Extreme Couponing Tip: Match Number of Items with Manufacturer Coupons at Walgreens

Walgreens has a lot of rules and quirks. One rule requires that the number of manufacturer coupons cannot exceed the number of items in the transaction (i.e. to use 10 manufacturer coupons, you must be buying at least 10 items). Manufacturer coupons include Register Rewards but not store coupons. Store coupons are found in the weekly ad, monthly booklet, or W coupons from Sunday inserts.

To make sure checkout is smooth, do a quick count of manufacturer coupons before you go to the register. If you are short of items, add fillers–inexpensive items to up your item count. Great fillers include clearance items, individually wrapped caramels, pencils, gum packets, postcards, a Sunday newspaper, and milk or eggs. Also look out for cheap in-ad buys like cans of mandarin oranges or boxes of gelatin.
