**This great giveaway ends this evening (9/10/14) at 6:00 pm EST so make sure you enter before then!

Every week I talk about the money we can save with Walgreens Balance Rewards. But did you know that you will get rewarded for living a healthy life with Balance Rewards? I have been a mom for a full year now. And when I look back at this year, I realize how blessed I’ve been having a healthy son who is charming, bright and loving. But when I look back, I also see just how tired I am. I used to be a runner. I ran marathons, half marathons and shorter races. I ran 4-5 times a week. After becoming a mom, my running dwindled and dwindled down. I was able to run a half marathon this past winter, but after that, I haven’t been able to get the energy to work out and run like I should. I don’t know if you have a hard time putting yourself and your health first. But if you do find this difficult, I can relate. Walgreens Balance Rewards program rewards us when we set health goals and it also helps us track our progress. You can connect this program to many devices. I currently have it on my iPhone as does my husband.

balance-rewards-1I was really excited to try this program out. If you have a smart phone, you can download the Walgreens App for free! Or, you can create an account on your laptop! Once I was on my app, I scrolled through all of the categories and clicked on “BR for healthy choices.” From there, I was able to set my first healthy goal. I gave myself a goal of walking 3,000 steps a day. You can connect the app RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal and MapMyFitness to your Walgreens app! (I have two of these apps on my phone already!) Or, if you have a Fitbit, iHealth Tracker or Jawbone Up24, you can connect those devices to your app.

balance-rewards-2I took my son for a walk and walked 1,000 steps. My Balance Rewards for healthy choices app logged my 1,000 steps and let me know that I was 33% to goal! balance-rewards-4Besides helping us meet our physical goals, they reward us with points as we meet them! The frugal girl in me loves this! Because as you know, Balance Rewards points equal money! Just 5,000 points equals $5.00 or 10,000 points equals $10.00! When you set your first healthy goal, you will receive 250 points. When you link a device or app to your Walgreens app, you will earn another 250 points. And for each mile you run, walk or bike, you will earn 20 points! There are even more ways to earn points that don’t involve fitness. If you get your blood pressure or blood glucose tested, you will earn 20 points per test! The pic below shows all of the ways to earn Balance Rewards points:

balance-rewardsFor me, using this app is a no-brainer. I need to walk more. I need to sweat more. 🙂 This app will not only keep me on goal but reward me with Balance Rewards to use at Walgreens the next time I shop!

And now for the giveaway! One Addicted to Saving reader will win a Fitbit that you can then connect to Walgreens Balance Rewards!

    I was using the Walgreens Healthy Choices a few months back and totally forgot about, it was fun collecting the badges. I think it’s a great way to motivate me and I’m starting again. Thank you. Love Walgreens for their ingenuity.

  6. Penny says

    I would LOVE to win this! I started Weight Watchers on August 4th and have lost 15.4 lbs as of my weigh in yesterday. It would be absolutely AWESOME to have the means to track my progress. Everyone talks about the Fitbit but I can’t afford one right now. I have over 100 lbs. to lose and I really wish I would win!

  7. LaRie says

    Walgreen’s the closest drugstore to us. I’m still getting used to them…. but I like their points system.

  9. Theresa Lohmann says

    I would love to win this prize. My husband has started exercising and lost 20# so far. He has another 15 to get to his goal. I need a little motivation in this department and would like to lost at least 20# too.

  12. Bridget Heiple Reich says

    I love their balance rewards program. I also love that they are close to home for my prescriptions. 🙂

  20. sandy weinstein says

    i used to like the rr, however, they have changed their program so many times it is hard to keep up with the changes. i do like that you can earn rewards for doing activities, though.

  21. Pam Brill says

    Love me some Walgreens! I would love the fit bit not only for fitness but for sleep pattern as I gave sleep isues.

  22. Janice says

    I love how friendly the pharmacy is. Everyone has always been so helpful with all my health/medicine questions

  25. Lisa says

    I love using wellness apps. I currently use the wellness app and would love to have a fitbit to help track my wellness.

  27. kristen mcclary says

    i love there sales! they always have good ones and there clearance you have to look around for them but if you find them they are great!

  28. Karen Cupstid says

    This is a great giveaway and having it connect to Walgreens Balance Rewards (which I love) would be an even greater motivator!!

  29. Carol W says

    I mostly like that it’s much easier to go in to Walgreen’s and get what I want & need compared to the bigger stores.

  30. Carol W says

    I would love to have a FitBit. I am trying so hard to live healthier and I do believe it would help to hold me accountable. It would help me to see how active or Inactive I have been. Thanks for even giving all of us a chance to win!

  36. Christy Anderson says

    My favorite thing about Walgreens is their Balance Reward program. I save tons of money on sales and reward bucks and earn money for being active! I love it!

  54. Carrie R. says

    I love friendly their employees are. Every time I walk into my local Walgreens I’m greeted with a smile and a hello.

  55. Adrianne says

    I like that Walgreens has good sales on things I use…. AND there are 3 stores close enough to my house that I can walk to them!

  57. Skye says

    I haven’t used balance rewards yet, but I’ve heard great things about it. Can’t wait to try!! 🙂

Meet Liza

My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..Read More Here...
