Couponing at Walgreens
-
Walgreens, is an American company that operates as the second-largest pharmacy store chain in the United States behind CVS Health. It specializes in filling prescriptions, health and wellness products, health information, and photo services.
-
Walgreens offers many ways to help you save by allowing you to use paper & digital manufacture coupons, My Walgreens digital coupons, Paper Coupons from News Papers, Walgreens Cash & Register Rewards.
*Read Walgreens Coupon Policy HERE.

MyWalgreens digital coupons replaced the former IVC paper booklet that used to be available in-store. They are single use and are store coupons that can be used with manufacturer coupons. These will also attach to each of the items that qualify in the one transaction.
Example: There if there was a MyWalgreens coupon for Scott paper products for $1.25 off and you had 3 in your transaction, then $3.75 would come off.
-
You can use these coupons by clipping them like your other digital coupons. They will clearly say “MyWalgreens” on the digital coupon.
These are a great way to save because you can combine them with a manufactures coupon (paper or digital) to help you get a lower OOP (out of pocket) price..
-
A Manufacturer Coupon is a coupon released by the manufacturer of the product. These coupons say “manufacturer” and should be accepted at any store that accepts manufacturer coupons.
-
YES! This will help you save even more! When searching for a really good deal, it’s typical to look for a product that has both coupons attaching.
Example: Scott toilet paper and paper towels $5 each but you have a $1/1 Scott manufacturer coupon and a $1.25 off Scott My Walgreens coupon. If you bought say 2 Scott items that would be $10 - $1 - $2.50 = 6.50 total for the two Scott items.
-
Wags Cash used to be called Balance Reward Points. For every 1,000 points earned it was equivalent to $1.
I like to think of Wags Cash as Store Cash for “trying” a product. I’ve sometimes even called it a “Walgreens Savings Account”.
You can use Wags Cash on your regular every day purchases (except: gift cards, alcohol, beer, wine, tobacco products, snus, lottery etc.). You can spend up to $100 per day with a max of $50 on a single transaction.
Walgreens cash can only be redeemed in: $1 / $2 / $3 / $4 / $5 / $10 / $20 / $50 increments.
*NOTE*:
Walgreens Cash can and will expire. The Wags Cash that you earn can be used as soon as you get it BUT it will expire 12 months to the day that you received it.
Example: Earned $10 Wags Cash on Jan. 11, 2023 and will expire on Jan, 11, 2024.
-
Register Rewards are FREE money, but they are treated as manufacturer/store coupons. This is because they get reimbursed by the manufacturer of whatever product you have to buy to get the reward.
Register Rewards are also subject to Walgreens coupon policy, just like any other manufacturer coupon.
You can use a Register Reward to buy anything except alcohol, lottery tickets, etc.
If you earn a Register Reward from Colgate, you can not use that same Register Reward on a Colgate product. This applies for all products that give a Register Reward.
Register Rewards will expire. Register Rewards last anywhere between 3-5 day to a week or so.

To combine all of what you have available AND still get Rewards you want to make sure that you have a calculator handy.
When doing this there is some math involved.
First you want to take your overall total and deduct the amount of Promotions (if shopping online) and store digital coupons. Next you want to take that total and make sure that it meets the Spend limit (Ex. Get $5 WCash/RR When You Spend $25).
If your total is over the required amount, just subtract the amount for the spend deal (Ex.Get $5 WCash/RR When You Spend $25). Using the example it would go something like this:
Total: $76.50
Promotions: $20
*New total: $56.50
Spend Deal Amount: $25
**Wags Cash Allowed to use: $31.50
Total - Promos/Store Qs = Spend Deal Total
Spend Deal Total - Spend Deal Amount = Allotted WCash to use
If your Spend Deal Total is less than the Spend Deal Amount required, you won’t get the Reward & you will need to add another qualifying item to your purchase.
