With the Walgreens app and paperless coupons you don’t have a problem anymore. Chances are you didn’t have coupons with you and you ended up paying full price to replace the forgotten item. Maybe you forgot your sunscreen or you got a run in your nylons. I’m guessing you probably forgot something like toothpaste or a razor. My preference is to use a coupon in conjunction with the sale but the convenience of having the coupons with me all the time is pretty great. I mean, think about the last time you went on a trip. I was able to pick up laundry detergent dish soap and some beauty products and I saved over five dollars in just a few items. I had my coupons in the car just in case but was relying on my app. That coupon can also be located either in the Walgreens circular or on the app.ĭuring my most recent trip to Walgreens I decided to put it to the test. In this example, you can see that through 8/30, you get 50 points for every $1 you spend on personal and beauty care products. There are also circular coupons in addition to manufacturer coupons. Take your pick on which you want to use – paper or paperless! There is a $3 coupon in the paper but the same coupon is available paperless in the Walgreens app. CoverGirl mascara is $6.99 with your Walgreens card. Let me give you some specific examples. I was looking through this weekend’s coupons and circulars. “If I didn’t clip them, how do I give them to the cashier?” I’m so glad you asked! When you check out, the cashier scans the barcode on your app and it automatically deducts those coupons from your total. They are digital so you’re probably asking. Just like with regular coupons, you need to “give” them to the cashier. They’re manufacturer coupons so they take the place of the ones you otherwise would be toting with you. You click to clip and it goes into a “clipped coupons” folder. The Walgreens app has the same coupons offered in those newspaper inserts as well as coupons in the Walgreens ads. I ALWAYS have my phone with me so now instead of packing an envelope of coupons in my purse, I just have to grab my phone. Ha! Now I have the solution! Paperless coupons at Walgreens. (Sorry, got a bit off on a rant there.) The point I was trying to make is that even if I do find coupons to clip, I often forget them at home. We get dumbed down coupon inserts that contain 90% ads for slippers, figurines and checks. It isn’t that we have coupons of less value, it’s that we don’t GET all the coupons. That’s one of the things that I miss about living in a big city… Decent coupons. I don’t pride myself in that. Other times, I plan my list around an advertisement that shows “less $x coupon savings in most Sunday papers” but am disappointed to discover that our newspaper insert doesn’t include it. I trade with friends and neighbors and even print coupons online. Unfortunately, I forget to grab them and end up paying full price for something. I’ve gone through phases where I try to find every coupon possible. I pride myself in clipping coupons and making good choices at the store. Then there are the times that I’m not frugal enough. I miss out on awesome opportunities to connect at conferences because the costs of getting there from Iowa just seem too high. Even decisions I make regarding travel are focused around spending as little as possible. DH says sometimes I’m too cheap for my own good. I clip coupons to save money at the store. We shop at thrift stores and find awesome games and clothes. That’s just one example of where I choose to save money. However, it is mostly because I can’t stand paying $4 for something that costs around a dollar for two liters at the grocery store. That is partially because it is healthier than pop. When we go to restaurants, I usually order water.
