What are IVCs or Instant Value Coupons?
IVCs are the coupons found in the EasySaver booklet along with the rebate offers. These are Walgreens store coupons and can be combined with manufacturer coupons. If you buy more than 1 of an item, the IVC will subtract the coupon amount from each item that you purchase.
What are 7-day coupons?
7 day coupons are found in the weekly store ads. You will not get the advertised sale price for these items unless you have the cashier scan the coupon. These can be stacked with both Manufacturer coupons and Instant Value coupons. If you buy more than 1 of an item, the 7 day coupon will subtract the coupon amount from each item that you purchase.
Can I use a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same item?
Yes. You may use one store coupon and one manufacturer coupon per item.
What is the best order in which to hand the cashier my coupons?
Generally it works best to hand them Register Rewards, then manufacturer coupons, then store coupons. However, some stores require their cashiers to scan the store coupons first and the Register Rewards last.
Can I use 2 coupons on Buy 1 Get 1 Free items?
Usually the answer is yes, but it may depend on your store's individual policies.
Does Walgreens allow overage?
No. The official policy if a coupon is worth more than the price of the item is to adjust the coupon down to the price of the item. You can however get overage by combining a manufacturer coupon and store coupon. Just make sure to give the store coupon last, since store coupons do not beep when overage is given. Again, some stores require their cashiers to take the store coupon first, so your whether or not you get the overage will depend on the individual store policies.

You mentioned that you can stack manufacturer, IVC, and 7-day coupons. The Walgreens I shop at most often (31S and Smith Valley Road in Greenwood) will only allow one manny coupon and one store coupon (either a 7-day OR an IVC) to be stacked together but not all three at one time. I have tried it at that particular store and been told "no" but have not tried it at other stores.....so this may be a YMMV (your mileage may vary) situation.
