How to Find Affordable Grocery Items at Walgreens
If you're not able to get to the supermarket or you need a small amount of groceries for the day, Walgreens has various affordable grocery items ranging from canned soups to candy bars. The store has a sale every week and sometimes has buy-one-get-one-free sales. In addition, it's a one-stop shop because you can pick up your groceries while waiting for your prescriptions or photos to be developed.

Look for Ways to Save

1
Buy store-brand groceries instead of the name brands. It saves you money and some of the products are just as good as name-brand items.
-
2
Bring your manufacturer's coupons with you to Walgreens because this also cuts your grocery costs. This is especially good for TV dinners, cold medicines, canned goods and beverages.

Take advantage of the store's weekly sales. Pay special attention to the special sales the store has around holidays such as Easter, Christmas and Valentine's Day. For example, during mid-August Walgreens usually has good sales on school supplies.
-
4
Look for items that say "Buy One Get One Free." Some stores will offer variants on this type of sale: you may be able to buy two items and get one free, for example.
