Walgreens does offer price matching — but only with its own website, and only under specific conditions. If you spot something cheaper on Walgreens.com and want it today, you can often get the in-store price lowered. Before you shop, check Groupon’s latest Walgreens discount codes to see if you can stack even more savings.

Here’s exactly how Walgreens price matching works, what’s excluded, and how to get the best deal at the register.

How Walgreens Price Matching Works

Walgreens will match the regular price listed on Walgreens.com when you’re shopping in-store. This does not include sale prices, promo codes, weekly ad deals, or temporary online offers.

• Walgreens only matches Walgreens.com — not CVS, Target, Walmart, or Amazon.
• The item must be identical: same brand, size, color, quantity, and model number.
• Employees must verify the price on Walgreens.com directly. Screenshots and printouts aren’t accepted.
• Price match is limited to one transaction per customer per day.
• If the item is out of stock in-store, no rain checks will be issued.

If the online price is simply lower than the shelf price — and not part of a promotion — they’ll adjust it at checkout.

What Walgreens Will and Won't Price Match

Eligible Items

• Regular merchandise like health, beauty, household, and OTC items
• Items that are fully identical to what’s shown online
• Products with regular, non-promotional online pricing

Not Eligible for Price Matching

• Online sales, promo pricing, BOGO deals or coupons
• Daily/flash deals and weekly ad discounts
• Contact lenses and vision care items
• Photo products and services
• Pharmacy items, prescriptions, and health services
• Prices caused by typos or obvious website errors
• Any item unavailable in-store (no rain checks)

How to Get a Price Match at Walgreens

1. Find the item you want in-store.
2. Look up the exact same item on Walgreens.com — check size, flavor, count, etc.
3. Confirm that the online price is a regular price, not a promo or sale.
4. Show the cashier the product page (not a screenshot).
5. The team member will verify the price on Walgreens.com.
6. If eligible, they’ll adjust the price right at the register.

The whole process usually takes a minute or two as long as the website loads quickly.

What to Do When Walgreens Won't Price Match

If the item is excluded or the online price comes from a promotion, Walgreens won’t match it. That’s when it pays to switch to plan B.

Try myWalgreens Rewards Instead

The myWalgreens rewards program often beats price matching:

• Earn 1% back on most purchases
• Earn 5% back on Walgreens-brand products
• Stack rewards with manufacturer coupons and store sales

For frequent shoppers, rewards can easily outsave occasional price matches.

Time Your Shopping Around Sales

It’s often smarter to watch for:

• Weekly ad deals
• BOGO offers
• Register Rewards promos
• Seasonal price drops

These promos regularly beat Walgreens.com’s base pricing — no price match needed.
