As summer winds down and the new school year approaches, it’s a good idea to check out some discounts that retailers like Walgreens offer. Right now, Walgreens has deals on everything from back-to-school supplies to vitamins and supplements, acne treatments and more.
Joanie Demer, cofounder at The Krazy Coupon Lady, recommends stacking offers for the cheapest price. For example, there was recently an 89% off deal on Pampers diapers and Love, Beauty, and Planet hair care.
Seniors can also find even lower prices during Seniors Day, a month a month, even on the first Tuesday of each month. “To take advantage of the discount in-store, you’ll need to have a myWalgreens account and let a Walgreens associate know want to apply your Senior Day discount,” Demer said. “But seniors can actually shop online all week long with a senior discount promo code (starting the Sunday prior to Senior Day until the Saturday after). Just apply the code SENIOR20 at checkout to save 20% on regular-priced purchases during Senior Week.”
You can get an extra 15% off a $35 or more order sitewide with code SCHOOL15 or 20% off a $50 order with code SCHOOL20.
Here are the best buys you can find at Walgreens.
