Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 10/30/11

The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more.

I suggest checking out at the Cosmetic Counter. Multiple transaction always go smoother at a less busy register.

If you are following my $5 Scenario's you have a $4 Colgate-Palmolive and $1 Kimberly-Clark Register Reward to start this week's shopping.

Check out all of this week's Walgreens Deals.
