Walgreens $5 Shopping Scenario - Week of 9/16/12

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. 

Check out at the Cosmetic Counter. Multiple transaction always go smoother at a less busy register.

If you are following my Walgreens $5 Scenario's you have a $1 P&G Register Reward to start this week's shopping.

Check out all of the week of 9/16 Walgreens Deals.

Yes, Balance Rewards start this week, but I'm staying away from them on my $5 Scenario until more is know of how using coupons will affect the points.
