Notes on Walgreens store coupons and electronic coupons

Walgreens store coupons can be found in the monthly Instant Value Coupon (IVC) coupon book in the front of the store (small, about checkbook-sized) which comes out each month. You can also load the store coupons to your Balance Rewards card online at Walgreens' website.

You only need one Walgreens store coupon per item at Walgreens. A store coupon for $1.00 off Scope mouthwash will take $1 off every bottle you buy in the same shopping trip. Store coupons can be stacked with manufacturer coupons for additional savings.

There are also manufacturer ecoupons available to load to your card at Walgreens.com. Electronic manufacturer coupons cannot be stacked with paper manufacturer coupons.

Walgreens Balance Rewards points accrue on your Balance Rewards card when you buy featured items in the ad each week. Every 1000 points is worth $1.00. You can "cash out" (spend) your Balance Rewards points in increments of $1.00 too.

1000 points = $1.00
2000 points = $2.00
3000 points = $3.00
4000 points = $4.00
5000 points = $5.00

Your points expire 12 months after they are earned or if an account has been inactive for 6 months. Learn more about Balance Rewards at this link.

Register your card at Walgreens' site to receive 10 points for every $1 spent in store too.

.99 Crest toothpaste

Crest 3D White toothpaste or selected Oral B toothbrushes are $2.99. Buy two and get $4 in Register Rewards. This drops the price to .99 each.

Buy 2 Cold Get $3 Register Rewards

Buy two participating cough and cold products and get $3 in Register Rewards. Best bets from the ad:

Walgreens 150-200ct. cough drops - $5.99

Walgreens cold and flu, cough, sinus, or mucus relief - $8.99

Notes on Register Rewards

You will only receive one Register Reward per offer per transaction. Example: A name-brand box of cereal generates a $1 Register Reward. Buying three identical boxes will not generate three $1 rewards. You cannot use Register Rewards to pay for items made by the same manufacturer. This will prevent the next set of Register Rewards from printing.

Example: I have a $1 Register Reward that I received buying Crest. If I use it to buy more Crest, the register will not generate another reward, as the first Crest reward prevents it from printing. Now, if I used a Crest Reward to buy Colgate, a Colgate Reward would print. I could then use that to buy Crest, and so on.

You can receive multiple Register Rewards in the same transaction, provided they are separate offers. I can buy a box of cereal that generates a Register Reward, a tube of toothpaste that generates a Register Reward, and a bottle of shampoo that generates a Register Reward -- all in the same transaction -- as long as they are different offers in the same ad.

Deals Disclaimer

I'm human. On occasion, I may make errors or miss a deal. I write each matchup list personally, and I try to make each store's matchup as accurate as possible. Coupons I've linked at the time of writing may hit their print limits over the course of a week -- that's beyond my control. However, if you spot an error in my math or in a deal, or you spot a deal that I missed, please feel free to post below and I'll get it corrected. :)
