Walgreens: Week of 5/3

Walgreens is already frustrating me with their new "concept" for customer loyalty. Remember they did away with the monthly rebate program, and increased their Register Reward deals. It was supposed to be better for us as customers. HAH!! Based on the first week, that is. We'll see if it gets better. Essentially, Walgreens didn't think that putting FREE all over the pages of their flyer was going to make the average person come into the store and buy that product. Why do I say that??? Because by Monday morning most of the stores near me were completely OUT of the free after RR items --- and they were NEVER restocked during the week.
So -- we'll give Walgreens another try this week (because when its good, its very, very good) -- but they might join Walmart and Target on my list of "not worth the time and trouble because the deal probably won't work out". We'll see.
