Walgreens Discount Codes - $5 Off Coupons May 2024

About Walgreen Co.
Walgreens started out as a neighborhood drug store in 1901 in Chicago, Ill. How Charles R. Walgreen, Sr., got into the drug store business is an interesting story. As a teenager, he accidentally cut off part of his middle finger while working at a shoe factory and had to give up playing sports. Needing to keep his mind busy, he worked at a drug store for a year and a half. Walgreen moved to Chicago in 1893 where over 1,500 drug stores competed. He didn't want to depend on his family's resources, so he worked at several drug stores and convinced one of the owners to let him buy the business. It took him years to pay off the loan. Walgreens has grown into a pharmacy store chain selling a wide range of products, including cosmetics, personal care, sexual wellness, contacts and glasses, school and office supplies, pet supplies, small appliances, groceries and seasonal products. They sell natural and organic products, too.

Annual Sales
For Black Friday, Walgreens offers great deals on toys, beauty products, small gifts and electronics. Food items also go on sale during this time. Walgreens has an after-Christmas sale where holiday items are marked down by 50–90%. The pharmacy sometimes offers BOGO deals during their annual sales.

Customer Service
For Walgreens.com inquiries, shoppers can call 1-877-250-5823 to speak with a customer service representative. If the concern relates to an in-store location, the number to call is 1-800-925-4733. Walgreens.com has a contact us form that customers can use to contact customer service through email.

Live Chat
Live chat is another way of getting help from Walgreens' customer support. To open a live chat, go to the customer service page on the Walgreens website. At the top of the page, there is a red button reading, "Need Help? Live Chat." The chat is available from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. EST. If the button isn't visible during these hours, that means all agents are busy helping other customers.

App Info
Walgreens has an app that shoppers can use to place their orders. Customers can schedule pill reminders, refill prescriptions and track their Rx orders with the app, too. Contactless checkout is another feature of the app. The Walgreens app is available for both Android and iOS devices.

Weekly Ads
On the company's website, shoppers can view the weekly ad for a particular Walgreens store. Not all locations offer a weekly ad. BOGO 50% off, BOGO free and buy two get three are common types of deals found in the weekly ad. Customers can find a link to this section at the bottom of the Walgreens homepage.
