Walgreen Deals 101

Walgreens can be a little tricky and I actually find it more frustrating than CVS (contrary to some other money savers). Wagbucks are a lot like CVS ECB: they can be redeemed like cash on the next purchase and can earn you free items (: ! Here is the fine print on wagbucks

* Your subtotal (before tax) must be OVER the amount of wagbucks you're spending
* The number of coupons (wagbucks, mfr coupons, wag coupons) must not exceed the number of items you are purchasing.

So how can we solve some of these issues? The best technique I have is grabbing clearance candy ($0.20 - $0.50) as a filler. It's the cheapest stuff I've seen in Walgreens and it can help boost your subtotal without making it too much higher.

Also
* You cannot use wagbucks to purchase something from the same manufacturer and expect to get more Wagbucks. Basically wagbucks usually have "compliments of [insert company name]" This is to prevent people from just buying the free good and rebuying the same thing with wagbucks. So switch it up and you'll be good.

Best order to give coupons/wagbucks

- Wagbucks
- MFR Coupons
- Wag Coupons

This gives you the least issues.
