Walgreens Scenarios

As you've probably figured out, you've got to be careful at Walgreens to order your transactions correctly to take advantage of all the best deals. Here's a peek at an example of how to make Walgreens scenarios work for you.

(Note, this is not an actual scenario for a current sale ~ you can find those HERE.)

Transaction #1

Buy 2 Crest Moutnwash $4 (your total for both will be $8), earn $5 in Register Rewards when you buy 2 Crest products

Total before coupons and Register Rewards = $8

• Use (2) $1/1 Crest Mouthwash coupons
• Pay $6 out of pocket
• Get back $5 in Register Rewards to use towards your next purchase

Transaction #2

Buy 1 Colgate Toothbrush $2.99, Earn 2,000 in Balance Rewards Points (like $2)

Buy 1 Softsoap Body Wash $2.99, Earn 1,000 in Balance Rewards Points (like $1)

Buy 1 clearance candy $.25 (*filler item*)

Total before coupons and Register Rewards = $6.23

• Use $.50/1 Colgate toothbrush coupon
• Also use $.50/1 Softsoap Body Wash coupon
• Also use $5 in Register Rewards from Transaction #1
• Pay $.23 out of pocket
• Get back 3,000 Balance Rewards Points to use towards your next purchase

Transaction #3

Buy 2 Speedstick Gear Deodorants 2/$8, Earn $2 in Register Rewards when you buy 2 Speedstick products

Total = $5

• Use (2) $2/1 Speedstick Gear Deodorant coupons
• Pay $1 out of pocket
• Get back $2 in Register Rewards to use on a future shopping trip (AND you'll have 3,000 in Balance Rewards Points from Transaction #2 as well ~ remember you can't redeem these though until you've earned 5,0000 in Balance Rewards points.)
