To show their appreciation for all medical personnel, first responders and police fighting COVID-19, Walgreens said it will be offering 30 percent off regularly priced store brand items and 20 percent off regularly priced national brand items in-store on April 25. “At Walgreens, we would like to thank all of the physicians, nurses, paramedics, police officers, firefighters, and other health care and frontline professionals working to support and care for our neighbors and communities,” Richard Ashworth, Walgreens’ president, said in the press release. “We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing work they continue to perform during these extraordinary times and hope that this serves as a small token of our appreciation for their ongoing service,” Ashworth added. Frontline workers who wish to receive the one-day discount can present their employment badge or identification, as well as their Balance Rewards card, upon paying at any Walgreens store in the country, according to the press release. These Organizations Are Feeding Healthcare Workers and First Responders Across the Country While many items apply to the discount, Walgreens noted that there are some that do not. This select list includes alcohol, dairy, tobacco, stamps, gift cards, newspapers, magazines, money orders/transfers, transportation passes, lottery tickets, charitable donations, pseudoephedrine or ephedrine products, clinic services, prescriptions and pharmacy items or services, according to the press release. Depending on the demand and quantity of some items, a discount may not be applicable at purchase. Other store deals, including “Buy 1, Get 1 Free,” “Buy 1, Get 1 50 Percent Off,” and “Buy 2, Get 3rd Free,” cannot be combined with the discount. Bulk orders, back-ordered items and out-of-stock items also are not available to purchase with the discount.
