Walgreens Rules in a Nutshell: You may only do each deal once per transaction. You cannot use the RR from one deal to pay for the same deal if you want to get another RR. You may not use more manu Qs (including RRs) than the number of items in your transaction. A RR cannot pay tax and it’s value will not be reduced. For a more in depth explanation of these rules, you can read my post “How to {Read More}

Use this $.25/1 any Chapstick to get a tube for $.75 next week at Walgreens. They will be on sale 3/$3 (must buy 3). They are also part of a Buy $10, get $3 RR promo, so you could get them for as low as $.45 each if you have other items you’re buying to go along with it!

Remember to pick up some gifts for birthday parties that your {Read More}

I think she understands the basic premise of buying an item that will give her ECBs back that she can spend on other items, but she wasn’t pleased with her total OOP. I suggested several things, first being to use a Green Bag Tag every time you shop at CVS. It’s so simple and actually makes you money each time. Next I shared {Read More}
