Walgreen's Prescription Savings Club

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Yesterday I went out shopping at Walgreens for the first time in quite awhile, with my coupon binder in tow!  There are some great deals to be had there this week, and while I spent a little more than I planned due to some impulse purchases (I even tried really hard to overlook the Christmas clearance!  Which wasn't too hard to do since most of it was only 50% off still).   I think I did pretty well though, and I'll share pictures of my deals soon.  I have $7 in Register Rewards to use next week too!!

As I was leaving the store on my "coupon high" I glanced back and saw a sign in the window with information about Walgreens and Express Scripts.  Today I was reading online and what happened was, that Walgreens has been trying to come up with a solution to keep the Express Script program at their pharmacies, but things just did not 'work out and they are no longer an Express Scripts pharmacy provider.

I t seems that Walgreens did everything they could to work to keep the contract and keep their customers happy. Despite things not working out as they would have liked, Walgreens wants to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible for customers who prefer to stay with Walgreens. They understand that customers have long standing relationships with their pharmacists, and that is important to them. Fortunately, only certain prescription insurance plans managed by Express Scripts have been effected. Be sure to check with your local Walgreens to find out where you stand. You can also quickly check your insurance card, and know that if it does not say Express Script, you're not effected.

If this new change does effect you, Walgreens wants to help. They are offering a special discount on the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens.

For just $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your family. This includes your spouse, dependents 22 years of age and under, and even pets! Individuals also have the option of joining for just $5.

Plus you may receive bonuses for purchasing Walgreen's brand products and photo finishing services.  Sounds pretty nice to me!
