5 Easy Steps to Save Money at Walgreen
1. You will receive personal coupons based on your shopping history
Once you sign up for the Walgreens account your purchases will be tracked both online and instore. Walgreens tracks your spending habits and will offer exclusive discounts to you based on your transactions. Since I have diaper aged children, a lot of my discounts are for baby and household related items such as diapers and beauty products.
2. Exclusive myWalgreens coupons that can be used along with Manufacture coupons.
Manufacturing coupons are available to everyone however once a month Walgreens releases the monthly coupons that can be used in conjunction (coupon term you will see used commonly is Stacking) with the manufacture coupon.
3. Walgreens Cash:
myWalgreens members can earn Walgreens Cash with every purchase. As I previously mentioned above, every purchase will yield up to 5% cash back. But you can also earn more through clipping coupons that are available in your Saving tab. You can also learn more about these opportunities in their weekly ad. Let your Walgreens Cash accumulate and redeem them for a discount at the register.
4. Register Rewards:
Register Rewards is like Walgreens Cash however it is a printable coupon. This coupon can be a specific dollar amount off a purchase most common is $5 off of a purchase of $5 or more. This coupon has to be used instore and can be used a cash. Another type of register reward is a percentage off of a next purchase such as 20% off of your next purchase. These coupons DO expire. Here is Today’s Tip: If you are expecting a register reward and you are not sure if you will have time to use it in the future, hold an item or two and use the reward in that transaction.
5. Checking Weekly Ads
Walgreens displays their weekly ads on their homepage checking to see what items are on sale can help optimize your shopping experience. Keep an eye out for new promotions and discounts available through the app, as offers are frequently updated to reflect current deals and seasonal promotions. The easiest way is to turn on your notifications. Deals can vary by the day Walgreens is known for having midweek promotions.
Tips for Best Shopping Outcomes
To make the most of the savings potential offered by the Walgreens app, consider the following tips:
Strategically redeeming your rewards. The most important tip is knowing when to use your Walgreens cash. Walgreens cash is great and can lower your final cost however it can also prevent you from earning your register rewards. You generally cannot combine the two. Keep this in mind when purchasing items.
Staying Organized: Walgreens is known for having multiple coupons for the same products. I have seen this mostly with household items such as Crest toothpaste. Only one manufacturing coupon can be used per item. Knowing which coupon to add for the best outcome can make all the difference. You can do this by signing up for our Newsletter for saving Notifications along with checking our site every Sunday and Wednesday for Walgreens Scenarios.
Happy Shopping!
