Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 12/19/10

The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll your Register Rewards from week to week.  Some weeks there are a ton of Register Reward deals, other weeks not so many. 

If you budget $5 to spend  at Walgreens weekly you can save a ton of money - even if there are not great  Register Reward deals every week. 

If you are following my Walgreens $5 Scenarios,  you have a $1 Reckitt Benckiser Register Reward to start this week.
