Walgreens is lowering prices on over 1,300 products across different categories as part of a summer savings promotion, the company announced Wednesday.
The company also plans to introduce a "series of promotional campaigns," including the return of myW days in mid-July.
The pharmacy chain, which operates nearly 9,000 retail locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, said in a news release the price cuts would affect national and store brand products across "health and wellness, personal care and seasonal categories."
"Walgreens understands our customers are under financial strain and struggle to purchase everyday essentials," said Tracey D. Brown, EVP and President of Walgreens Retail, and Chief Customer Officer. "We continue to be committed to our customers by lowering prices on over a thousand additional items, something we’ve been doing since October of 2023.”
Walgreens becomes the latest retailer this month to offer consumers price cuts on hundreds of goods. Target announced earlier this month that around 5,000 of its frequently shopped items will see prices reduced in the coming weeks, and Aldi also announced it will be dropping prices on more than 250 items this summer to combat inflation.

Gummy Mango candy:Walgreens limits online sales of Gummy Mango candy to 1 bag a customer after it goes viral
Walgreens limits online sales of Gummy Mango candy after it goes viral
Walgreens is struggling to keep a certain candy in stock after it went viral.
The drug store chain has had to limit sales of its wildly popular Gummy Mango peelable candy to one bag per customer, Walgreens confirmed to USA TODAY earlier this month, though the limit is online only, a spokesperson with the company said.
The product is a part of Walgreens' Nice! brand and sells for around $1.99 on site and online.
“We’re really excited about the popularity of the Nice! Mango Gummy Candy,” Marty Esarte, vice president of Walgreens’ owned brands told Today. "Because of the success of the item, we’re currently expanding inventory of our mango item to 8,000 stores on May 22.”
The peelable treat was released in about 2,500 stores across the country last fall, Today reported. And though it was popular from the beginning, it sold out in four days nationwide after a TikTok review about it blew up in January.
