Need help with Black Friday Planning? Start Here!

Since I had so many requests for my Black Friday lists, I’m going to post them in full. This list includes every sale item that offers 100% rebate in numerical order from cheapest to most expensive and anything free with a coupon. By doing that, I can break my items into multiple transactions. Here is what I plan to buy at Walgreen, starting 11/27:

Sample Transaction:

Some coupons tips exclusive to Walgreens:

* There is maximum of 20 transaction per day when using Register Rewards.

* A Register Reward is considered a coupon. Walgreens only allows 1 coupon per item. If you want to use a manufacturer’s coupon and a Register Reward on a single item, you will need a filler.

Cheap filler ideas:

Nestle .77-2.1 oz & air heads 2 oz, $0.49 with in-ad coupon.

Sunny smile paper towels bath tissue single roll, $0.59 or 2/$0.88

*  Register Reward is issued by the company, not the product. An example would be if you buy Cover Girl which is made by P&G and use the reward to buy Crest, you will not get another reward!

* If you buy two identical items that produce Register Rewards in the same transaction, you will only earn one reward—separation is key!

 

Wishing everyone a huge haul at the “Coupon Olympics,” AKA Black Friday!
