Walgreen's Match-Ups - Plan for Week of 9/11-9/17/11 - Charmin - Cascade - Bumble Bee - Colgate - Crest - Dawn - Neutra

A Whole Lot of Merchandise for 64% Less Than Sale Prices

2 Simple Transactions

The P&G Deal -- Get $10 RR When You BUy $30 of Specified Items.

Wish me luck in finding the items I need to make my plan work.  I usually don't care to have RR's that are more than $3 each.  A $10 RR is often challenging for me to use efficiently for rolling the RRs.  But since it is a rarity for me to find any decent "stock-up" prices on Charmin T.P., I decided I would fork over more cash in one transaction than I usually would at Walgreen's (or CVS, for that matter).  Doing so adds a few tubes of good toothpaste, 4 Charmins, 4 Cascades and more to my reserves.
