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 $1 P&G Register Reward from last week to start with.
I have five transactions in this week's scenario, but they are quick and easy. I checkout at the cosmetic counter when I'm doing multiple transactions. Transaction usually go a little smoother at that register.
Check out all of this week's Walgreens deals HERE.

I've been following your $5 scenarios, and sometimes they work for me, and other times it doesn't. It must be because I forget a coupon here or there in between the rush of having 5 transactions and a huge line forming behind me. Here's what I scored this week.

Hi Mrs. Fisher - Thanks for the link. I always love seeing what others purchased.
ReplyDeleteTo make multiple transactions easier. I always check out at the Beauty Counter, I put each transaction on a file card & paper clip my coupons for that transaction to it, and make note of any RR I've got coming.
I like it when someone comes up behind me to check out. I'll step aside and let them go ahead. It gives me time to regroup and make sure I've got the next few transactions lined up correctly.
