Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 2/12/12

The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more. If you budget $5 per week, you will save a ton of money.  But, buy what you can use and not just what is on sale.

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 $2 St  Joseph and a $2 Johnson & Johsnon Register Reward to start this week's shopping.
