Walgreens ESR Ending?

**brennasmom** · 02-11-2009, 07:23 PM

Seeing bits about this around the web. Does anyone know for sure? Rumor is April will be the last month. *sniff*

I, too, have seen all the rumors. Hope it's not true.

Say it isn't so!!!

I don't have CVS here, and I LOVE Walgreens ESR!

We have a new Walgreens being built right across the street from a CVS. Maybe they both will stop with the rebates and coupons. Either way, I shop elsewhere for savings most of the time. Cvs has good milk prices, though.

I've seen it too....didn';t want to bring it up till I knew more for sure.....looks like they may be replacing it with something else.......we will have to keep a close eye on this one for sure!!

I used to love Walgreens, especially since they have a drive through which is nice when you have a sick child... but they are building a lot of new stores and doing so with a lot of illegal labor and no local hiring. I think major companies who routinely use illegal labor ooze greed and take advantage of people who are in desperate situations. Furthermore, my dad's union newsletter slated them as union busters who build substandard facilities. I would rather shop at Wal-mart and that's saying a lot for me.

OH NO!! Seriously? I love Walgreens sales and rebates! I hope that they replace it with something good!

Wow, I would certainly hate to see this go, I have done some serious deals with this program.

**Trishagirl** · 02-12-2009, 12:32 PM

We have walgreens and CVS here but I don't go there. Maybe I should start going to CVS they have good coupons.

**tbs727** · 02-12-2009, 12:38 PM

Hopefully they will replace it with something even better. Hopefully.

**jennordhavn** · 02-12-2009, 02:32 PM

That would totally suck, since I just started using it this month. I go to Walgreens by my work all the time.

I did some digging on a popular coupon site, and it looks like they may be replacing the ESR program with a program similar to the one at CVS. Of course, that is just rumor at this point. I'll be waiting to hear more on this, for sure! I really hope they do something like CVS does, otherwise their prices are too high to even bother shopping there.
