Walgreens: 8/21/2011 - 8/27/2011

I'm a little peeved today because I did not get a Walgreens flier in my paper! Nor did I get one from CVS. It reminds me to mention to you guys that if this ever happens to you, you can always pick one up in the store. But waiting to get to the store does not help if you want to look at it ahead of your shopping trip. So, you always look up the flier online at the Walgreens and CVS websites.

I am going to implement a new system with slightly different listing style and some color coding to help with the fluidity of utilizing this shopping guide. It might take some trial an error over the next few weeks, so feedback is greatly appreciated.

Instead of listing just a transaction guide I will list each item individually along with the sale associated with the item. Then I will explain how to "roll" the sales on these items with transaction examples listed towards the bottom of the page.

Also, I will designate free or money-maker items to highlight the best deals this week. Additionally, the total at the bottom of the product will indicate the amount you will have to pay for the item NOT considering any Register Rewards or Rebates you will receive after purchase. However, I will include a "It's like paying 'x' for 'x'" to demonstrate the value after the rewards and rebates. For example, if you were to buy the Glucose monitor this week, you'd have to pay $12.99 for it. But then you would eventually get that money back in the form of a rebate, so "It's like paying $0 for 1."
