Get your Coupons for FREE!


How did I maximize my trip to Walgreens today in order to get another Sunday paper with coupons for free?
Our local paper was having a delivery deal this past month, so I now get my paper delivered each week for just over a dollar, well under the selling price in our area. his allows me to check out the coupons and decide if I want to purchase another paper that week. Before going to Walgreens today, I checked the weekly ad to see what money makers I could find to help me purchase an extra paper for free.
This week at Walgreens there are several money makers in addition to free products. Walgreens uses a register reward program (RR) making many items free or nearly free after reward. If you roll them each week you can spend very little out of pocket (OOP).
The picture above shows all the products I got for free, including the newspaper because I was going to make $1.50 extra on the products, that allowed me to cover the cost of the paper. I walked in with $5 in RR's, and walked out spending $1.55 OOP and $6.50 is RR's. Translation? All of the above products + newspaper entirely FREE.
