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?

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.

Q & A

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."

The exception is when you need something and the W Cash is there for you to use. I noticed that the soda deals are now 3 for $19. I sure hope they go back down. That's way too much.
Those of us that use this method go by what we've spent & what we've earned (points, RRs, ECBs, BC, actually dollars via rebate apps, etc.) as a result. It's only complicated to those not
willing to do the math to see what really is a mm or they simply don't care for this sort of thing. Some people don't care for the math involved they just do deals & that's ok for them. But for people like me, if I do a deal, I need to know how much I'm getting back for doing this.
But an example: Tax. Many people will exclude tax paid in their breakdowns to say something is a .51 mm. Um no. Uncle sam is taking his cut in your deal if it's taxable. And a lot of social media don't report the tax they paid so their deals go negative. Some even cook their totals by stating the full price vs the sale price (actual price paid) to make them seem smart in their deal hunting. They do this to gain people to their accounts too.
As for the $20, I excluded that because you had to do any 3 offers to get it vs the $50 Spend offer I had to complete 6 - $50 spend deals. So I consider that $20 free money vs the Spend $50 each time deal in which I factored that into the $300 they wanted me to spend. Investors go by what they've spent & what they've made as a result. It's not a superiority issue, it's financial common sense.
If I drop $200,000 on a house then sell it for $500,000 minus all applicable taxes, fees, & money I paid/invested, it's going to go negative. That puts me in the mm area. So it's a MM after all the taxes & fees have been settled plus OOP costs. So then I've made a really good investment & plan to continue that trend. Same as deals. There are those of us who invest in these deals. some people do not really care but if they get anything back, ok. But from a financial prospective, if you looking to get your items & make back as much money as possible, you see it from a investor's point of view.
I also but times have changed. Deals aren't like they use to be due to coupon fraudsters. I've taken a different approach on some things & I'm willing to spend money to make it. It has turned out enormously well for me too. I understand those that might not have it so they try to penny pinch & that's okay too.
But for me, if I can make it all back spending OOP, I'm going to do it.

Olay Shea Butter + Peptide facial cleanser is on clearance for $7.99 plus works with the BOGO 50%. The $5/2 DQ came off for it (there is also an insert Q). UPC 7560920259
Garnier Fructis hair care includes the $6.99 items on the sale 2/$4, which is a rare thing. The $3/2 DQ came off (there are other Qs to use). $3 cat printed for buying 2
Burt's Bees kids TP is $3.49, $2 DQ worked
Low stock on Wags plastic bags, buy 1 get 2 free is a good deal
They carry my favorite Lindt chili & dark chocolate. Sale BOGO 40% off. They luckily had two left
I actually earned $6 W cash. I've been out of the loop for a few months.
And another interesting fact, when I lived in PA and used 'store money' to 'pay' for my shopping there was never any tax added. Not sure if that is still true as we moved over five years ago.
And since my hubby had a company car, I also had no expenses for vehicle, gas, etc. We paid a required monthly fee per the IRS to be able to use the car personally, but that was the same amount no matter how much we drove it (or not) so that was another cost I never had to figure into my purchases which can be a factor for others.

I call the gov uncle sam in general. The tax cuts into your deals period.

You can be in agreement with somebody & still be incorrect. You not having tax is the reason you don't have to factor it in. So to agree with someone that couldn't prove me wrong makes your point invalid since our State taxes mostly everything and yours didn't.
If my OOP is $2.32 (.32 being tax) and I get back $3, it's a .68 mm because (to be precise), the sales tax is added to your total & that's .32 out of your pocket. If you get taxed ok, if not great but tax money taken from your earnings counts against your mm. So I'm correct because if that money does not stay in your pocket but goes to "sales tax". it's money out of your pocket and into the hands of the gov. That's the difference between ordinary couponers & those of us that invest heavily into our couponing. Details are important.
If you tried doing the same thing you did years ago in a taxable State such as mine, at that time, you'd understand my point to know I'm correct. But since you didn't have this issue, you see it differently. But if you started up again in a taxable State, you'd understand that you'll have to adjust your couponing to keep up with the changing deals/time.

Effective 9/1/23, Walgreens will no longer be offering additional AARP member benefits to myWalgreens members who had previously linked their memberships.

Someone had asked about Wags giving a discount for AARP membership. I'm assuming because of this message that may not happen again.

I have a question regarding the coupon I have in my account.
I have not shopped at Walgreens for so long so I need some help.
The coupon stated that spend $1 and earn $10 Walgreens cash.
Does it mean I need to purchase anything for $1.00 and I will receive $10 Walgreens cash?
Does anyone receive that coupon in your account?
Thanks so much.
