Walgreens - What Order Should You Give Your Coupons To Cashier - Walgreens Coupon Policy

View Walgreens Coupon Policy, here

Want to save some extra $$ by giving your coupons to Walgreens cashier in a certain order?

First Things First:
Rain Checks should be given to cashier before scanning purchase items.

Last Things Last:
After all merchandise has been scanned, give your coupons in this order.  I usually try to hold them and give them to her in groups broken down in the following categories and order.  Sometimes a cashier will ask for them all at once.  If this happens and I believe my purchase may result in overage, I will say to the cashier something like 'I think this will work best if you scan the coupons in this order, or the register may beep.'  That usually works fine.

• 1. Store Coupons
• 2. Register Rewards
• 3. Manufacturer Coupons
• 4. AARP Card, if you or a family member have one.

I usually keep an eye on what is happening on the register display because things don't always ring up as I expect, so it is easy to get distracted from putting coupons in order. By using manufacturer coupons last any overage may end up being applied toward the tax -and- may help reduce the need to purchase filler items.  However, you should still have some filler items handy in case your overage is causing the register to beep.

IMPORTANT:  Don't forget, Walgreens will not allow more manufacturer coupons than there are items.  For details, see the Walgreens coupon policy.  So However, since I didn't do that, I ended up having to add filler items at the end of transactions (in this case it was newspaper and multiple M&M's on sale for 49¢)

TIP:  If you keep the categories of coupons separated and paper clipped, it is easier to get the cashier to scan them in the right order if he/she wants them all at once. 

TIP:  AARP card scan usually produces an extra Catalina coupon and sometimes a special Register Reward.  Example:  They recently had a promotion where a scan produced a $5 Register Reward store coupon.  This was not a manufacturer Register Reward, so there were fewer limitations on using it.  This week, at check-out, I have received an extra coupon for $2 of one Revlon beauty tool, which are perfect for the $1.49 nail file packages.  The overage bought a package of M&M's each time (on sale 49¢ this week)

*A Note About Walgreen's Register Rewards:  These are usually "sponsored" by manufacturers as promotions.  Sometimes they are actually store coupons.  So it is important to look and see which it is, because you can only use one manufacturer's coupon for one item.  Additionally, you must have at least as many items as manufacturer coupons. So if you have 4 items, and 4 manufacturer coupons, and 2 Register Rewards that are also manufacturer coupons, pick 2 of something on special for a low price, such as a candy bar, an eraser, a pocket folder, or one of the 39¢ caramels usually found on top of the register counter.
