Walgreens Scenarios 8/28/11 – 9/03/11

It’s starting to slow down a little at Walgreens. Not as many deals as we’ve seen in past weeks but still some great savings! This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Register Rewards at Walgreens. If you have Register Rewards to use, that will give you more options. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your RRs from one week to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

**Don’t forget that Register Rewards expire very quickly and if you let them expire, you are basically throwing away money. If you are concerned you will let them expire, I would put your RRs towards paper products like toilet paper and paper towels which are hard to get dirt cheap!
