What $5 Will Buy at Walgreens

Week of 6/7/09

I've saved a ton of money at Walgreens by rolling Register Rewards, but there is also a ton of things to remember when rolling them. I've listed a possible scenario to help give you some ideas.

I use Ramen noodles as a filler - number of coupons used cannot exceed number of items purchased. Sometimes. I can find a clearance item for even less money than Ramen noodles.

Take a look at this week's Walgreens coupon match-up for details on where to find the coupons.
