Walgreens Has Updated their Coupon Policy!


Well readers I do not like being the bearer of bad news BUT it looks like I have to be. Walgreens has Updated their coupon policy and you will NOT like it! It's bad enough that they have stopped their DD's (double dips) on Saturdays.

Here is the complete policy with the new items highlighted in red:
