Hey Heather, I'm a Walgreens store manager and I loved watching this! I like how you're well-prepared so the cashier is not confused or having to spend a lot of time figuring out the coupons. Great deals for you, and no hassle for anyone else. Awesome couponing!

Those asking about filler items - this is when you have 10 items, but you may have twelve coupons to use. You need to have at least 12 items, since you can't have more coupons than products. So she was showing to pick up some small, inexpensive items to allow all the coupons to go through. I am brand new at this, but I've been studying up and I love these women! I used the KCL tracking last night and overall I've saved 44% on my purchases! I recently stocked up on cold meds, due to all the coupons, rebates, etc. I ended up paying $.50 per item, where normally during cold season I would shell out $7.99 because we needed it. Planning ahead and being prepared is key! Thank you KCL!

did they shut down the whole store because of her making this video. cant see any other customers?!

It's annoying when people don't know how to put items back where they got them from; like the plastic spoons...it's not that difficult to hang them back on the rack

Dude! That binder is insanely huge!! Lol Love it!!!

being a cashier at Walgreen's, I just want to clear up a rule about Register Rewards that most of my customers get confused about. RRs are good one per offer. let's say, for example, the Colgate is free after RR. if you were to buy two in the same transaction, you will only get one RR. this also rule also applies if you try to use the RR on the same product in separate transactions. if you buy the Colgate, get the RR, the use that RR on the same Colgate in a separate transaction, you won't get the second RR because the system recognizes that you already got one. Also, (now that I am thinking about it) RRs are manufacture coupons, not store coupons. I hope this clears things up for someone out there and makes it easier to work with the system. I was kind of surprised she didn't mention it in the video. Happy Shopping! ^_^

I always feel organized before I'm at the store..then when I get into the store I feel a mess. You make this look so easy.

I don't understand where these couponers get $3 off coupons. That's rare... Usually you get 75 cents off TWO items that cost at least 5 dollars anyway... Good for you, though. Glad you have those high priced coupons.

Learned a few extra tips. Took some notes. I just started about 3 months ago. Single mother of 2. So every $$ really counts for us. Love it!! Thank you.

I love it when people actually show you the whole shopping trip. Thank you :)

really great ideas. i'm a single father so these kind of videos are always helpful. thanks

LOL DANGEROUS COOKIES!

I would really hate to be behind her in line.

shes great but where I live u gotta get in early or youll get cursed out doing it while theyre busy lol

I'm a cashier at Cub Foods and usually the $ big $3 coupons are from the customer calling the company and complaining about the product or its packaging. You may be able to sign up on their email list. ;)

Also, a good thing to remember is that you have to present your Walgreens balance reward card to get their sales prices and this was not mentioned. It gaurantees the lower prices and accumulates points from specific items stated in the circular that you can use like money towards a future purchase.

I like how you just take your time haha you make it seem so graceful.. I would be all jittery and guilty even though couponing is legit.

filler items are items you buy in order to cover the amount of overage you total

she is very good in maths she should be my math teacher.. 😞😞

What a nice clean and neat store.. I'm sure it was set up just for you.... lol Love your video's. Thanks so much, I'm learning a lot.

That was awesome. It sure helped me. I did a CVS yesterday and came out almost crying. I dud get the bengay from 5.49 to ,49. And I got 2 of them. The rest....not so well. Not to mention the fact that my coupon book fell off the cart, with the help of a 2 year old, and busted open. Than God the cashier was so friendly!!!

Thank you for the great tips! I am the mother of 5 active teens, and have started my binder, and clip coupons daily! I did not know you could do the separate the rewards and use them for the next transaction. I have to shop when it is not busy.

Ohhh how clever!! Makes me wanna go browse walgreens right now! Lol. Great video. Xoxo

I showed this video to a group of high school students and they loved it.

At my regular Walgreen's store, on Tuesday is an extra discount for 55+ and AARP members - 20% off any regular priced item as well as having extra unadvertised specials. And remember you cannot use bonus rewards on the same day you earn them, like on a second transaction. The program ( computerized) does not add them immediately to your account.

The krazy coupon ladys are so awsome they help me save money and now im using a lot of coupons.

Thank You For This Video..I Have Already Started Using The Envelope System..It Really Helps In Not Having To Search For The Coupons I Need When Checking Out..Organization Is The Key To A Successful Shopping Trip.*

HUGE help! I just did my first Walgreens couponing trip today - saved $32.66 on $50.78! That's 64% savings! Thank you SO much, you're blog helped me understand the process so much easier. Keep it up!

Thank you so very much! I have been waiting for a video that was so clear and concise. It's nice to have a visual. Applause!!!

When it says 3.00 off the nivea and they cost 3.79 - how do you know they will take 3 dollars off of every nivea bottle and not just one?

an empty walgreens and an organized clearance section never seen it lol

I wish I could go shopping with you! Very helpful watching you actually shop and calculate things

What do you mean by filler items? New to this

Just discovered your channel and website... Absolutely LOVE!!! You explained things so well and answered a lot of questions of mine. I'm just getting started with coupons so it is overwhelming at times. I will definitely be recommending your videos and website to friends and family.

How can Oreos be dangerous

My family has 9 kids, and in 2005, my mom spent around $20,000 a trip. Since we now coupon, we only spend around $200, while we still have 15 carts to push around the store. Couponing is great, regular transactions of $100 in my family would just be 1 day meals for everyone, now it lasts us around 2 weeks!

I just got out of Walgreens and the cashier said I could only use my RR as my first coupons instead of last, as I handed her my in store and other manufacturers coupons first. .. is this true? I thought RR coupons should be used last. She was going to have to void something and re do the order so I said forget it ughhhh

Oh how I would love to go shopping with you!

@ballamedic18 You can use as many as you want- you just have to have the same number of items and coupons, including RRs.

@BeckyTeddy thank you for explaining that, i didn't know either. After readin this and watching the video, it means if you have multiple coupons (store/manufacture) for a single item, you have to have other items (you called fillers) to even out the coupon/items bought ratio. right? such as the little caramel thing at the counter.

Thank you your video was great because im beginner couponer in a small town where we dont really get a lot of coupons every bit hslps.

does walgreens accept manufacturer coupons?

Register rewards are not good on "anything in the store". Prescriptions, gift cards, alcohol, health care clinic services and tobacco are a few things ineligible to use a register reward on.

You have to be careful though because if your 1 coupon says for two or more that counts for that many items.

ok I'm finally starting to get it now only I stil don't understand the fillers & how do you know when you need them

where do you get most of your coupons I want to learn how to do this

Awesome Job! My Walgreens lady says to use Manufacture MQS 1st, then Wags MQS then Register Rewards. She says there are less conflicts. I have had a Wags MQ run first and it prevented me from using the Manufacture MQ. The cashier handed it back and said sorry the computer won't take it! I ask her to void then re enter the item and then Manufacture 1st then the Wags MQ and it worked! The Cosmetic lady said it doesn't always happen but it does do it! LOVE the Video I am going to recommend it!

What if the coupons I have can only be redeemed at one store only.

I havn't shopped at Walgreens in a long time. I guess I need to start going back since I can save so much.

I'm going to walgreens tomorrow and if my calculations are right I will save about 65%

Wow!! Awesome!! I'm ready to get addicted! Newbie here!! ;) ~YG

It's good you had the cashier to yourself because at my walgreens is always a line a long line so people would get mad if you do more than one transaction at a time guess I'll take a friend with me I love walgreens!

@mynameisnterin I live in Oregon and we have 0% tax so when I get free stuff, it is really FREE!! @TheKrazyCouponLady you are awesome! Love your videos!!! : )

so u do 3 transactions to get those register rewards right

I think the cashier grabbed your Hershey RR that you laid on the counter for the second trans. That's what happened to it. hehe. This video answered some questions I had about using RR's. Thank you very much! I'm excited about my next Wag's shopping trip! You weren't kidding when you said it takes a lot of prep to go shopping at Wag's. You can't just walk into the store without organizing and separating trans before you get there. TY for the tip about not having to tear out store Q's.

@TheKrazyCouponLady Okay its only 2 and a half where i live!!! and Heather and jonie I love you videos watching them got me started coponing thanks soo much!~!!

The monthly coupon book, can u use the coupon more than one time or u can only use it once???

can you use peelies and a mfc for the same item??

@julian262004 Yes, you can use it the same day. You can use as many RRs as you want, as long as your ratio to coupons (including RRs) and items is equal.

I love this video! Thank you for sharing. I definitely learned from it. Now I am going to plan a trip to Walgreen tomorrow to try your shopping method!

@BeckyTeddy Thank you so much. I was wondering what the filler item was.

this was very helpful for me thank you krazy coupon lady

Just a reminder if you have a Walgreens Prescription Savings Club card or WCard, you get a 10% rebate put on the card for your next purchase. So if you were to buy the filler that was mentioned on the clearance rack (the Walgreens brand plastic forks), you would get $0.05 on that card to use the next time. So Walgreens brand is a good filler if you have the card!

Thank you! This was so helpful! I always thought the Register Rewards were stupid because I felt they were just a ply to get you to come back but if you have multiple transactions it works!

What state are you in

Can I use a coupon that says exclude trial size item on a travel size item? Trial size vs. Travel size is there a difference?

Was the store closed when you filmed this? If you try to film this in Brooklyn, they will run you over with their shopping carts. :)

This really helped!! I hope you can do one for the other two drugstores ( and maybe walmart) as well!! Thanks so much!

Would you please explain what fillers are for?

Most places don't allow customers to do separate transactions as it's against store policy. Was she allowed to do this just for the video? Most couponers have to go to more than one store. Btw, is she/are you foreign because maybe I'm dreaming but I heard a slight foreign accent?

Where i live you cant double coupon

Love MARS! My dad works for them :)

Hi! Do they still let you do multiple transactions in order to get the extra RR to use on other transactions?

@artemisrain If the limit is 1 in the ad, then yes, you have to separate your transactions in order to buy more than 1.

Very nice. still confusing but I'll try applying this. Thanx!!!

All I have to say is thank you for this video. There are things that I did not understand like "fillers". But by reading the comments I got it. Thanks again.

I am going this weekend and I am so nervous! But this has helped. Thank you! -J. Yarbrough-

What are some great stores for extreme couponing? I really want to try this because I feel I can help alot of people.

How do I get Register Rewards?Do I have to sign up for them?

I am a bit confused when you said the Nivea wash was 3.75 and you had a $3 off coupon , so does that mean that one coupon works with all the Nivea washes that you bought or you have 3 Nivea coupons ?

I am new at this and am really trying to follow along :) but I am wondering how you keep it all so organized??? I always leave a little frazzled!! Lol!! So do you use your Wallgreens card? I didn't see you using it and I wondered if that affects your rewards?

Hello I wanted to ask you a question about walgreens. I went to walgreens the other night and I have coupons for the colgate toothpaste that is on sale this week, and was told by the cashier that I could only get one colgate to get the RR, and I that I wasn't allowed to do different transactions. So I ended up getting only one, and only 1RR. I had 3 coupons for the toothpaste. Are they allowed to tell me I can't do seperate transactions? Apparently my walgreens has a new manager.

Im new at couponing and the past 2 times i went to walgreens I bought items that were supposed to print register rewards it didn't. I bought 2 bags of twizzlers on sale for 2 for 3 and had 2 coupons for .75/1 and the other time I bought hair scunchis on sale for 2 for 3 . Anyone know why they wouldn't print. Thanks

well maybe u would like to tell the people u have coupons.....they either wait or come back later! luv heathers videos!

What do you mean by filler items? Sorry, new to couponing. Thanks!

This is the best!!! I had no idea I could use different transactions and use my RR!! Duh!! LOL! :D You have helped me out immensely!

.I noticed the Zest body wash on clearance. I picked those up at mine they were $1.00 and they had a $1.00 off coupon at the time and my store had them as double packs so I got two bottles for free...yea

Two more questions. The gift card at the end: where did that come from and was that included in the out of pocket cost?

Using a credit card like Upromise will give you extra savings for college. Upromise.com. Also use paper bags instead of plastic or recyclable. The American paper industry is dying. They grow pine trees in farms, replant multiples for each one cut. Paper is compostable and recyclable.

@TheKrazyCouponLady in finland it is 23 % tax

thank you for making this video it's good to see how it works than just read about it. thank you ♥♥♥

What are filler items?

i have a question? If i get a register reward can i use it that same day for something else? and how many register rewards can i use in one transaction?

this video is so helpful!

This explained so much! Thank you.

So, why was the store empty?

Can you go into more detail as to why you had to do three transactions? Also, do you ever get any flack for splitting them in one pass through the line?

What was that coupon book that was used at the end? And how/where do we get them?

This is all I needed to know!! OMG so helpful!! Now I understand why they dont accept dime coupons.. I can grab some cheap filler items and done!! Lol how easy! Thank you so much!

what if u spend all night making transactions and then the next day,you go and u dnt find certain items for example, one time i needed dial body wash from walgreens along with some other items and the dial was in almost all my transactions and i didnt find a single one so it ruined everything for me what should i do?
