We mainly use Register Rewards in combination with coupons to be able to get great deals on diapers. With two in diapers it's essential that we not spend a ton on diapers if we can help it. Here's how I do it:
This week I had $5 in Register Rewards lefover from last week's transactions added into this transaction.
-Lysol toilet bowl cleaner - buy one get one free for $2.99 (plus a coupon for $1.00 off when you buy two)
-Venus razor system -$8.99 then $3 in Register Rewards (plus a coupon for $2 off)
-Duracell batteries - $5.99 plus $1 in Register Rewards (plus a coupon for $0.75)
Total: $10.84 with $4 in Register Rewards on our next transaction
Onto the next transaction:
We then took our $4 in Register Rewards and applied it to:
-Pampers - 10.49 (plus a coupon for $1.50 off)
-I also had a coupon for "buy any Pampers, get a Pampers wipe FREE!!" so the wipes were free
-Total $8.91 for 2 packs of gum, Pampers, and Pampers wipes.
One important thing to remember is if you are laying down what I call "pieces of paper" you have to have at least that many items . For example, we had 2 separate Register Rewards coupons, plus 2 different Pampers coupons, so we had to make sure we checked out at least that many items. A lot of times I'll add in paper clips or a pack of gum to have enough items for how many "pieces of paper" I'm presenting the clerk with. I hope that's not too confusing! I get so confused half the time when I do this! On this transaction I added in two packs of gum for Jordan to make it 4 items that we were checking out! After our transaction the computer printed out a $1 off Pampers coupon for me to use next time, so that was a plus!
A lot of weeks it's not really worth it, but then some weeks they really have some good deals that work for us. One thing that helps us a lot is that my grandfather faithfully sends me all of the coupons from Sunday's paper every week. This helps so much because he gets multiple papers, so a lot of time I get multiple coupons and I can do the same transaction twice to get a great deal plus more register rewards!
Have a happy weekend! I hope I've inspired you to pick up a Walgreens ad on Sunday!

Great job MA!! I think I received some Pampers coupons when I checked out. We use Huggies so if I still have them I will bring them to church tomorrow for you!
Hi there, coming over from Jenna's Journey.
I like a good bargain like the rest of them, however, Walgreens has always intimated me, but I might give it another try. :)
Your little boys are precious. I recognize the Square, I live in B'ville too. :)
Oh, and those Arkansas cookies are too cute! How fun!
