Walgreens Shopping Trip 8/3/10

by

I had a $5 Register Reward that expired today, and I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I put a list together and headed out! What a trip. I had to take my three kids with me and that was crazy. They were so tired after the mess and the checkstand that they were all pretty much screming and crying. But, we got it all done and out to the car, and got them calmed down, so I went over the receipts since it didn’t seem to add up right…AND IT DIDN’T!!! GRRR. So we all got back out, and went in and went to a different register and the lady there was great. She knew exactly what she was doing, and I was in and out. So here are the details…
