Reading Time: 5 minutesWith fall on its way in, for many, the kids might be on the way out—to school! The kids need supplies, and even if they’re already on a roll with those new school assignments (whether inside the house or not), it might seem like there is still never enough time to get everything done.
Maybe you had your day planned and you just learned about your child’s latest project needs, or maybe your list always feels like it has too many stops on it no matter how many things you get done. Well, Walgreens is here to deliver—the same day, even!
And for those school supplies, Walgreens has some great discounts to lighten that load and help get it to you both fast and free. Right now, you can get 20% off regular-priced items and 25% off $80 sitewide plus delivery perks via online promo codes.

Both your wallet and your time are important, and Walgreens is here with a helping hand for each. Need to stay home for work, chores, or because your pajamas just feel really comfortable today? Walgreens Same Day Delivery can get your things straight to you—potentially in as little time as an hour (with some constraints, variable by store). And if you’re busy, feeling a little unwell, or just don’t want anyone to see you in your super-comfy pajamas, delivery is contactless and straight to your doorstep, no face-to-face interaction required.

But perhaps you’re not at home—you’re out and about, chaining as many errands as possible into a single day, or you need something that isn’t eligible to be shipped. In such cases, a doorstep delivery might not suit your schedule—but the Walgreens Pickup service could!
Order online or with the app, just like Same Day Delivery. Choose your Pickup preference, and when your order is confirmed, you can simply drive up to collect it. Select curbside or drive-thru pickup if staying in your car sounds the best, or inside at the photo counter if you want to pop inside and grab the newest magazine or an additional treat. Best of all, Pickup is completely free!
Back to School with Walgreens

What about those school supplies, though? “School” is a pretty broad category, and there are a lot of different needs, starting at tools for basic notation and organization and extending all the way to what a child might need for a homemade lunch. Walgreens keeps things easy with a Back to School page. Choose between School Supplies, Backpacks, Lunchbox Essentials, and Snacks, and filter down to a specific target or browse broadly for multiple items.
Use code SCHOOL20 to score both 20% off regular-priced items sitewide and also that sweet Same Day Delivery or Pickup bonus. And if that school-mandated supply list is extra-long this year, you can also save an extra 25% off $80 sitewide with code TAKE25, which includes Same Day Delivery or Pickup. Take a look at the following categories for an introduction to the Back to School basics available at Walgreens.

What color was your math binder in school? What about history? Whether your child needs binders, folders, notepads, or tools for writing in and organizing them, Walgreens has quite the selection. You can even find great products like dry erase planners and sticky notes for monthly event-tracking and assorted glues, paints, and things both colorful and glittery for those creative projects and crafts.

Backpacks

Every kid needs a backpack for ferrying their books and binders to and from school, but that’s not the only kind of bag that’s handy. Need an organizer for those pencils or a handbag for personal effects? Take a look at the Backpacks section, and something just might be right to fill your needs–or be filled by them.
Lunchbox Essentials

To bring a lunch, you gotta have something to carry it in! Whether you’re the brown paper bag type or more of a reusable Bento Box lover, you have options to choose from. And you can’t very well leave a sandwich or microwaveable meal alone in the bag to get crushed by a drink or spray lunch meat everywhere as your kid runs to and from class, so don’t forget the zippy bags and tupperware either.

Snacks

Sometimes a kid—or a parent— needs a pick-me-up in the middle of the day. Why not grab a handful of nuts or seeds for a protein boost, or some shortbread cookies for a light jolt of sugar? If the cookies come with guilt, there are also plenty of dried fruits. And for the family looking for a little bit of crunch with a lot of variety, it’s hard to go wrong with different kinds of popcorn or chips and pretzels. Zip a portion up in one of the Lunchbox Essentials bags, and you or your kid have a clean and contained snack for the day.
