You can find Walgreens Coupons in the monthly coupon book located in the store.  These are usually by the weekly ads but be sure to ask for them if you can not locate them.  There are also similar ads located within the weekly paper.

Both of these types of coupons do not need to be clipped.  Also, if you are buying more then 1 of the same item, 1 coupon will deduct automatically for each item you are buying.  The Walgreens coupons can be stacked with manufacturer coupons for even more savings.

Coupon-to-Item Ration


At Walgreens,  dollar off Register Rewards count as a coupon and the registers at Walgreens are programmed not to accept more coupons then items purchased.  So, lets say you bought 4 items and had a coupon for each item and also wanted to use your Register Reward to pay for it.  The register will not allow that 5th coupon to be used so you have to use a filler item.  This can be anything from a $0.05 pencil or a $0.50 roll of toilet paper.  It doesn’t matter how much or what it is but there just needs to be a product for every coupon.

You can not use a coupon on a free item during a BOGO Sale.

BOGO Sales and Coupon Use: Also under the Walgreens Coupon Policy General Guidelines, #9 states “For offers when multiple items are purchased and additional items are free (buy 1 get 1 free; buy 2 get 1 free, etc.), the number of coupons applied to that offer cannot exceed the number of items required in the “buy” portion of the offer.” Under Guidelines #10 it states “Coupons may not be applied against any free item received in any offer (See 7 above)”.  Also under Buy 1 Get 1 Free Coupons it states, “at least one product needs to be purchased. A maximum of one BOGO coupon is permitted per two qualifying items in a BOGO offer.”
