Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 6/28/09

I pick up a lot of merchandise at Walgreens without spending very much money. The trick is to roll Register Rewards and buy what is on sale. There aren't many Register Rewards to roll this week, but you can pick up a lot of food items for very little money.

Here is a scenario to get you started with the Walgreens' game. Take a look at this week's coupon match-ups for details on where to find the coupons.
