It looks like Walgreens has posted their Coupon Policy on their site. This will be a good thing to print and add to your binder. This should really help ALL Walgreens stores be more coupon friendly. Great job Walgreens!!!!
As a customer-focused retailer, Walgreens encourages the use of coupons by our customers in our retail stores, in accordance with the following guidelines.
Guidelines:
General
* All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier at the time of checkout.
* Walgreens does not accept expired coupons.
* Coupons and their face value cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards.
* Competitor coupons are not accepted at Walgreens.
* Walgreens cannot accept coupons for items not carried in our stores.
* The number of manufacturer coupons, including Register RewardsTM manufacturer coupons, may not exceed the number of items in the transaction. The total value of the coupons may not exceed the value of the transaction. Sales tax must be paid, if required by state law.
* Any coupon offer not covered in these guidelines will be accepted at the discretion of Walgreens management.
Sale Items
* Walgreens will accept manufacturer coupons for an item that is on sale.
* In the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Walgreens will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons.
Multiple Coupons
* When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer.
* The coupon amount must be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. (For example, a $5.00 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value).
* When purchasing multiple items, Walgreens accepts multiple identical coupons for multiple qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers, unless a limit is specified. Management reserves the right to limit the quantity of items purchased.
Buy One, Get One Free Coupons

“When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free PROMOTION”: To me this means that Walgreens is the one offering the promotion. This has nothing to do with a BOGO manufacturer coupon. So, if Walgreens has something on sale BOGO free, then you can either use 2 mft coupons (say $1 off each item) or 1 BOGO manufacture coupon (making the two items free). But, if you’re using a BOGO free coupon and there is no sale, those two products become one “item”. It’s the same with the $1 off 2 deodorants – the 2 deodorants are one item so you can’t use the $1off2 plus another manufacture coupon.
@Dawn: Did you try to use the B1G1 coupon along with a B1G1 free store sale? If so, the manager was correct. There wouldn’t be any need for the $2 mfq, because the two items would have been $.00, plus tax. There would be overage of $2, had they allowed it, & that would have been wrong.
However, if there was NOT a B1G1 free sale at the time, then per the new policy, it should be allowed.
Some of the verbage isn’t very clear. Example: * When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.
I’m afraid of how Wags cashiers will interpret this- It doesn’t say if a BOGO mfr coupon can be used. It doesn’t explain if this is the proper use of the two coupons: Assume Right Guard is on sale for $4.49. I have a BOGOF coupon ($4.49) & a $3 off 1 coupon. Ideally, I should be able to use both for a final price of 2 for $1.49. But here’s where it’s tricky (at least for me): BOGOF is generally for an item of equal or lesser value. If $3 is taken off the first one (equaling $1.49), the store I go to would only take the BOGOF mfr coupon for $1.49.
Perhaps the rules need to state the order of the coupons (BOGOF before cents off coupons).
I’m wondering what the reasoning is behind RR not being valid for dairy products? I can see the reason for most of the rest of the items, but this one has me stumped. Any thoughts anyone?
I wish I would had this updated coupon policy last week when I tried to use one Rightguard B1G1 and a $2.00 off coupon for one Rightguard. The cashier asked if she could use both and Manager stated absolutely not. I just told them to void my purchase. It all depends on the Walgreens. I’m tired of playing Russian Roulette. Thanks for the information though!
Thank you for this. I hope I don’t have to refer to it; however, I am armed with good info.
