Sometimes newbies to couponing get confused by learning all the new rules to rebates, single check rebates, register rewards, and catalinas. They also don’t want to drive to five different stores each week to get the deals. If this is you, price matching at Walmart may be your most efficient option. Follow me on a shopping trip where I show you what you can and can’t do.

Go here for a list of 57 items free or near a dollar at Walmart, including links to print all printable coupons you will need for your shopping trip.

walgreens_LOGOAt Walgreens, you can get a “Catalina” program called Register Rewards. A Register Reward is a coupon that prints after you make a qualifying purchase. It is typically good for “X” amount off of your next transaction. Pictured below is what the ad will look like in the Walgreen’s Circular. When you buy the advertised item, after paying, you will receive a coupon (Register Reward) to use on your next purchase.

Register RewardHere are the rules:

1. You can only get one Register Reward per promotion in a single purchase.  You can buy 2 of the same item, but they would have to be rung up separately. You can get multiple Register Rewards in one purchase when you buy products from different promotions.

2. You cannot use the exact Register Reward on the same promotion in a following transaction.  Ie.. if you buy Olay and get a RR (Register Reward) you cannot use that RR to buy another Olay.  If you do so, you will not receive a second RR.  You either have to pay for the soap and accumulate the catalinas for a different purchase, or you’ll need to use the catalinas from a different promotion to pay for the second Olay.

3. You have to have as many items purchased as coupons (RR is considered a coupon)! If you bought one Olay and tried to use a coupon and a RR it would not be accepted.  You would need to buy one more item so you have 2 products and 2 coupons. The extra item you buy doesn’t have to match up with any coupons!

4. Register Rewards and coupons can not be applied towards sales tax.  You will always have to pay the full tax amount for every purchase even if the products were free.

Rite Aid has a very detailed coupon policy, which can be viewed HERE.

Rite Aid features a program called  Single Check Rebates, commonly referred to as SCR or SCR’s.

Like traditional rebates, Rite Aid has a rebate for each individual item. Instead of sending separate checks for $1.00, $2.00 etc, the Single Check Rebate  program is designed to allow you to shop at Rite Aid during a predefined cycle and get one single check for the entire amount back. There are no UPCs to cut, shoppers card or rebate forms to keep track of. You need to save your receipt from your qualified purchases.

You will join the SCR program online HERE and enter your receipts each month. Rite Aid issues a SCR book  with each offer in it for that cycle . You can also find the shopping list for the products online HERE. This book will list dates that the rebate is valid. Note: Rebates are not necessarily valid during the entire rebate cycle. Most rebates are only available for one week. You must check the rebate dates.

Most items will require a single item purchase:
