Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 9/26/10

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 $5 Scenarios,  you have a $1 P&G Register Reward from last week to start with.

I have five transactions in this week's scenario, but they are quick and easy.  I checkout at the cosmetic counter when I'm doing multiple transactions.  Transaction usually go a little smoother at that register.
