This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.
I was recently sent a sample of Walgreens Brand Antibiotic ointment to try. As we all know, most of the time brand name products can be less expensive than store brand items when you combine coupons and sales.
There are lots of occasions when you might be in a pinch to get a medication or pain reliever and I like the convenience of finding quality store brands at reasonable prices.
Walgreens does offer a ton of different Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products at really reasonable prices that compare to name brands. I tested the antibiotic ointment compared to some Neosporin that I already had on hand and there was no difference that I could tell.
In regards to pricing, the Walgreens brand was priced at $5.99 for 1.0oz and the Neosporin was $8.99 for the same size.
Many of the products have the same ingredients as national brands and Walgreens offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee so if there is a product you don’t care for, just return it for a full refund!
One last point to mention is the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™. They donate .01 from every Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness item sold to local charities, up to $3 million annually.

The only Walgreens brand product I’ve tried is their W diapers and I’ve found them to be just as good as Huggies and Pampers.
i am a facebook fan!! thanx again!
I’ve tried and really like the Walgreens brand of Tylenol Sinus. I can’t tell any difference and the price is half the cost for the name brand.

I like the Walgreens brand vitamins!
I use their “baby” aspirin and its the same as Bayer!
I am amazed by the quality of Walgreens diapers! Having tried generics from different stores, and ALWAYS disappointed, I was so pleasantly surprised with Walgreens diapers’ leak protection!
I have tried the Walgreens Rapid Release Pain Relievers and they work great. I caught them on sale 5/$5.00. Great value compared to Tylenol. Same results, just cheaper prices.

We use the Walgreen’s brand lactose intolerance chewables for DD. They’re MUCH cheaper and work just as well as the Lactaid.
I of course follow you on FB, Twitter and get your emails. 🙂
I have not had an opportunity to trya Wallgreens specific product but I sure would love to give it a chance.
We have been using the Children’s WalDryl liquid (equivalent to Benadryl) for awhile now and it is just as good. No need to pay extra!
I like Walgreens brand of children’s pain relievers (aceteminophen & ibuprofen) … they work as well as name brands at a fraction of the cost.
I have tried wal-zyr and their brand of ibuprofen.

never tried it, because I don’t shop at Walgreens too often.
I have tried Walgreen’s ibuprofen and would be open to trying other Walgreens products.
We use the Walgreens brand pain relievers (ibuprofen, etc.) and appreciate they are the same thing as the name brands, but a much better price. The doctors in our family say the store brands are exactly the same as name brands.

I’ve tried their house brand of thermacare and found it to be a tighter fit for the knees. It was also on clearance so I ended up buying a few more boxes after trying one.
I like you on FB.
They just opened a walgreens So I haven’t tried yet!! I like tour facebook page!
The only Walgreens product I have tried are the baby wipes and they are GREAT!!! I’ve tried other genetics and they don’t hold up at all, but the Walgreens are very compatible to Huggies wipes.
I haven’t tried any Walgreens product yet but with the gift card, I’d try. 🙂
I don’t know that I’ve tried any of Walgreens band products as we don’t have a Walgreen in this area as of yet.

I remember that my boyfriend ran to walgreens to get some of their store-brand gauze and ibuprofen when I had my bottom wisdom teeth pulled. They worked great!
We have used the walgreens ibuprofen in the past and i have also bought their sanitary pads. Works well!
I’ve never tried Walgreens brand products.
I am also a facebook fan 🙂

I am new to using coupons and following the MFA website so I never even considered purchasing a Walgreens brand. I am certainly excited to try that now!

We use the Wal-ZyrD allergy medicine and the children’s Wal-Zyr medicine and both work just as well as Zyrtec.
I don’t think that I have tried Walgreens health & wellness brand products but sounds like I need to especially since they have theWalgreens Way to Well Fund™. ! I like My Frugal Adventures on Facebook.
I have tried their version of Claritin, called Wal-tin, and their version of Dimatapp called Wal-tapp (I think).
I don’t have a twitter account, but I do follow you on facebook 😀
I’ve tried the Walgreens brand of Clartin wtih good results.
I always use the Walgreens brand when buying pain relievers for adults and kids…same ingredients so why pay more??
I have tried the Walgreens brand of Mucinex. It is very effective and much cheaper which helps out my finances a lot!
