Here are the Walgreens Black Friday deals. If you are new to shopping at Walgreens, make sure you check out my tips for shopping at Walgreens here.
During the holidays, Walgreens has changed the name of their “Register Rewards” to “Jingle Cash” but to avoid confusing everyone, I’m going to continue to use “RR” in these match-ups! Also, from my experience, the RR “round up” (so if the ad says $2.99, get a $2.99 RR it usually ends up being $3), so that is the way I am posting it, but we won’t know for sure until tomorrow! Also, in my scenarios, I’m adding ‘fillers’ still. Technically, they are no longer needed, but it’s hit or miss with my cashiers being able to override the register and rather than hassling and holding up the line, I’ll just be getting some things I need! (I tried to make sure that these were all complete accurate, but there may be errors – doing match-ups with 2 kids around isn’t easy!)

These scenarios are for people who have few, if any RR to start with – this will get you all of the freebie items ($64.49 in merchandise) for $7 OOP – there are ways to get it for less OOP, and you can eliminate items that you don’t want/need. Just make sure that you are not using a RR from the same manufacturer to pay for an item that earns the same $ amount of RR (I don’t think this will be a problem with any of the items that are freebies this time around) If you are starting with RR, just make sure that the total number of coupons and RRs you are using is the same as the # of items you are buying!

FAQS: (Check out Walgreens new coupon policy here!)
Do you do multiple transactions at one store on one visit?
It just depends. Several stores in my area have gone to a “one RR per item per day” rule, which means I can’t do more than one transaction where I’m earning RR for the same product at the same store. Some of the stores in my area also will not let you use the RR you earn from one transaction on another transaction in that same visit. I’m fortunate to have several stores within a few minutes of my house, so I usually try to break up transactions at different stores and on different days to stay in the good graces of my stores.
What is Walgreens policy on using BOGO free coupons with a BOGO free offer, adjusting down coupons, etc.?
The new coupon policy does not really using a BOGO free coupon with a BOGO free promotion, but it does say you can use up to two coupons as long as the total doesn’t go below zero, so, you SHOULD be able to do this!!
Walgreens coupon policy is now to adjust the value of coupons down – YAY!!
Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item (always give the store coupon last to avoid problems)
*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, if you buy 2 Listerine, you will only earn a RR for one)
*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Listerine and use the RR from that to buy more, the RR will not print
*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items if you are using a manufacturer’s coupon and a RR. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)
*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.
*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.
*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-877-210-1917, option 1
