FREE bottle of 5-Hour Energy


Need a boost? Grab yourself a FREE bottle of 5-Hour Energy HERE! I've tried 5-Hour Energy once..I drank the entire thing and it ended up giving me the shakes really bad. Then I realized that on the back of the bottle it says for women to only drink 1/2 a bottle, save the other 1/2 for a different time. Oops! So I recommend reading the back of the bottle BEFORE drinking.

How to Shop Walgreens

I am going to attempt to help beginners on How to Shop Walgreens. This can be very confusing for people just starting out saving at Walgreens. I have been doing this for a while and so if this sounds confusing or you have questions, Please ask by commenting down below and I will answer as much as I can :)
*This post is without getting coupons involved. I will have another post later on How to Coupon at Walgreens.



Walgreens, also known as "Wags", is a great place to get cheap or even FREE toiletries and more! Walgreens does not have a customer loyalty card.. anyone may shop and receive Register Rewards (RR)-pictured above, which are Walgreens "Store Dollars" that print out and will be handed to you with your receipt. Do Not Lose These! Now, in the Walgreens store Ad..look for Register Reward Deals, for example..

Blink Tears Eye Care
.33 -.5 oz.
sale price         $8
Register
Rewards*
good on
next purchase  $8

like
getting
purchase         FREE

So what this is saying is, you are going to pay the sale price $8..you will receive an $8 Register Reward (RR) along with your receipt. You may now use that RR on your next Walgreens purchase. So you are using a little cash Out Of Pocket, but you are getting it back in Walgreens cash..so it's like getting it for FREE!

Some Things to Know About the Register Reward

  • Can't be used on alcohol, cigarettes, gift cards, phone cards
  • You will not receive the RR until AFTER you pay for your transaction
  • Register Rewards expire 2 weeks after being issued-Do Not Let Them Expire!
  • In order to use a RR that you received from a previous transaction, your present transaction total BEFORE taxes must be equal or greater than the RR amount
  • !!THE MOST CONFUSING BUT MOST IMPORTANT RULE!!- The RR's will have the brand that gave you the Register Rewards printed on it..so if you bought and received a RR from a P&G: Proctor & Gamble product (Tide, Gillette, Old Spice, Dawn, Crest, Olay, Covergirl and many more)..then you CANNOT use it on another Proctor & Gamble Register Reward Deal, because it will not print out the RR for the 2nd transaction.
    *so don't use a RR that you got from Tide Register Reward Deal and use it to purchase a Gillette Register Reward Deal. If the Gillette is not a Register Reward Deal then you may use it!

If you are confused or need to ask questions while you are in the store..don't panic! Ask the Walgreens employees. They are trained very well!

"Where can you find coupons?"

Many people ask "where can you find coupons?". Well, coupons are everywhere! When you're first starting out couponing, it may seem like you're never going to be able to get a good pile of coupons. Well no worries, there are many sources out there..
1.) the Sunday newspaper
2.) ALL YOU magazine (available at Walmart)- has usually $80-$100 worth of coupons!
3.) make an email address specifically for couponing, requesting samples almost always come with coupons.
4.) write your favorite product companies and give them feedback- whether it be negative or positive they will usually send you some pretty good coupons.
5.) print coupons from home- redplum.com, smartsource.com, and coupons.com are the 3 most trusted and best sites for printable coupons. (remember..you can print each coupon twice from each computer, so be sure to hit that back button and then refresh to print that 2nd time!)
6.) watch for blinkie coupons in your stores, also look on product packages for some peelie coupons!

now get out there and keep your eyes peeled for some coupons!   :)

FINALLY back!

After months of being offline..I'm finally ready to get back to my blog! These past few months have been so busy..we had our 3rd child (a beautiful baby girl!), after 6 1/2 years Justin and I finally got hitched ;)  and between the hubs working, going to school for Law Enforcement and being in the NAVY..kids have kept me busy, busy, BUSY!

So lately I've been ADDICTED to Pinterest..if you have no idea what it is, go check it out! I have to admit..we bought our house almost 4 years ago and the only thing I have on my walls are a few old family pictures. I'm just not very good at decorating and it's just frusterating for me, trying to figure out what goes with what..what colors look good together..this & that..it's just a headache for me. But this site has given me so many ideas! I have finally got a good idea of how I want my house to look and I cannot wait until the city garage sales start up. I'll be keeping my eye out for old furniture and I'll be happy to be able to open up the windows and be able to paint my kitchen cupboards. In a few months my house will have a nice homey-feel to it! So I think I'll be posting some DIY tips also to help show some ways to save money if you need to give your home a little (or if you're like me.. A HUGE!) makeover!  :)

I'm so excited to be back!
