'Wags' AKA Walgreens Cottonelle (Cheapie) & Mt Dew KickStart (freebie) deal wk 3/24-3/30

If you follow me on my fb page or know me at all, you know very well that I don't do too much at Walgreens, their policy & rewards program is a bit much for me to grasp or bother with to be honest. But I heard about this deal & decided to give it a shot, I needed to re-up my toilet paper stockpile anyways lol.

The store has a sale on Cottonelle, spend $15, get 3,000pts (every 1,000 pts is equal to $1, once you hit 5,000pts, you have $5 that you can either apply to your transaction AT the register OR choose to save it & add points onto it). There are printable coupons $1/1 12pk Cottonelle toilet paper OR Flushable wipes. The 12pk toilet paper is priced at $5ea, so I got 3 pks of TP=$15, used 3 $1/1 coupon, so I paid $12+tax for 3 rolls, got 3,000 ($3) added to my rewards card & also received a $3 catalina coupon (this is a coupon directly from the manufacturer that prints from the catalina coupon machine at the register AFTER you complete your transaction, do NOT throw these away, this is actual $ to use towards anything on your next transaction!) So I technically only paid $9 for 3 12pks of toilet paper.

A freebie this week is the Mt Dew KickStart energy drink, with your rewards card it rings up for $.99 & after you pay you get a $.99 register reward back=FREE.

In case you are interested in shopping Walgreens w their reward program, or maybe you already are & don't really understand it...here is all I really know about it, I'm sorry I can't get into too-too much detail because I don't shop there alot. Here are the main things:

1. They have in-ad coupons on their weekly sales ads
2. They have store coupons in various sections of the store: Vitamins, foot care, cold & flu, beauty, pediatric medicines, diabetes products, etc, etc.
3. Their rewards program works in 2 different ways...
     a) You earn points that eventually turn into money you can use at the register once you save enough
     b) You can earn "register rewards" (much like a catalina, BUT if you plan to purchase multiple products to get multiple rewards on the same brand/product, they have to be done in seperate transactions AND they should NOT be used on the same product or it nullifies the register reward you would be getting on the transaction you redeemed a register reward on.
-->Ex: If I went back to buy more Cottonelle toilet paper, I could use that $3 register reward on that same product to discount my total BUT I wouldn't get the $3 register reward because it's the same manufacturer, it HAS to be a different manufacturer so it doesn't void out the new register reward.
**VERY IMPORTANT!! Register Rewards count as a "manufacturer coupon"**
4. You can 'stack' 2 coupons per item (1 store coupon & 1 manufacturer coupon) BUT, you have to have the same amount of items in your order as coupons.

Example: If I buy 1 pk of Cottonelle toilet paper, I can use a $1/1 manufacturer coupon AND the $3 Register reward on it, but i need to add something to my order (gum, candy, etc aka 'filler') or the register will not accept it. So yes, I can use 2 coupons on that one product BUT I need something else so I can use both of those coupons.

5. Another note on the Register rewards, they have to be redeemed in the increments they were earned or you will LOSE $, below is the tier in which you can earn/redeem:
Redeem for rewards. 5,000 points = $5 reward
**note that the more points you earn, the higher the value is, but as you go up each tier, you don't need as many points in between values...1st tier=5,000 points earns u $5, 2nd=5,000 more pts to get $10 ($5 more $)... 8,000 more pts for $20 ($10 more $)...12,000 more pts to get $35 ($25 more $) & finally 10,000 more pts to reach $50  ($10 more dollars) hope that makes sense.

ONE MORE THING on Register Rewards (And I'm done, I promise! lol), these can be used at Harris Teeter on your transaction, because they accept 'competitor coupons', so should you not care to go back to Walgreens before that Register Reward expires, use it on your groceries! That's what I will be doing lol.

Make sure to scan your rewards card (regardless of what store you shop at) to make sure you are getting the sales price/poss benefits of purchasing that item!
