Walgreens return policy
You can return most eligible items to any Walgreens store within 30 days of buying them, with the original receipt or order number. Refunds go back to the original payment method. Some items can't be returned, including gift cards, seasonal products and sexual wellness items. Prescriptions, contact lenses, hearing aids (45 days) and some other items follow different rules.
What Walgreens says
Eligible items purchased at Walgreens or on Walgreens.com may be returned or exchanged at any Walgreens store within 30 days of purchase date and must be accompanied by the original receipt or Order number.

The general window is 30 days, but different rules apply to some categories. Hearing aids can be returned within 45 days. Prescriptions and contact lenses are covered by separate rules (contact lenses are posted back by mail, not returned to a store). Cosmetics and electronics are handled at the store manager's discretion, usually as a gift card. Returns without a receipt or order number are at the store manager's discretion and are usually refunded as a gift card. Walgreens-brand products carry a satisfaction guarantee: unused portions can be returned for a full refund, including shipping. The page doesn't mention price adjustments after purchase. The page text cuts off partway through the contact lens section.

More than this page shows
Walgreens also publishes 16 categories it excludes, and whether the window runs from the purchase or the delivery. Those fields, and the deadline for a given purchase date, come back from the API rather than being listed here.

No nationwide return or price-adjustment right: in the US each store sets its own rules, so Pricemend goes by the store's published policy.
This applies on top of whatever Walgreens offers, and sometimes gives you more.

Pricemend reads your receipt, works out your last day to act, and tells you when a price drops.
