Walgreens is a top-tier couponing destination thanks to its dual rewards system: Register Rewards and Walgreens Cash. Understanding how these two programs work — and how they differ — is the key to unlocking massive savings every week.
The myWalgreens loyalty program is free and earns you 1% Walgreens Cash on most purchases (10% on Walgreens brand items). Register Rewards are separate coupon-like rewards that print on your receipt when you buy promoted items. Combined, they create one of the most powerful savings ecosystems in retail.
Walgreens weekly ads run Sunday through Saturday, featuring new promotions that stack beautifully with coupons. The secret to Walgreens couponing is "rolling" Register Rewards — using rewards from one deal to fund the next, creating a chain of nearly-free purchases.
Walgreens offers excellent stacking opportunities. The key is understanding the difference between Register Rewards and Walgreens Cash:
Walgreens weekly ads run Sunday through Saturday.
