Coupon deals at Walgreens

Walgreens is a good place to get deals also. Walgreens puts out a booklet every month that has store coupons on items and also has rebates for the month. The great thing with Walgreens like CVS, you can use store coupons with manufacture's coupons together. EXAMPLE: I had a Walgreen's coupon for Pert Plus for $2.50 off and a manufacturer's coupon that I cut from coupon inserts from my paper for a $1.00. The shampoo was on sale for $3.49 and I used both my coupons and I made .01 on this item and got the item for FREE! Alot of people don't realize that most (not all) stores will let you use the store coupons with manufacturer's coupons. So at Walgreen's you can get alot of deals with their store coupons (it is called the Easy Saver coupons). Walgreen's also does rebates every month also that you submit at the end of the month either in the mail or online. Walgreen's on certain items will issue coupons called Register Rewards(this is like CVS's Extra Bucks) you can use the Register Rewards coupon to purchase practically anything in the store, it is used like cash to purchase items in the store. You use these coupons on future visits. Also, if you register at http://www.walgreens.com/ you will get store coupons frequently to print. EXAMPLE: $5 off purchase of $15. You can also use this coupon in conjunction with the other coupons.

Shop around for good prescription deals

If you don't have insurance, then it is real important to get the best price for prescriptions. Call around and find out who has the best prices in your town. Rite Aid is a great place to get prescriptions because they will price match competitor's prices. Example: I had a prescription for a antibiotic and usually walmart has the cheapest prescription prices, so I called Walmart and it was $67, I tried CVS and it was $99 (CVS does NOT price match). I took my prescription to Rite Aid (because I will not get prescriptions at Walmart because it is a nightmare to stand in line) and the pharmacist asked if I checked the price at Publix because they have certain antibiotics for free. I was sure this particular prescription would not be free, however, I called to find out the price and it was cheaper than anywhere else. It was $37 (a $30 difference than Walmart). So it pays to shop around!! Also, Rite Aid has a prescription savings club you can sign up for if you don't have insurance, it is free and will save you an additional 20% and you can also use it on Rite Aid brand products in store for 10% off. Also, if you transfer a prescription from somewhere else you can get a Rite Aid gift card for $30 to use in the store. I believe you can get up to 4 cards for an individual. This offer expires 11/30. They have booklets at the store, ask your pharmacist or perhaps it's online also.

Coupon deals at Rite Aid

Rite Aid has monthly rebates. You can save alot of money with rebates. Rite Aid has a flyer in the entrance of the store with the monthly rebates and weekly they will advertise deals with some of their rebates. You can keep track of your rebates online or on a form on the back of the catalog (flyer). Save your receipts because you need the info. to track your rebates, however, if you mail in your rebates, you do NOT have to mail the receipts with it. Alot of items will be free after rebate. At the end of the month you will submit your form for all rebate purchases for one total rebate for the month. I do mine online, it is much easier and saves me postage. At the end of the following month you will recive a check from Rite Aid for all your rebates for the month. My highest rebate check to date was for $58. The great thing about rebates is that you can still use coupons for your item purchased and you will get the refund for the price before coupon, so you can make money on an item sometimes.
