1st Walgreens extreme couponing experience

Ok, this was my 1st time REALLY couponing @ walgreens. I’ve used a couple of coupons here and there for a few items at this store before but nothing this complicated where I’ve had to rollover my RR to the next transaction. Got some pretty good deals but I think I’ll stick to CVS next time to save time, gas and trouble with RR & filler items ;(

I don’t think I’ll be back to walgreens unless they have a killer deal. Just too much trouble alternating products into different transactions to get RR. Not to mention trying to find filler items to match up with your M.Q. Lastly, they were not as coupon friendly as CVS. I will save myself the headache and pay a lil’ more at CVS if I have to 🙂
