Walgreens $100 Challenge - Week 13, Trips 2 & 3

I think this week may be one of those weeks where I'm at Walgreens every. single. day. This week is also a great example of how "rolling" Register Rewards (meaning: using a RR from one item to pay for another item that also produces a RR) and multiple transactions can result in some serious savings!
