To remain a competitive retailer, Target offers a price match policy to its customers so that they can get the best value for money, offering to price match items sold at a variety of retailers and online stores.
Since Walgreens is a major competitor of Target and sells a wide range of identical items, you may be wondering – does Target price match Walgreens? Here is what I’ve found out!
Does Target Price Match Walgreens?
Target will price match Walgreens items in-store, at Target.com, and on the Target app within 14 days of purchase. You will have to provide printed or digital proof of the identical item advertised at a lower price at Walgreens. Discounted or on-promotion items cannot be price matched.
If you want to know more about Target’s price match policy, what are the restrictions in the policy, and whether Walgreens price matches Target, keep on reading!
What Is The Price Match Policy At Target For Walgreens?
Target will price match items bought from Walgreens, but the item must be identical in the brand name, have the same color and size, be of the same quantity, and possess the same model number.
Additionally, the item must be in stock at both Target and Walgreens for a price match to be verified.
If Target is unable to verify the lower price, it reserves the right to decline the price match with Walgreens.
Target also restricts the number of prices matches a customer can make to one per day, including price matches with Walgreens.
Can I Get A Price Match At Target After I’ve Purchased An Item From Walgreens?
If Walgreens is selling an item you bought for more money at Target, Target will offer you a price adjustment to help you save money within 14 days after the purchase.
To request a price match, take your original receipt or packing slip to Target inside the 14-day window with proof of a cheaper offer at Walgreens, and Target will give you back the monetary difference.
For example, if you paid $30 for an item at Target that retails at Walgreens for $25, you can get $5 refunded through a price adjustment.
How Can I Price Match Walgreens In A Target Store?
If Walgreens is selling an item for less, Target stores can give you a price match at any checkout lane.
All you have to do is bring proof of a better offer at Walgreens (through a printed advertisement or the Walgreens website) and Target staff will approve the price match.
Note that photocopies and screenshots of the advertisements are not accepted as valid proof, you must bring the original advertisement or show the product listing on walgreens.com directly on your phone.
How Can I Price Match Walgreens On Target.com?
If you find an item on Target.com selling for a higher price compared to walgreens.com (or a Walgreens store), you can request a price match from Target to get the difference.
To do this, you should call Target.com Guest Services at 1-800-591-3869 to arrange your price match with Walgreens by providing details of the item.
Once Target has verified that an identical item is indeed being sold for less than the price it offers, it will process your request and either make the refund for the difference or give you a modified price to pay.
What Can Target Not Price Match Against Walgreens?
Unfortunately, there are some restrictions in Target’s price match policy regarding items and locations where you cannot price match competitors’ items.
For example, Target stores in Alaska and Hawaii do not participate in the price match scheme and so you would be unable to price match with Walgreens in those areas.
Also, Target cannot give rain checks (a promise that an out-of-stock item can later be purchased at the same price) for items not in stock at Target, Target.com, or Walgreens.
You cannot use the price match scheme in-store for contract mobile phones and associate plans, optical items, product services, clinic and pharmacy purchases, or game reservations.
Additionally, you cannot price match at Target for Walgreens or any other retailer on the following types of items and plans:
- Clearance
- Damaged
- Pre-owned
- On promotion
- Advertised as money off
- Non-branded
- For prices that display on the website after a customer logs in
- Typographical errors
- Coupon errors
- Bundled offers
- Free items
- Rebates
- Mail-in offers
Target can also not price-match items with several coupons, such as Target Circle Coupons. Refer to Target’s price match policy and coupon policy to ensure you can combine your offers.
Note that price matches are unavailable for any retailer (including Walgreens) between Thanksgiving to the full week afterward.
Does Walgreens Price Match Target?
Unfortunately, Walgreens does not price match Target.
However, a Walgreens store will price match an identical item sold on Walgreens.com if the online retailer is offering a lower price.
Consult Walgreens Price Match guidelines to ensure your item is eligible for a price match before making your request.
What Other Retailers Does Target Price Match?
Target is able to provide a price match to 28 additional retailers as well as Walgreens. These include similar stores such as Costco.com, CVS.com, Kmart.com, and Walmart.com.

Conclusion
After expanding its price match policy, Target now offers price matches with Walgreens products. This can be done in-store or online by providing digital or printed proof of a better deal at Walgreens.
Target customers can request a price match at the time of purchase, or up to 14 days after purchase, where they can receive a price adjustment to a lower Walgreens price for an identical item. Note that you cannot price-match items sold in clearance, on-sale, or other types of promotional offers.
