Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 9/11/11

The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more.

 I suggest checking out at the Cosmetic Counter. Multiple transaction always go smoother at a less busy register.

If you are following my $5 Scenario's you have a $3 Colgate-Palmolive Register Reward to start this week's shopping.
