Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 7/18/10

The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll your Register Rewards from week to week.

If you are following my weekly Walgreens $5 Scenarios, you have no Register Reward from last week to start with. But, there are a couple of little money-makers this week to start building your Register Rewards again.

Check out all of this week's Walgreens deals HERE.

Transaction #1
purchase:
(1) Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste $3.49
(1) Pilot G2 Pen $1.19
use:
(1) Colgate coupon (7/11/10 SS) - $1.00
(1) Pilot printable coupon -$1.00
Walgreens coupon in July coupon book for Pilot G2 Pens -$1.00
= $1.68 + tax out of pocket and Receive a $3.50 Colgate-Palmolive Register Reward

Note: You should be able to use both a manufacturer and Walgreens coupon for the Pilot Pens. If you have the cashier ring the manufacturer coupon first, you will end up will a small amount of overage. Some Walgreens will not ring up the coupons in this order.

Transaction #2
Repeat the 1st transaction
Now you will have (2) $3.50 Colgate-Palmolive Register Rewards

Note: You need to separate the Colgate purchases. Only one Register Reward per offer will print per transaction.
