Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 2/06/11

This is a fun scenario because very few coupons are necessary.  If you haven't played the Register Reward game, this is the perfect week to give it a try. Remember - check out at the beauty counter when you want to do multiple transaction.

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  $5 Register Reward from Unilever to spend on this week's shopping.
