Hi. I'm Sam with Grocery Coupon Network. And I wanted to tell you today about the Walgreens
Instant Value Coupon Book. A lot of times we refer to this as the Walgreens IVC Book.
And it comes out monthly. Most Walgreens have it when you walk in the door by the weekly
ads. And you can see each month -- it tells you how many dollars in savings there are
inside the book. This month, August, they've got $370.00. Now, that includes all the coupons,
and there's also rebates inside the book.
So the coupons are all store coupons, and sometimes there's some really good ones that
you can tear up. For example, there's always candy coupons, school supply coupons. Their
paper towel coupon is a great one because these are cheap at Walgreens and, occasionally,
they'll have a Register Reward deal. But there's all sorts of coupons: laundry detergent, cold
medicine. So they're all Walgreens coupons that you can pair with a manufacturer's coupon
to get more savings.
Now, it makes for an even greater deal if you can pair that with a manufacturer's coupon
or a sale, and Register Rewards. So that can get you a really good cheap or free item.
So there's also mail-in rebates in here. And there's a little section that you can fill
out for the mail-in rebates. Usually it's kind of in the center of the book. And if
you don't want to fill that out -- here's the rebate section in this book. If you don't
want to fill that out and mail it in, you can also do it online.
Now, there's a perk to the rebate program. If you choose to get your rebate on a Walgreens
gift card, you get an additional 10 percent back, which makes for a good amount. Some
of these rebates are $5.00, $15.00. So if you get a $15.00 rebate you'd get an additional
$1.50 on your gift card. And then you use those at the register. It's just like gift
cards, and it'll take the money out and it'll use what you have. And then you can pay the
difference with another card or cash, however you want to pay.
And so these books are just a great way to save money. And if you're new at couponing
and you may not have noticed them before or may have known that they were coupon books.
When I first saw them, I wasn't really sure what they were or how they worked. But I wanted
to share that with you today so you know how they work when you go to your store.
They can be a great way to save even more money, and there's often valuable coupons
in there. And you'll see on posts that we do on Grocery Coupon Network that will say,
"You can find this coupon in the August IVC Book." So if you're seeing that, this is what
we're talking about. And use this IVC Book to save even more at Walgreens and see the
best deals at Walgreens on our posts on Grocery Coupon Network.
