Well Walgreens has finally joined the ranks of the stores having their coupon policy posted so help with some confusion. I don't know what to make of some of these though, as I personally think some of the wording is still going to make it difficult at Walgreens. Definitely worth printing and keeping on you when shopping at Walgreens with your coupons.
I DO like that they clearly state we can use two coupons on a bogo YAY! I don't like that they do not address using a bogo on a bogo.
I also forsee some of the overage by combining Walgreens coupons and manufacturer coupons going the wayside with these new written policies.
What do you guys think?
Thanks Mercedes for the heads up.

I've been pretty fortunate & very seldom have problems at WAGS with coupons. But occasionally I run across a cashier who never heard of using a BOGOf cpn on a BOGOf sale item and getting both free. I know how to explain it to them, but there was a time when I had a hard time wrapping my brain around it too. It just made more sense to me that we should have to pay for one of the items, and get two free. I think alot of cashiers probably think the way I used to, so I was disappointed that they didn't address that in their new policy. In fact, that was the first thing I was looking for when I read it this morning. I had to read & re-read it, thinking I must be missing it. But overall, I am very glad that they now have an official coupon policy...and that it's right on their website for us to print & keep with us.
I liked "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" that tells me that if I am buying 2 deodorants on b1g1 I can use 2 $1.00 coupons as long as 1 isn't less than $2.00. Usually, the cashier will give me a hard time--it was already free you can't use a coupon too. Are you reading it the same way?
Shelley, I agree on that one, I am just worried about an item being on sale $1.99 bogo, and them getting confused that you can adjust down AND take 2 coupons
I had a problem yesterday at Walgreens when a manager would not let me use more than one coupon on my entire purchase (I was attempting to buy 8 Nivea body washes and planning on using 6 coupons.) After I reminded him that the Walgreens states we can use one coupon per item, he said he would not let me and if I wanted to buy all these items I was only allowed to use one coupon. I got his information down and called Walgreens customer service number. They told me the manager has the right to limit quantities as well as limit quantities of coupons allowed, and I was shocked. I do not see that anywhere in the coupon policy found online. They gave me a case number and should contact me within two business days. I am confused and a little upset.
