Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 10/11/09

My plan is to never spend more that about $5 a week at Walgreens. Some weeks I can bring home a ton of items, other weeks not so much.

Here is a scenario if you're starting out with no Register Rewards.

Take a look at this week's Walgreens Deals for where to find the coupons.
