Walgreens has the $/$$ fever! They issued a $5/$20 last week that made double dipping so much fun, and I guess Walgreens had fun too because there's another $5/$20 to be had this week!
I've pulled up four different transactions that you can do to get the most out of your $5/$20. I like to make my transactions total as close to $20 as possible, and I'm proud to say that the most "over" I went was by $0.48.

Am I going to be the crazy lady doing 4 transactions at Walgreens tomorrow? Most likely not. As I've mentioned before, I'm not a huge fan of RRs, so I really don't see the need to have a total of $18 in RR to my name. I pulled up transaction #2 because I think it'll be pretty cool to get $28 worth of stuff for a mere $2 after RRs, but I don't know if I want to put up with the grief that Walgreens has given me lately in the RR department. I've got a pretty comfortable diaper stockpile so I won't be tripping over myself to get the diapers.
I will definitely be doing transaction #1 because it's a money-maker rebate, and I will probably be doing transaction #4 because I've been dying to try out the PediPaws. I've used dremels to trim nails before and definately want to give PediPaws a try, so I'm glad to see that Walgreens now carries it, which will save me the outrageous $7.99 S&H fee. $15 seems like a lot for a pet care tool, but it costs $6 for both Chloe and Chip to get their nails trimmed. They need it every 2 or 3 weeks, so if it works, I will get my money's worth in about 2 months. The added benefit of buying from Walgreens is that if Chloe freaks out just as much with it as the regular clippers, I can take it back.
I won't be personally doing all of the transactions, so if you end up taking one of mine to the store or have a similar one, I would love to hear from you and share your results!
