Save This Week With Rewards and Ecoupons

Well, mostly.  Walgreens and CVS both have deals where you buy items and they give you a coupon for the same amount you just spent.  You can turn around and use that coupon on a 2nd transaction.

Walgreens:  I purchased some Fish Oil Vitamins for $10 that are regularly $24.  I used a coupon I printed off today from the internet for -$2.   When you buy that particular item, as stated in the ad, you will get $10 in Walgreens Register Rewards bucks.  That means the item cost me $8, and I turned around and bought cat litter and shampoo with the $10 Walgreens Reward bucks (obviously two items we needed).  To save even more on that 2nd purchase, I used a cat litter coupon from the internet.  So because I bought something I wasn't planning on buying, I got what I needed to buy for free.  Also, I scored some high quality fish oil vitamins which is a supplement we already take.

EXAMPLE 1st transaction:

• Fish Oil Vitamins  $24, On sale $10, Earn $10 in Walgreens Register Rewards, Use:

         $2 off 1   Renew Life Omega Smart  Fish Oils        www.omegasmartfishoils.com

• SoBe Water        $.99,  Earn $.99 in Walgreens Register Rewards...limit 2 so buy 2!!! 

2nd transaction: Buy whatever you really need using the $12 in Walgreens Register Rewards bucks.  There is one condition...you can't use more coupons/register rewards buck than items you buy.  For instance, you can't buy a $12 item and expect to use two different Register Rewards bucks (like listed above).  To get around this, they ususally sell single caramels at the register for  $.33 each so pick up a couple of those depending on the number of coupons you need.  Don't have coupons for what you need to buy?  Go to thekrazycouponlady.com and click on the Print Coupons link.  Use your browser's find tool to search for key words because it's a loooooong list.  That's how I found the cat litter coupon I needed.

If you've seen my binder, you are probably guessing I used my coupons.  Well, I did and I bought a little more than what was stated above.  My first transaction was $17 and I earned $15 immediately in Walgreens Register Rewards bucks.  Then my 2nd transaction's items totaled $15 dollars so I instantly used those Walgreens Register Rewards bucks I just got in addition to -$8 in newspaper coupons.  I did have to buy one more item since I had more coupons than items (awesome) so Army got some M&M's.  I ended up paying $1.   I approximate that I walked out the door with $45 in products (2 packs of Soleil razors, cat litter, medicated shampoo, Fish Oil vitamins, 4 toothbrushes, 2 SoBe drinks)  for only $18.    

I look at it as, I would have spent the $15 anyways.  Why not take advantage of their deals and get the register rewards bucks.  I will gladly spend my money at your store to get free stuff.   

Funny~they do have a deal on a women's soy estrogen supplement where you buy the item an instantly get what you paid for back in Walgreens Rewards Bucks, but I didn't want to jinx myself into early menopause.  lol
