finally no more oop at Walgreens

My gc has about 64.00 on it from last months FAR so I am going to try and only use it with coupons and RR going forward. Has anyone who has been doing this a long time been successful trying this? The only thing I can see having to pay for is prescriptions, but this month all of mine are ar Rite Aide anyway.

I would like to be able to do this someday too! Currently I have almost 30 on a GC and 20 in RR. So I want no OOP for the month (that is my goal).

I haven't done it at Wags yet, but I do it at CVS ALL THE TIME!!! I get the GC for the prescription and use it for my oop. The good thing about Wags is their rebates and they can get refilled. I'm doing this currently at Rite Aid though. I got $48.00 back from August and rolled it into a GC. Now they have an incredible amount of stuff FAR for the week of the 12th. I'll roll them and make more money. Good luck and i know it can be done. You'll get spoiled though with having no actual oop, so use it wisely!

I would have been able to do it but myAug rebate still isn't there. I sent it in through snail mail a few days ago as the online submission got messed up and now I should have sept and will start rolling with it once it is loaded!

I, too, hope that I am at the point where I won't have any OOP - my stockpile has grown over the past few months, so there are fewer things I need. My focus will mostly be on gifts - for family and charity in the upcoming months - it will feel really good if I can do that without an OOP - here we go!

I have just started this too but am expecting a large gift card refund. Chances are I'll spend it sooner than I want to though.

Yup! I do it and it is AWESOME!! The only thing that is irritating is when they have light months on the FAR items... and I end up spending the GC on the RR deals w/o getting much put back onto my GC.

Ok, I have to ask. I have a $35 gc. My stockpile is built up pretty well and I don't really "need" anything. How do I increase my gc $ as I purchase this month's FAR items? How do you maintain no oop month after month? TIA!

yes, although I was able to save a lot of $10 WAG GCs that I still keep as back up from last year's huge P&G RR promo, I've managed to just roll current RRs, use a lot of WAGc combined with MQs, pay balance with ES GC and sometimes, if necessary I have to take out 1 or 2 of the red GCs. But all in all, its been ZERO OOP shopping at WAG for me for 18 months now. How can I not love WAG?

they don't ad match WM $4 or $10 price for generics of thyroid pill so I keep that RX at WM. I buy generic WAG brand omeprazole with RRs, store coupons and ES GC so that is free.

I have been able to roll the ES and the FARs for the last couple of months. I'm going to do it again this month. I don't know about you guys, but there is only so much glade candles and soft scrub products that I can buy. I'm giving away a lot of it too. I sure hope they come out with some new stuff.

Just thinking out loud here-would love to hear your thoughts.

*So, to help keep your oop zero, the best thing to do is use your RR's and get the FAR and build up your GC?

*It also sounds like it is better to have $$$ in the form of your GC rather than in RR's, no?
