What $5 Will Buy at Walgreens

I'm trying to keep a Walgreens scenario under $5, but this week you might have to look for some loose change someone dropped in the parking lot or pocket change to make the scenario.

Here are a few ideas of ways to roll your Register Rewards. Take a look at this week's Walgreens coupon match-up for details on where to find the coupons.
