Couponing on a Budget

RR's and EB's

                Register Rewards @ Walgreens & Extra Bucks @ CVS What are they?    Every week Walgreens offer different amounts of Register Rewards (RR's)and CVS offers Extra Bucks ECB's) when you purchase certain items. RR's & ECB's are basically money in your hands, once you make the purchase and get the RR/ECB you can buy something else with it. On the Coke products I got a $10.00 RR so I then make a transaction using the RR which is like handing them $10.00. You can use during the same visit or on the next visit! Don't throw these away! Things you need to know when accumulating and redeeming RR's & ECB's

Different products offer different amounts, watch your sales fliers and look for products in the store that offer RR's & ECB's
Do NOT buy the same products in the same transaction, only buy the amount you need to get the RR/ECB. You can make more then one purchase and get another RR/ECB (See note at bottom) for the same product.
If you want to redeem more the one RR/ECB on one transaction you can however you must have as many items as you do RR's/ECB's and/or coupons.
What this means is.. say I have a $3.00 & a $1.00 RR I buy a $5.00 pkg of Toilet Paper, I also have a $1.00 coupon. So I am in reality wanting to redeem 3 coupons on 1 item. This will not work, so I will need what I call (filler items) Always look for cheap filler items if you need more items. Such as discontinued or clearance items. Seasonal items clearanced are always a good thing to look for also!

NOTE... CVS does limit the purchase of more then one item sometimes, make sure you read the small print in the ad.
