My Shopping Trip: Walgreens

OK, so I'm slowly getting it! I'm still spending a bit more out of pocket than I normally would at CVS but I also have to take into consideration that I'm just starting out and trying to build up my Register Rewards.

My goal is to have at least $50 worth to roll around each week like I normally do at CVS!

I started out with $16 Register Rewards from last week. I shopped at 3 different stores (all within 5 miles of each other) because some were out of stock on certain items!

Here is what I bought...
