Whether you’re new to Walgreens or you’re a regular shopper, here are a few shopping hacks to help you stock up on the products you need without paying the full price.
Become a myWalgreens Member
In case you’re not new to Walgreens, you’re probably familiar with the retailer’s Balance Rewards program, which was the store’s loyalty program. That program has been replaced with myWalgreens, which is similar in many ways to Balance Rewards. It is free to join, and it will help you earn rewards and thus save when shopping at Walgreens.
Some of the benefits of this program include the possibility to save by automatically unlocking sale prices and access to only-for-you deals. Just like with the previous loyalty program, with myWalgreens, you’ll get many chances to earn points that you can redeem and use for future purchases.
You can earn 1% Walgreens Cash rewards per every $1 you spend as well as 5% Walgreens Cash rewards per $1 spent on Walgreens-branded products. $1 rewards will get you 1,000 points, $5 rewards will earn you $5,000, and so on. Once you have enough points and want to use them, you can redeem your rewards instantly at checkout and thus dwarf your payments.
Walgreens App & Coupons
Most, if not all, major retailers offer customers the possibility to shop online and through their app. Walgreens is no exception. What’s great besides being able to shop no matter where you are and get your must-haves delivered to your door is that the Walgreen app can help you save even further.
If you don’t have the Walgreens app installed, you might want to consider downloading and installing it. You will also have to register an account in order to benefit from its advantages. One of them is the many coupons you can clip right within the app. Therefore, make sure to check the Paperless Coupons section before your next shopping session and clip the ones of interest.
Coupons are released regularly and cover a wide variety of products, so there are great chances for you to find something that meets your needs, priced lower with the available coupons, including the Walgreens Photo Coupon Deals available each week.
Plus, Walgreens accepts manufacturer’s coupons that can be combined with the store’s weekly deals, so make sure to check the Sunday paper for such coupons. To save even further, you can stack manufacturer’s coupons with Walgreens store coupons and Walgreens Cash promotions. Terms and conditions apply, so make sure to check if the coupons you have can be combined with other offers available at Walgreens. For example, BOGO deals can’t be combined with percent-off total purchase store coupons.
Weekly Ads
To help you save even further, Walgreens releases weekly ads that feature various sales on selected merchandise. The flyer can also be accessed online so that you can easily see if there’s something of interest included in the latest deals. You will typically find BOGO Free and BOGO 50% OFF deals, rewards offers, and special prices, as well as many products ranging from groceries to personal care.
Online Deals
If you’re more into online shopping, whether because you’re short on time or you want to avoid crowded places, Walgreens online site is the go-to store as it also offers online-exclusive deals. Make sure to check this section as it features a rich selection of products and various deals.
At the time of writing, online deals included BOGO FREE and BOGO 50% Off deals on vitamin and supplements, discounts of up to 50% on fragrances, $5 off $25 cough cold purchases, up to 40% off select Drive Medical products, and 30% off prescription glasses and sunglasses.
What’s more, when you order online and spend $35 or more, you also benefit from free standard shipping. Plus, you can also order your must-have products online and have them delivered to the store of choice for free. Terms and conditions apply, so make sure to read the store’s shipping policy.
Sign up for Exclusive Deals & Buy Clearance Items
To make sure you’re informed of the latest deals, you can also sign up for the Walgreens newsletter. You will thus receive exclusive offers, periodic deals, and promo codes for your photo needs, and weekly updates on the latest in-store and online-exclusive deals, to name a few.
