qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers, unless a limit is specified. Management reserves the right to limit the quantity of items purchased.

Buy One, Get One Free Coupons
When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.
Sales tax must be paid for any Buy One, Get One Free coupon offers, if required by applicable state laws.
