By consensus, the weekly Walgreen's Ad is being replaced by this comprehensive thread. Until Walgreen's gives us better deals, we'll be able to follow more easily all the comments in one continuous thread.

Please post any tips, deals, coupon finds to help us all improve our Walgreen's shopping experience.


Thanks to Sugraray for the reminder:

If it is a BUY deal, ex: Buy 2 and earn RR, you can use WCR, RR, MQ, IVC whatever you want and still will earn your reward.
If it is a SPEND deal, ex: Spend $12 earn $5 RR, be careful! You cannot use WCR because that is taken off before it totals your spend. Same with IVC coupons (Walgreens coupons, found in the little paper book and also digital). If you have RR, be sure it is the regular manufacturer RR with a normal large barcode. That is treated like a MQ so you do need an item without another coupon to attach to. The store RR have a small barcode and says Store Coupon and lowers your "Spend" amount.

Important Information not to be Ignored: Updating 8/8/2023 Restarting the Info thread.

If you have an issue in store, first come here and post about it. Do not run off to call Corporate because it can have unitended consequences.


(No longer available in store-The monthly book is in your DQ account coupons)
IVC is the paper coupon book found at the front of the store, new each month. Also available as digital store coupons. These are Walgreens coupons that can be paired- used at the same time as regular MQs.

At Walgreens, you must have one item for each coupon to attach to. For example: you are buying detergent, there is IVC for $1/1 and you have MQ $1/1. That is two coupons, so you need to add an item without a Q as a filler. Often Ramen, candy bar, sometimes tuna or broth.



Abbreviations:

DQs (Digital Coupons found on your account)
OTU (One Time Use)
OFY (Only For You-DQs)
Booster (Points coupons found digitally on your account or printed in store at the register's catalina machine)
PO or BOPIS (Pickup Order or Buy Online Pickup In Store)


Do I earn rewards on prescriptions?
You earn 1% Walgreens Cash rewards on the amount you spend out of pocket in our stores, including the amount you spend for a prescription. A prescription with a $0 copay won't earn Walgreens Cash rewards because you didn't pay anything out of pocket for the prescription. (Varies by State)


What do I need to redeem my Walgreens Cash rewards?
Your email or home address is required to redeem Walgreens Cash rewards. The best way to access personalized deals and additional program benefits is by adding your email address to your profile. - Your zip code is your redemption code.


You can earn 5% Walgreens Cash rewards on all Walgreens branded products. This means anytime you buy a product carrying the Walgreens brand name—including beauty products like facial cleansers or nail polish remover and health essentials like vitamins—you'll earn unlimited 5% Walgreens Cash rewards.

How does Pickup at Walgreens work?
Our Pickup service makes it easy to shop your local store online at Walgreens.com or with the Walgreens App, then pick up your order in as little as 30 minutes.4 Choose your store and shop products on Walgreens.com or the Walgreens App. Then choose curbside, drive-thru or in-store pickup. It's easy! We'll send you a notification email (and text if you opt in) when your order is ready, then visit the store and tap the "I'm here" button in the email or text link to let us know. A team member will bring the order to you.


How do I create a digital Wallet for contactless checkout? (Updated some areas have no access to this)

Join myWalgreens® and make sure you're using the latest version of the Walgreens App. Once you sign in to myWalgreens on the app, select your digital Wallet in the menu to add your credit card. Then you can start enjoying fast, contactless checkout!

Q & A
Credit: Valencia22

KikiandD Q:
"I am not a Walgreen's Extreme Couponer, though I aspire to be. I think you actually have to have a total over the booster threshold to get the points. Like, this week my digital booster amount is $30, so I have to actually spend that. I *think* that you can use register rewards in the store as part of your payment and it will still work, but I haven't gotten to this level yet. Still trying to amass register rewards.
Still a little confused about how it works if you use some Walgreen's bucks but still spend over the amount. I don't think that would work but I could be wrong. But another question, If you use Walgreen's bucks but still spend over $20 out of pocket, will that transaction count on your score card (meaning, do seven transactions of $20 or more in December, and earn an extra $10 in points)?"

Valencia22 A:

Yes, you can use Register Rewards to help cover your amount toward Boosters but you have to make sure that the ones you use say, Manufacture CPN at the top. Those count like coupons. You just have to make sure you have an item for each one to attach to. The Register Rewards that say Store CPN at the top work like store coupons so that amount would count against your total and only one can be used per transaction.

As far as boosters, the digital ones are more flexible to use than the printed ones. Printed ones, you can not use any Wags Cash and still earn the Booster. With the digital offers, as long as your subtotal before manufacture's coupons but after any Wags Cash/StoreCredit/Store Qs used is equal to or greater than the amount of your threshold, you can earn the Booster. To specifically answer your question about your 7 transactions, you don't have to spend $20 cash oop each time. Manufacture's coupons and RRs will count towards that $20. I did a transaction this week that may be a little bit more advanced but hopefully it will give you a better idea of what I am saying:
My Booster Offer was $5 wys $20 so I bought:

3 Snickers Bars $2.64 - $1/2 ip
2 Colgate Renewal $13.98 - $3 dq - $3 dq
2 BIC Razors $9.73 - $5 dq
2 Colgate Adv. $7.98 - $4/2 dq
2 Crest PH $6 - $2 mq - $2 mq
Subtotal: $40.33
I redeemed $20 in Wags Cash so now my total was $20.33 (still enough to earn Booster)
$20.33 - $20 qs = .33 + tax (paid oop)
I got back $9 WC ($5 = Booster, $4 = Colgate) $13 RR ($6 = Colgate Renewal, $4 = BIC and $3 = Crest). I also earned an extra $2 WC because I get 10% back all month for my birthday and I got .75 rebate offer for the Snickers

Wags can be confusing and irritating sometimes. I have had my share of failures but it gets a bit easier over time."

It is up to the store manager, stores can reject price match or printed coupon. I did called corporate and asked before, that's is what they told me. BTW, the store closer to my don't price match and won't accept printer coupon, they won't even let me pick my items, place an order online and ask them to check out the online order.


Price matching is a Corporate policy, stores don't have a say.

My one store told me that I would need to order online to get online price, they won't price match. Is this store right or wrong?

You can try to call corporate and complain and see what they tell you, I did it before and they told me it is up to the store managers, nothing they can do about it.

I don't need to do something I've already done. My statement doesn't change so if you accept what you've been told, ok.

I haven't called Walgreen's CS in quite awhile. I recall them being helpful when it came to missing WC, but I also recall other issues where they'd say it was the store manager's discretion. If others are getting the message that store policy is to match online prices, you might try calling again.

I will say, though, that lots of people are now saying CVS' policy is to match online prices, because CVS does have a 'reason' for modifying a price that says 'match to online'. Reading the CVS Reddit thread though, it is clear corporate added this 'reason' to give stores a way to accomodate customers who were being unreasonable about the differences between online and in store prices. The intent was never to price match all in store prices to those online. If that was their intent, they could just set up their pricing to match on both 100% of the time.

I would think if it as Walgreens intention to have in store prices match online, they also could set up their pricing accordingly.

New Hallmark Fathers' Day cards DQ to load. I had two $3 and one $2
Just a heads-up - I had these loaded and none of them came off on a Father's Day card I bought yesterday (a Hallmark card with a 9 3/4 Harry Potter theme, if anyone wants to avoid this one in particular). I really liked the card, so I got it anyway, but I had the coupons come off no problem on the Mother's Day cards I bought, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

My thoughts exactly. I hate how the pricing differs online and in-store and find it really frustrating, but it's obviously done on purpose. Many times, I stand in the aisle at the store and place an in-store pickup order. They usually have it ready within 10-15 minutes, right about when I'm ready to check out with my other things. laugh out loud

I'm not sure if I'm just late to the party on this one, but this weekend i b o t t a stopped accepting my Walgreens submissions for anything that had a promotion or a coupon. This was not the case last weekend. Argh.

My experience was a bit different. I bought 4 Father's Day cards. I had 4 of the $3 dq clipped. All 4 came off but they are still in my account and they are still working.

By this logic they should just reduce the pricing on items that have store coupons rather than make you clip the coupon and scan the card. I look at the price matching as a bonus for those that are willing to do it (much like using a rewards card, clipping coupons, using reward monies, doing rebates, etc.).

Just like almost all retailers, they want you to have a card that gives you tracking ability and insight into what will cause you to come back in and shop with them, so I never even expect a retailer who has a loyalty card to back track on that.

Quote from crazycool :
Anyone else have problem that RR didn't print out if you price match online for store purchases? It happen to me twice now. For this week, I purchased head and shoulders at store and price match online, $4 RR didn't print.
Quote from Big.Cat :
Very doubtful it's related to the price match. I mean, clearance stuff still prints the RR. If it's wyb quantity, it should print even with a price match. More likely the Catalina printer just wasn't working.
No, it's related to the price match.

Clearance the RR prints because it's the non-modified price. Every single time they modify the price on an item it automatically inhibits the RR from printing.

Catalina will fulfill it via their missing coupon request form every time but the register won't print it anytime they MOD the price on a RR-qualifying item.​

I dont think you are getting my larger point. It isnt the specific hoop they make you jump through, it's that they make you jump through a hoop at all (whatever the motivations) rather than just using a "fair pricing model". To me that means whatever savings modes they make available are fair game, if I am willing to jump through that particular hoop.

My store wouldn't price match online.

Their brand epsom salt in store 6.99, online 4.99

Also adding.
I got mystery deals of $10 when you spend $1 eq on acct the past 2 weeks but nothing this week.
The epsom salt transaction gave me a $5 off of $5 store register reward.
