Some information on Walgreens/Coupon Policy

As a customer-focused retailer, Walgreens encourages the use of coupons by our customers in our retail stores, in accordance with the following guidelines.

Guidelines:

General

  • All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier at the time of checkout.
  • Walgreens does not accept expired coupons.
  • Coupons and their face value cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards.
  • Competitor coupons are not accepted at Walgreens.
  • Walgreens cannot accept coupons for items not carried in our stores.
  • The number of manufacturer coupons, including Register RewardsTM manufacturer coupons, may not exceed the number of items in the transaction. The total value of the coupons may not exceed the value of the transaction. Sales tax must be paid, if required by state law.
  • Any coupon offer not covered in these guidelines will be accepted at the discretion of Walgreens management.

Sale Items

  • Walgreens will accept manufacturer coupons for an item that is on sale.
  • In the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Walgreens will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons.

Multiple Coupons

  • When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer.
  • The coupon amount must be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. (For example, a $5.00 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value).
  • When purchasing multiple items, Walgreens accepts multiple identical coupons for multiple qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers, unless a limit is specified. Management reserves the right to limit the quantity of items purchased.

Buy One, Get One Free Coupons

  • When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.
  • Sales tax must be paid for any Buy One, Get One Free coupon offers, if required by applicable state laws.

Thanks to Marty for the break down how how a transaction should look at Walgreens:

QUESTION WAS: I have a question / comment….Walgreens has Scott naturals paper towels on sale for 5.00. There’s an in store coupon for 1.00 and mnfcr coupon for a dollar and I had 2.00 up rewards or basically free money from my last trip. When I got to the register I had two coupons and my up reward money an the lady I instantly told me I can’t use all my coupons before she rang anything up!? I explained to her one was an in store coupon the other a mnfcr coupon and then my “up” money. She called the mgr over and both told me I could not use any of them together including my “up” reward money!? I seem to meet a lot of defiance when trying to extreme coupon on my area!?

Answer:

Ups are Riteaid but I assume you mean Register Rewards (RR) right? You would need a “filler” item for the RR b/c it is a manufacturer coupon as well and you need an item for each mq. Walgreens policy IS to allow you to use both mqs and wags… qs together BUT if you dont give it in the right order it will beep and an uneducated cashier will think its b/c you cant do that. For the transaction above you can go back to the register with your Scott paper towels and one “filler” this can be anything for example this week cadbury eggs are .39 So, one pkg of paper towels $5 and one cadbury egg .39 = $5.39 + tax then you will hand over your $1 Scott MQ and THEN your $2 RR and THEN your walgreens $1 Scott coupon from the mnthly book. You will then pay $1.39 + tax

    Quick Question – I have a $5 RR to use by today. It says compliments of P&G (I bought the Gilette ProGlide Razor last week). I know I can use the RR on my purchase of Gilette Body Wash….question is….Will my $3 RR print out from the Gilette Body Wash deal since it is also a P&G product?  Thanks so much. Walgreens is very difficult to understand sometimes :-)

    Can you use multiple identical coupons from the Monthly Savings book? Someone told me they thought you could only use one like coupon from the book per transaction to prevent people from just stock piling the books. Then I did notice the coupons say “Limit one coupon per customer per offer” … Thanks!

      One coupon will take off regardless you buy 1 item or 20 items. One coupon takes care of it all
