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.

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."

At WAGs, 24.99, $5 monthly book, $3/2dQ (not planning to get 2)
I have 9.90 in rewards, what do I need to spend to get it to $10?
Will I be able to use the $10 immediately after?
If I shop 5/1 (Senior day), will the 20% come off before or AFTER the monthly book Q?
TYSM for assistance & hope bumping the thread is useful to someone.
Has anyone done the Neutrogena deal at Walgreen's this week?
Buy 2 get 1 FREE*
Neutrogena Cleansers, Towelettes or Treatments
with myWalgreens
Earn $10 In-store rewards
when you spend $20 or more**
If you use the $5 coupon and the total goes under $20, do you still get the $10 in store rewards?
Thank you!
FREE $10 Walgreens Gift Card
with myWalgreens and purchase of any two Cracker Barrel, $50 Google Play, DoorDash or H&M Gift Cards. °° Limit 2 per person, except in NM.
I was adding a $20 item to my cart that I actually needed and someone else must have bought the only 2 half ounce jars as they were removed from my cart, so here is what I did instead:
2 jars retinol cream 1.7 ounce @ $24.99 each
$20 item I already needed
Total $69.98
Used May15 for 15% off (May20 took too much off)
Total $59.48
Coupons:
$20/2 Olay face cream
$15 WC WYB $45 P&G beauty
$12 WC WYS $60 booster
Paid $39.48
Got back $28.51 WC
So my final cost after WC was half of the $20 item that I needed anyways.
I had a problem with wags pharmacy pricing, does anyone have insight?
No insurance. Used a coupon on first fill, $60.
3 months later, same coupon is up to $120.
I pulled coupons from 2 sites that said $85, and wags pharmacy puts in the codes and gets $120-160, not the 85 that it should be. I tried a 3rd site and the price on coupon is lower than when wags puts the code in. Of course the clerk just says she's not responsible for the prices.
I have been using coupons on/off for many years, and NEVER had one not show the correct price when apply it. I can use other pharm, but they are all higher, but if wags isn't showing me the accurate price, they aren't higher prices.

Irish Spring 5 in 1 body wash on clearance for $2.79. Only 2 at my store, but added Softsoap body wash on clearance for $2.29 and $5/3 came off the set.
Aveeno body wash on clearance for $4.29 and BOGO 50% off. $3/1 coupon.
St Ives body wash on clearance for $3.49. Bought 2 and got $3 RR and tracked toward 800 points on Fetch.
Lots of Haribo gummy bear types on clearance 75% off. Lindt bars were also 75% off and rang up $1.79.
10 count bath bomb canister was on clearance for $3.29, which was 75% off.
My ibotta reset the Cutter $0.75/1 and my store still had bottles on clearance for $1.09, so I grabbed 5 more bottles, mainly because it completed a $10 ibotta bonus for me. This product is a great donation item for shelters and I like to stick a bottle in men's Christmas stockings.
I broke my shopping into 4 transactions and rolled the RRs. I spent $23 in rewards points, $0.85 in cash and got back $13.75 from ibotta.

But I pulled the coupon same day for goodRx and singlecare at wags for the refill, and wags said the price was more in there system with those codes. Prices can change, but not 2 different sources within the same day.
I am checking coupons EVERY THREE MONTHS on a bunch of meds and I do go wherever the best price is, but will be skipping wags since I had this problem. Very time consuming and mentally draining but considering all the weirdness with deal shopping at wags store, I should have expected this with the pharmacy
