Walgreens Scenarios
Wow! How does she do it? Check out Commonsensewithmoney's scenarios for this weeks RRs. This is exactly how you roll a deal. Click here to find out.
Rolling With Walgreens' Punches
Well it's official. Walgreens will no longer have their Easy Saver Rebate program, not even the coupons that come in the booklet. I hope you got to take advantage of it while it lasted. I know I received many great free items this way and will be sad to see it go. I especially liked having the money put on my Walgreens' gift card so I wasn't spending money directly out of pocket when shopping there.
So our new key word when discussing Walgreens will be "Rolling". This is a common term in the couponing world. It means using the one deal to purchase the same deal or another deal and to do that over and over again. Walgreens will be focusing more on their Register Rewards (RR) program which I explained in my post here. When you roll RRs you use RRs that you have earned to buy another RR product to earn back RRs that you just used to purchase that item. Basically, you want to receive RRs every time you use RRs to pay for an item therefore spending as little money out of pocket.
Here are the RR deals for this week thanks to Common Sense With Money. To see a complete list of Walgreens deals visit Common Sense With Money here. She also has a summary of what's to come with the loss of Easy Saver including a possible new free after rebate program.

Register Rewards and Easy Saver
Well sadly Walgreens will be doing away with their Easy Saver program which offered such great rebates. There's no word yet on what they will be replacing it with, if any. So here's a quick run down on how to use the Easy Saver program for this one last month. Also, a quick tutorial on Register Rewards (RR) that will probably become the greatest way to save money in the future at Walgreens. Hope it's helpful.
Register Rewards: When you buy a certain product or a certain number of products you receive register rewards. Each week the register rewards are listed in the ad. Register Rewards look just like the coupons you get below your receipt at Dilons. You have to hold on to them and spend them on your next purchase like a gift card. However you don't get any money back and you have to spend the whole amount when you use it. Also be careful because they expire in two weeks or so. Don't forget about them.
People often refer to "rolling" RRs. This means they use RR to buy other items to gain more RRs. This helps you buy as much as possible without spending actual money out of pocket. However, you usually cannot buy the same item with the RR that it produced and still receive more RRs. For example: In my post below I mentioned toothpaste and chapstick are both free after RR. You could buy the chapstick in one transaction and then use the $2 RR towards purchasing the toothpaste in the next transaction. This way you spend less money out of pocket and you aren't holding so many RR that may expire quickly. However, you could not use the RR from the chapstick to buy another chapstick. It would purchase the chapstick, but not print out another RR for the chapstick just purchased.
Free After Rebate: Purchase the item. Using a coupon and getting the rebate will actually earn you money! The best way to track them is online. Go to the Easy Saver area on their site (log in first) and click on Claim Rebate. Follow the instructions by checking the items then go to the next screen and enter in the long code found on the top of your receipt. The code is in their main system with all you purchased and is proof that you bought the item and can get the rebate. You should hold on to your receipt in case of a problem, but I've never had trouble. Sometimes you can use that receipt for the manufactures rebate and get your money back twice (this doesn't happen too often). Always hit the Save and Return Later button so you can keep adding through out the month. Once you completely claim your rebates (a box will pop up and remind you of this when you do claim them) you can not claim any more that month so just save them and claim them at the end of the month. You can ask for them to send you a check or a gift card. I do the gift card and have them reload it each month with my total. It only takes a couple days (compared to a couple weeks for the check) and you get an extra 10% added on for choosing the gift card (the first time you claim the gift card it can take up to 3 weeks for them to send it, just be patient).
You can use the booklet and track it and mail it in, but you have to keep all your receipts and circle stuff and track stuff and it seems like such a hassle!

The Bad News With No Good News To Report
The bad news...Walgreens will be canceling their Easy Saver Rebate program after this month. The lack of good news...there is no announced program yet of what they will be replacing it with if any at all. I hope many of you were able to take advantage of the rebate program in the past. I know I received many great free products from this program and am very sad to see it go. However, Walgreens is very aware of all of us loyal couponers and we will not be forgotten. Their stocks have reportedly gone way up since their beginning of their coupon/rebate programs several years ago. I looking forward to what's to come and hoping for something great. I'm also going to become an avid Register Rewardian (I know it's not a word) and see how far I can get with those in the future.
