Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 6/6/10

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

If you are following my weekly Walgreens $5 Scenarios, you have a $5 Register Reward from last week to start with. If you have no Register Reward, this is a great scenario to get started shopping at Walgreens.

St Louis didn't get the $3 John Frieda coupon in this weekend's SmartSource insert, but if you are lucky to be in a part of the country that did, your scenario is even better.
