Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 5/23/10

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

Last week's Walgreens Scenario left you with a $4.50 Register Reward. Here is how I would use it this week. If you're not starting with the Register Reward, this is still a good scenario to get you started at Walgreens.
