You read it right, this week I have discovered my new favorite mobile app. It's all because of this boy. He's my nature lover, climber, adventurer. He's my 4 year old with arthritis. Yuck! Nasa is on some pretty strong medicines and we have to have them refilled every couple of weeks. We always use Walgreens pharmacy because they are half a mile away from our house, always very friendly and helpful, and we can find them anywhere we happen to be travelling.Oh right - the app. Walgreens has a mobile app. Did you know that? With their app you can order refills on medicines from your living room, dining room, office, or bathroom. You can probably refill them a lot of other places too. I'm pretty sure they don't limit your use of their application.
I already said it, but I'll say it again to make sure you know. This app is excellent! You can do so much more than medication refills with it. You can order photo prints, schedule appointments with the pharmacist, clip coupons, check your Balance Rewards... just check it out. You can see for yourself what all it does.
To refill my son's medicines I had to pull them out of the cupboard, click "Refill by Scan", and scan them. It really is very easy. Unfortunately, I had a little technical difficulty with my phone and my camera (which is not all that great) would not scan the barcode for me. Not a big deal, I just had to check a couple of boxes telling Walgreens which medicines I wanted to refill for what person in my family. See my whole shopping experience here.
It only took a few minutes to order Nasa's medicines from the comfort of my dining room. I will use this app again and again. It is MUCH easier than dialing the pharmacy and entering each script number individually, then trying to get the phone to understand when you want to pick up medications! This really made a busy week a little easier, as we were able to just stop by the drive through and pick his medicines up on the way to his Awana class.
Walgreens also offers a "Balance Rewards" program, that we have only recently begun using. This program allows us to save money on products, earn points, and then redeem them for rewards. We have been using the program for about 2 months now. Recently I learned that we can earn more points toward our rewards simply by walking! In fact, I can earn 10 points for every mile I walk - that means every time the boys and I walk to or from the public library (we do this a lot in the spring and fall) we can earn 30 points! Make sure to check out the Walk with Walgreens part of Balance Rewards!
Thanks to Walgreeens Mobile App it was easy to get this guy to his Awana meeting on time!
