Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 5/27/12

The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more. If you budget $5 per week, you will save a ton of money.

Check out at the Cosmetic Counter. Multiple transaction always go smoother at a less busy register.

If you are following my $5 Scenario's you have a $1.50 Reckitt Benckiser Register Reward to start this week's shopping.
