2. the easysaver catalog is a small booklet found inside the store near the weekly ads or you can also view it online. it is full of coupons good only at walgreens and a variety of monthly rebates you can send in for (either online or by mail).
3. register rewards print on a "special register" and look like a long, skinny coupon.
4. register rewards are essentially like gift cards. they are good for the dollar amount shown on your next purchase.
5. you get register rewards by buying items that are advertised as having "register rewards good on next purchase" in the weekly flyer.
- for example, some toothpaste might cost $3.49 and is advertised as giving $3,49 in register rewards. this means you will pay $3.49 upfront and a catalina coupon for $3.49 off of your next purchase will print. essentially, this item is FREE if you plan on shopping at walgreens again.
4. say i buy toothpaste that gives me a register reward. i cannot turn around and buy more of the same toothpaste using that specific register reward and get another register reward. it unfortuntely just doesn't work like that. you can certainly use other register rewards you received from buying different products.
5. you cannot split up register rewards. for example, if you have a single extrabucks reward for $3.49, you cannot use $1 on one day and save the rest for later.
6. the ultimate goal is to "roll" your register rewards. for example, you want to "pay" with register rewards you already have from before and be getting items that will give you more register rewards for your next trip.
7. register rewards deals are sometimes "hidden" and you don't know about them until someone "accidentally" buys the right thing. that's exciting!
8. each month, an easysaver catalog comes out.
9. you can combine the coupons inside the catalog with manufacturer's coupons to get deep discounts.
10. you can also use manufacturer's coupons on top of sending in for the rebates, this also will give you deep discounts.
11. there are ususally a few items that are free after rebate each month and a few items free after register rewards weekly.
12. at walgreens, you cannot have more coupons than you have items. if you do, just purchase a filler (candy bar, pencil, or something else inexpensive).
13. register rewards count as coupons.
14. you will probably have to pay a little bit out of pocket to get started on this whole thing. i started with a trip to walgreens spending $8 and receiving $7 in register rewards. i used those register rewards on my next purchase, buying items that gave me more register rewards.. and the process repeats.
now these are just the basics and they're pretty cut and dry. if you have any questions, feel free to email me!
