WALGREENS TIPS

• 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.
• You can not pay for sales tax with a RR

I was Shopping at Albertsons when I ran into on of my readers Heidi who has become one of my friends.  We bump into each other often at Albertsons.  This week she asked me if she could bring me some of her vegetables [...]]]> HOLY COW is all I have to say…. Look what showed up at my house!

I was Shopping at Albertsons when I ran into on of my readers Heidi who has become one of my friends.  We bump into each other often at Albertsons.  This week she asked me if she could bring me some of her vegetables from her garden.  I was humbled that she would even ask.  She told me she does a multi family garden with her church and they have lots to share.

I was thinking a handful of vegetables…..instead I got a BAG of each  (red potatoes, gold potatoes, lettuce), 2 bags of peas and a mixed bag of beats and carrots.  All fresh, and delicious!

Thanks Heidi I was really touched by your kindness!  I look forward to helping you weed and pick next week!
