Walgreens Store Coupon Deals

Notes on Walgreens store coupons

Walgreens store coupons can be found in the 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.

9.9-14oz. M&Ms are 2-for-$5. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 store coupon from the IVC book. Stack that with two $1 coupons from the 4/3 RP. You'll pay $2 for two, or $1 each!

Balance Rewards Deals

Notes on Balance Rewards points

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. If you allow your points to accrue, they are worth more toward a larger total (must use all points in the same transaction to enjoy this perk):

$10 10,000 points
$20 18,000 points
$35 30,000 points
$50 40,000 points

Your points expire 3 years 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.

$3.49 Opti-Free and Clear Care

Opti Free and Clear Care 10-12oz. solutions are $8.99. Buy two and get 3000 Balance Rewards points ($3.) Use two $4 coupons from the 5/8 SS or printables. Pay $9.98 and get 3000 points back ($3.) That's $6.98 for two, or $3.49 each.

Walgreens Register Rewards Deals

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.

$1.75 Ziploc

Ziploc 14-24ct. freezer and storage bags, 90ct. sandwich bags and 2-3ct. containers are all 2-for-$5.50. Buy two and get $1 Register Rewards. Use the $1-off-2 from the 5/15 SS, 5/8 SS, or a $1-off-2 printable for bags printable, slider bags printable, or a containers printable. Pay $4.50 and get $1 back, making this $3.50 for two, or $1.75 each.
