Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 9/12/10

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

If you are following my Walgreens $5 Scenarios, you have a $2 Carma Laboratories Register Reward from last week to start with.

The Dulcolax printable coupon is for $8.00. Walgreens Coupon Policy states a coupon will be reduced to the product's cost. Take a copy of the policy with you.

In your first transaction, check to see how the cashier handled this coupon. Some cashiers might push it through for the full value. If your cashier handles the Dulcolax coupon this way, you will need to purchase another item in the second transaction to cover the overage.
