Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 8/15/10

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 $4 Baush & Lomb and a $2 Energizer Register Reward from last week to start with.

Even though it's not the best Register Reward week at Walgreens, you can still bring home some great deals and only spend pocket change.

If you didn't have the $6 in Register Rewards to start with, don't bother purchasing the pocket folders, since you don't need fillers. You still will only spend $5.97 with this scenario for a 84% savings.

NOTE: Not all Walgreens are coupon friendly. They should accept a B1G1 coupon on a B1G1 sale and accept both a B1G1 coupon and $ off coupon when you buy 2 products. But, don't be surprised if your store won't. Walk away and find a Walgreens that will. Remember, it takes a strong backbone and thick skin to coupon.
