Rolling rolling rolling RR's

Last week at Walgreens there were some huge money makers. I used this to my advantage and bought household items that I usually don't have a coupon for, as well as most of Madalynn's Easter basket. The key is to "roll" the register rewards. Now, this can be time consuming, confusing & frustrating, but if you have patience and lots of Walgreens in your area, it can work to your advantage. I am going to list each transaction I did, then total it up at the end.
