Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 8/1/10

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

If you are following my Walgreens $3 Scenarios, you have a $3 Register Reward from last week to start with.

This week's $5 Scenario is a little over the $5, but you spend less than $7 and get back $8 in Register Rewards.
