You may have noticed I rarely post Walgreens info anymore. Since I am such a CVS fan myself, I decided to simplify a bit and just stick with what I do best.
If you are in need of help figuring out the Walgreens system, I am happy to send you in the right direction!
First of all, the blogosphere is all abuzz over the new $5/$20 Walgreens coupon.
The basics:
Similar to CVS, Walgreens offers both monthly deals and weekly. They are a bit fussier about their coupon policy than CVS, so be prepared for that. Walgreens will allow you to stack a manufacturer’s coupon with a store coupon.
For lingo and coupon vocabulary, start here.
For further Walgreens shopping explanations, check out Mommy Snack’s Top 5 Tips and Money Saving Mom’s Walgreens 101.
I also posted a while back about the online rebates that Walgreens now offers.
There are great deals to be had at Walgreens, my frugal friends! If CVS sounds intimidating, start with Walgreens. I shopped there for months before I got up the courage to try my hand at CVSing.
I am always willing to answer all of your couponing questions, so feel free to contact me!

I was very excited about my haul today at Walgreens.

Skippy 1.66 X 2 = 3.32
Ragu 1.66 X 4 = 6.64
Aspirin .39 X 2 = .78
WAG Diapers 2.74 X 1 = 2.74
Sharpies .39 X 3 = 1.17
Prep H 3.99 X 1 = 3.99
Tape .39 X 2 = .78
Total 31.40
LESS
Ragu -$2
Skippy -$1
Bertolli’s -$3
Prep H -$3
WAG PrepH -$2
WAG -$5
Total -$16
Grand Total $15.40 And some tax…
I was able to use my Easy Saver gift card and I now have $9 in RR to use next month of the FAR. YEAH!
Thanks again for sharing with MOPS.

Thanks! I need to start doing the Walgreens thang. We don’t have CVS here, so that’s a moo point. (yes I know it’s moot – it’s a joke).

I agree that WG is a little more picky about coupons than CVS. CVS (if you get the right person) will pretty much take anything and not question it. I have been to WG multiple times and had a cashier give me a hassle because “this didn’t match the picture” or something like that… Great fun, but I still love shopping both when I’ve got time…

Lisa- I hope you enjoy shopping at Walgreens! It can be a huge money saver if done right.
fuel4him (aprel)- WOW, that is quite a haul for Walgreens! I am so proud.
Dianne- Let me know how it goes, I am here to help!
Kama- I know what you mean. That is part of the reason I now simply stick with CVS. You are right, it is great fun!
