favorite filler item ideas
As a reminder, you must have at least as many items in a given transaction as the number of manufacturer coupons you’re presenting. And it’s important to note that your Register Rewards are treated as manufacturers’ coupons. So if you head to check out with one item, a coupon and a Register Reward, the register won’t accept both. How to remedy this? Simply buy a small “filler item” to balance your transaction. Again…make sure you at least have as many items as manufacturers’ coupons. Store coupons thankfully do NOT count!
Best bets for this week:
School supplies! I especially think the 9-cent rulers or folders would work well
Look for small, seasonal decorations
Look for small food items – I like the instant coffee packets – the Royal Gelatin also works
Looks for single pencils & cheap stationery items
Look for Walgreens water bottles priced at $0.49! My store had these near the diabetic section (towards the pharmacy). They were on a shelf and filled with first aid items. I also recently saw them near checkout.
more walgreens help?
Need some help making sense of all this Register Reward stuff? I’ve written quite a bit on the topic HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Wouldn’t the Dr. Scholl’s be a complete money maker in conjunction with the $5 off Walgreen’s coupon from the July booklet? I’d posted a couple weeks ago, how to get Dr. Scholl’s free… it should work! http://goo.gl/fb/ELFoT
Didn’t know about the July booklet coupon!! I’m not sure what the exact price is on the insoles though…so I can’t confirm if it’s a moneymaker. While it says “spend $10 or more,” what if the insoles are priced at say, $14.99 each? Thanks for the heads-up on the booklet coupon!!
