COVID-19 Self-Tests Selling Out At Buffalo Grove Walgreens

BUFFALO GROVE, IL — Earlier this week, Walgreens announced it was instituting a four-item purchase limit on at-home COVID-19 testing products in its stores and online. The decision was based on a nationwide surge in COVID-19 cases and increased demand, according to the Deerfield-based company.

CVS followed suit with its own policy, allowing customers to purchase five at-home COVID-19 tests.

Walgreens locations in Deerfield are selling out of at-home COVID-19 testing products like BinaxNow for in-store purchase. They also can't be purchased for same-day delivery or shipping, as of Thursday morning.

Walgreens locations in Buffalo Grove include:

• 15 N. Buffalo Grove Road, Buffalo Grove
