My Best Walgreens Haul Yet 5/11/11

So, for whatever reason, I got several emails last night and this morning asking how I was able to save so much at Walgreens.  Here is what I did...

So I totally surprised myself when I went to Walgreens yesterday.  I took careful attention to detail, which, I must admit, I don't always do.  I took my time and this time it paid off!  After spending maybe 1 - 2 hours MAX prepping, I saved a ton of $.  And better yet, out of the 2 transactions I ended up doing, the latter one I walked out of the store with money, or rather, money is being paid back to me.  So, to share my success, here is the scenarios that I used. Everything listed here is what coupons I used, the sales for the Walgreens Ad for the week of 5/8/11 and the totals at the end of each transaction is what was printed on my receipt....
