Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 9/5/10

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 $1 McNeil, $2 Walgreens and $2 Colgate-Palmolive Register Rewards from last week to start with.

There are no money-makers this week at Walgreens, but with this scenario you can still pick up a wide variety of products for very little money.
