Top 5 Walgreens Deals, Cheap Magazines with Cash Back, Free Funky Gifts, Boston Store Super Sale plus Coupon

Sara Conrad from SarandipitySaves.com shows you that being cheap can be oh-so chic with daily fortuitous frugal discoveries.

Happy Walgreens Wednesday! 

This week at Walgreens they're literally giving the store away! Freebies galore!

Walgreens makes saving money pretty easy with their Register Rewards program. Each week there are oodles of deals which produce Register Rewards, or RR for short. They will print with your receipt at the checkout and can be used on future purchases like cash.

There are a couple caveats though. You can not use an RR to purchase an item from the same brand as what the RR originally developed from. When you use the RR just make sure you do not use it to buy other items from said company. 

Also, if you're using manufacturer 'pons make sure you do not have more items in your transaction than you do manufacturer coupons. It's just one of those little trip-ups Walgreens is famous for. You can use an item that is on sale with a store 'pon. Those don't count.
