I don't usually shop at Walgreens because I find the coupon policy a bit restrictive. You are allowed to stack store coupons and manufacturer coupons, but you cannot also use rewards. Basically, rewards are counted as a coupon, and you need to have the same number of items as the number of "coupons" you are using.
This week, however, I couldn't pass up these free Huggies. Walgreens had rewards deals for 2 items I need to buy anyway. I never buy these items without getting rewards for them:) First, Tidy Cats was $5 and if you spent $20 you got $5 in rewards. I had $1/1 coupons for that. Also, All laundry detergent was $3.99, and if you spent $10 you got $3 rewards. I had $1 coupons for these too. So I bought what I needed (using my own stash of coupons, of course) and ended up with $8 in rewards.
Huggies were on sale for $9.50. The Walgreens coupon book for August had a $4 off Huggies coupon. You can use one Walgreens coupon and it will apply to multiple quantity, so I got $4 off each pack. I then stacked a $2 off coupon for each pack, so they were $3.50 each, or $7 for both. I wanted to use my 2 rewards, but because of the policy I needed 2 more items, and I also needed to bring up the total to use the full amount on the rewards. I chose these mini highlighters for $.50 each. My total was $8, and I used the $8 in rewards making them free. If you wait for a store deal you can almost always earn rewards for household items like paper products. You just need to stock up each sale period to get you through to the next deal:)
