Looking to save money without actually shopping in-store? With several littles (including a baby) in tow, I can’t usually shop the drugstore deals in-store, but have come to love doing pickup orders. This week, they had several items we regularly use so I was excited! I always place my order online using my Walgreens app and within 10 minutes it is ready for pickup at my closest store. The best part? I don’t even have to get out of my car as they bring it out to me!
All of these items and coupons are still available through Saturday so you can replicate this same pickup order.
Here’s what I bought:
3 Garnier Fructis Hair Products – $10.87 total
Buy 3, get back $5 Walgreens Cash
Used $2/2 digital coupon
1 Gillette After Shave Gel – $2.99
Used $2/1 digital coupon
2 Suave Men’s Body Wash – $2 each
On Sale Buy One, Get One 50% off
Used $1/2 digital coupon
Used promo code PICKUP15 at checkout (saved $0.45)
Used $5 in Walgreens cash earned from previous shopping trip
Paid $6.41 out of pocket, Received $5 in Walgreens cash
Total before coupons and Walgreens cash: $17.86
Total after coupons and Walgreens cash: $6.41, plus received $5 in Walgreens cash (Like paying $1.41)

Maybe different stores/states have different rules? In my store you can’t use cash rewards and earn them in the same transaction.

From my understanding, you can use cash rewards and earn them in the same transaction if it is part of a “buy a certain quantity” deal (For example – Buy 3 Garnier Fructis, get $5 Walgreens cash). If it is part of a “spend a certain amount” deal (For example – Spend $10 on Garnier Fructis, Get $5 Walgreens cash), then you cannot use cash rewards to pay and also earn them in that transaction.
So since the deal this week was Buy 3 Garnier Fructis products, Get $5 Cash Rewards, I was able to use my cash rewards I had previously earned to pay for this deal.
It gets a bit confusing, but that is my understanding on the policy right now and it has always worked that way for me. I like using the app to order as I can usually double check what cash I will earn before I checkout. I hope that makes sense! – Gretchen, MSM Team
