Walgreens Ad 8/9: Best Sales & Deals

Here are my picks for the best deals in the Walgreens ad for August 9 - 15, 2015!  

For Texas shoppers, remember that our Tax Free Weekend for back to school deals runs August 7 - 9 this year.  So I recommend you shop on Sunday for the best deals.

If you're new to shopping at Walgreens, be sure to check out my how-to guide to get yourself up to speed.  Walgreens is slightly quirky with their policies, so you'll want to be fully prepped before you hit the store.

And don't forget that you can buy discounted Walgreens gift cards at Raise.com right now for even more savings!
