I could do multiple transactions at Walgreens to reduce my out of pocket expenses but am at the point that it is not worth the amount of time that takes. One is that to work the transactions the store has to have the items available, which they never do. So, for me, it is worth doing fewer transactions and paying more with cash. Don't let this be too much of a hastle. It took me an hour and a half from leaving home until I returned, and I talked with a lady from church in one store.
