I had a great trip to Walgreens today! Everything went exactly as planned
I had a Walgreens card with some store credit, so I used that store credit on the first two transactions. I then used the Register Rewards earned in the first two transactions to lower my out-of-pocket in the third one. The main reason I am mentioning that is to tell/remind you about Walgreens “gift cards” and “store credit.” You can use these on items where you earn a Register Reward for buying a fixed number of items (like BUY TWO Colgate Mouthwashes, Get $4 Register Rewards), but you CAN’T use them for making purchases that earn Balance Rewards points. (If you use the store credit on a points deal, you won’t earn the new points.)
Anywho…here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:
