Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 1/16/11

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  $2 EOS and a $2 Kellogg's Register Reward to spend on this week's shopping.

Check out all of this week's Walgreens deals HERE.

Transaction #1
purchase:
(4) Sinex (20 ct.)  @ $5 each = $20.00
(2) Mars Candy  @ $0.89 each  = $1.78 (needed as filler to use RR)
use:
(4) $4 Sinex coupon (12/26/10 P&G) - $16.00
Walgreens in-ad coupon for Mars Candy -$0.80
Kellogg's Register Reward from last week - $2.00
EOS Register Reward from last week - $2.00
= $0.98 + tax out of pocket and get a $10 P&G Register Reward

Transaction #2
pruchase:
(1) Joint Juice Glucosamine Chondroitin (20 oz) $10.00
(2) Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese @$1.67 = $3.34
(1) Dawn Dish Liquid $2.29
use:
(1) Joint Juice printable coupon -$1.00
(2) $1 Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese coupon (1/16/11 SS) - $2.00

Walgreens in-ad coupon for Dawn Dish Liquid -$1.30
Register Reward from Previous Transaction -$10.00
