Walgreen's: Rolling those RR's 10/01/09

Went to Walgreen's to roll my RR's the best I could and I ended up with a LOT of freebies and Money-makers!!!!

2 Den-tek Floss picks $$2.79 ea - $1.00/1 MC x 2 - $2.00 RR x 2 = $2 FREE + $0.42 MM
(these didn't want to print a RR, so Michelle took $2.00 off one transaction to make up for the one that didn't print, and made the second one $0.79 before my coupon -- so in the end it still worked out as planned)
