Another good shopping opportunity! Walgreens is offering $5 off of a $20 purchase on Friday, October 3rd and Saturday, October 4th. I think that these coupons are pretty easy to use, provided that the store is well-stocked! (And remember, most stores will enforce the fine print that your total must be $20.00 or more before tax and after all coupons.)

A good way to get added value from the coupon is to use it on items which produce Register Rewards. (Check out a fantastic scenario at Common Sense With Money and an easy one at Deal Seeking Mom. More possibilities at Blissfully Domestic.) I'm really proud of Scenario 2, also; hope you got multiples of the 9/28 paper!
