Walgreens new corporate coupon policy!

If you’ve been a couponer long you know that a source of stress at Walgreens has been their lack of a company-wide coupon policy.  What coupons you can and can’t use and how you can use them vary depending on the cashier you get and the manager on duty.  With no policy to go by, whatever the store manager decides is as good as law.

Well, now that has changed!  Walgreens NOW has a COMPANY COUPON POLICY that all stores must abide by.  I would recommend printing it and keeping it with you.  Chances are, you could know more about it than the cashier checking you out (it happens.)

Here is the page on Walgreens website with the policy.  (I’ve also copy and pasted it below)  You can also check out Getting Started at Walgreens for more tips on shopping at Walgreens.
