**Don’t forget that Register Rewards expire very quickly and if you let them expire, you are basically throwing away money. If you are concerned you will let them expire, I would put your RRs towards paper products like toilet paper and paper towels which are hard to get dirt cheap! Huggies Diapers are a great deal when combined with manufacturer coupons which is a great option for moms of little ones! Just make sure to grab filler items for those extra coupons!
