Reader Rachel headed over to Walgreens where she did a great transaction scoring a profit. What I especially liked is how she used filler items and I thought this was a great example for those that are new to Walgreens shopping or simply don’t understand how it works.
The registers will only except a manufacturer coupon for each product in your cart. And, the register rewards that you receive from previous transactions are considered manufacturer coupons even though they are considered dollars off your purchase. So, if your next transaction will include a coupon for each item, as it did in Rachel’s case, and you plan on using register rewards to pay for the transaction, you need to add small filler items. Rachel choose Royal Jello which is priced at only $0.20 each. So now she has 7 items in her transaction and 7 coupons were used, including the 2 Register Rewards. If she did not have the fillers in her cart then the last 2 coupons that get scanned (and it would not matter which 2 coupons they were) will beep. Once you add 2 more products (small fillers), the coupons will go through no problem.
Here was her transaction:
(3) Alka Seltzer Fast Packs – $3.99/Each
(1) Contac Cold Day/Night – $6.00
(1) Colgate Sensitive – $3.49
(2) Royal Jello – $.20/Each (filler)
Coupons Used:
3-$3.00 Alka Seltzer
1-$2.00 Contac
1-$1.00 Colgate Sensitive
2-$3.00 Previous RR’s
Subtotal $3.86
Tax $1.89
OOP $5.75
Received $14.50 back in RR ($3.50 Colgate, $6.00 Contac, & $5.00 Alka Seltzer)
Great job Rachel! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to Kathy at 30 Dollar a Week Grocery Challenge for this weeks Food Lion match ups.
Things you should know:
- In order to maximize your savings, remember that you can combine manufacturer coupons with food lion coupons (FLIPS)!
- Only 1 FLIP (of the same kind) per transaction
- BOGO items ring up half price if you buy only 1.
- If you buy 2 BOGO items, some stores may not let you use a coupon on the item you are getting free. If this occurs, it would be cheaper for you to just buy 1 item and use 1 coupon as it will ring up half price.
- Make sure to check out the Food Lion store information

Sometimes people ask if it’s worth signing up for all these freebies and coupons. Well, sometimes you get more then you thought. When Maria signed up for the Annie’s Free Picnic Guide that I posted back in February, she wound up with an entire case of Annies Mac & Cheese. What do ya think of that? Here is what Maria said.
Cindy:
Back in February you posted a Free Picnic Guide and $15 worth of coupon offer from Annie’s. I participated and must have also joined
their Expert Panel.
About a month ago I received this email below. I love to give my opinions and was a little wary about receiving the case of mac and cheese they mentioned. I filled out the survey and today UPS delivered the box of 12 Annie’s Mac and Cheese. It was a nice surprise. Thank you for your postings, you will never know how much you have helped me through a really rough time in my life.
Here is the email I receive:
Thank you for agreeing to participate in surveys about the Annie’s brand. We are delighted to have you on our “Expert Panel.”
We would love your participation in a survey designed help us better understand the needs and preferences of our customers, including your opinion about some of our competitors. This survey is longer and more detailed than our typical survey; we estimate that it will take about
30-40 minutes to complete.
To show our appreciation, if you complete the survey, we will send you a FREE case of Annie’s mac ‘n’ cheese. You will also be entered automatically into a drawing for ONE of FOUR $50 Amazon.com gift certificates.
So, look at that. You just never know. I know I was surprised to receive a sleeve of Green Mountain K Cups and a travel mug when I signed up for that freebie. Have you been surprised by the freebies or coupons you received?
(Thanks for sharing Maria!)
