Matt was at work and I had kids home so I made a SHORT trip to use a few twice the value coupons at Albertsons.
Albertsons has a Sizzlin Summer Giveaway coupon booklets at the front of the store. Inside is a manufacture coupon for $1.00 off 2 Lindsay Olives matched with coupons you can get them for FREE if you buy 10 items on the Save $5 instantly promo. BUT since I was shopping with kids and NOT thinking clearly I only bought 6 items…. making them $.50 a can (instead a free). Oops.
Lindsay Olives $1.50
use the $1.00 off 2 coupon in the Sizzlin Summer Giveaway
also use a twice the value coupon (found in Sundays paper on the Albertsons ad)
Final price $.50 each (or FREE if you bought 10 items on the Save $5 promo)

I love a crispy piece bacon… but I do not love the price. Bacon as been around $4.99- $6.99 per lb the last year. Every few months in will dip down to $2.99-$3.99 still a rather pricey cut of meat. SO I was rather excited about this sale at Albertsons , you can get Applewood Smoked Thick Sliced Bacon $1.99 when you buy 4 lbs or more, limit 10 lbs. My store was selling them in a 5lb bag for only $1.99 a lb. This is a STOCK UPS PRICE for me.
I find that I use bacon more as a flavoring, like in Yellow Squash with Bacon or Green Beans. Rather than a breakfast item. Since I do not plan to eat 5 lbs of bacon in the next week I wrapped it up in bundles, 4 slices in each package about 1/3 – 1/2 of a lb each. Now I can keep it in my freezer and have it on hand. I am thinking of getting another package before the sale ends… because this really is the lowest price I have seen in a LONG time.

I was able to get for FREE just paid .24 tax (.6 for each purchase)
But I got back $4 in register reward, making this a $3.76 money maker
One thing I teach in my coupon classes is to NOT buy something just because it has a coupon or just because it is free. When I talk to people that “use to” coupon they often tell me they quit because they found they were buying products just because they had a coupon and where a good deal. Many of these foods they did not really want in there home so they quit couponing.
Well this week I broke one of my own rules…. Starbucks Refreshers are free with coupon, but also turn into a money maker after register reward. I do not drink coffee or tea so there is no reason for me to buy them. BUT I plan to donate them to the food bank. I can then use the $1.00 RR towards other things my family needs. Making this a worth while item to purchase even though I will not use them myself.
I used the Starbucks Refresher coupon get it free, then paid with an $8.00 register reward from last weeks deals. Final price was $1.99 plus .66 tax = $2.65
After I paid got back a $1.00 and $3.00 Register Reward

I was able to find some deals at Walgreens this week on their restock day… but being that the sale ends today I do not see much value in typing out every transaction. Pretty much I just bought two of each item (one at a time so the RR would still print for both) starting with the lowest register reward, then went to the next “rolling” my register rewards to keep my out of pocket cost low.

Can I use a coupon and still have a Register Reward print, click here.
I always check out at the cosmetics counter, and if anyone comes behind me I let them go first, so I do not hold up the line.
One thing to remember about Walgreens RR (register reward) is you can not use a “chap stick RR” to pay for another chap stick and have another RR print. BUT you can use a “toothpaste” RR to pay for chap stick and have another RR print.
Also remember that Walgreens has a coupon item ratio rule, you can only use as many coupons as you have items. They count RR as coupons. So if I was only buying 4 items ( all of which had manufacture coupons which meant my item coupon ratio was already 4 to 4) I wanted to pay with a RR I would need to ad a filler item something cheap like a pencil. This would then make my coupon ration 5 ( 4 manufacturer coupons and 1 register reward) and my item ratio 5. I then could pay with my coupons and RR with no problem. An instore coupon does NOT count as a coupon in this ratio….just as a sale price.
Also remember that only one RR per product will print per transaction. For example If wanted to buy 3 bottles of Aussie shampoo. In order to have 2 RR print for each one I had to buy them in 3 transactions. My store is happy to let me go thru the line more than once ……but some store will limit you.
