When I shopped the CVS Big Hair Event this season, I was amazed at how much I could save by combining the store's spend-and-get offers with digital coupons and rebate apps. For example, buying two Axe deodorants at a regular total of $12.58, I used a $6.00 digital coupon and earned $4.00 in ExtraBucks rewards (EB), cutting the final price to just $2.58 for both. This strategy worked well for several brands like Gillette shave foam, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel, and Maybelline Plumping Gloss, letting me buy high-quality products for fractions of their retail price. One trick I found valuable was buying items included in the Big Hair Event spend $40, get $10 off coupon. By mixing products from L'Oreal Elvive, Garnier Fructis, OGX, and Garnier Whole Blends, I hit the $40 threshold and saved an extra $10 on top of digital discounts and EB rewards. Not only did this reduce the out-of-pocket cost but also boosted the total value of rewards and cashbacks from apps like Ibotta and Fetch, which I always check before shopping. For example, my purchase of a Bactine Spray used multiple savings: a $5 EB reward, $2.87 cashback from Ibotta, and $2.00 from Fetch, making the item essentially free plus a small profit. Leveraging these overlapping deals requires keeping digital coupons up to date and carefully stacking store rewards with rebate apps. If you’re new to couponing or want to maximize CVS deals, tracking rewards totals and checking product eligibility can really stretch your budget. Using the CVS app alongside coupon websites helps ensure coupons are still valid and you don't miss out on limited-time offers. Additionally, I suggest focusing on staple products like toothpaste, deodorants, and hair care, which often participate in such sale events and provide consistent value. Overall, the Big Hair Event combined with digital coupons and external cash-back offers is an excellent opportunity to stock up on essential beauty and personal care products while saving a significant amount of money. Planning ahead, clipping the right coupons, and using rewards apps can make these haul runs both fun and incredibly cost-effective.
