... Read moreCouponing at CVS can be a rewarding experience if you know how to stack your savings efficiently. During my recent CVS haul between May 24 and May 30, 2026, I managed to purchase over $100 worth of products for just around $24 out-of-pocket by combining manufacturer coupons, ExtraBucks Rewards (EB), and digital coupons.
One key strategy I used was leveraging ExtraBucks earned from previous transactions to offset the cost on new purchases. For example, I used $42.51 of EB earned from last week, applied $42.00 worth of digital coupons, and still earned back $35.33 in EB plus $2.00 from the Fetch Rewards app. This cyclical process allows savvy shoppers to continue reducing their net costs while stocking up on essentials.
Targeted deals like buy one get one 50% off on Degree Deodorant sprays combined with $4 off digital coupons and earned EB made it possible to pay less than $1 for two deodorants. Similarly, clearance items like Sally Hansen nail polish were completely free after applying a $3 CRT.
Beyond the savings, I found it rewarding to shop for a variety of personal care and household products such as Neutrogena makeup wipes, Garnier Whole Blends shampoo, Banana Boat sunscreen sprays, Coppertone lip balm, L’Oreal cleansers, Tide laundry detergent, and Dawn PowerSuds dish soap—all while keeping my budget tight.
If you’re new to CVS couponing, my advice is to carefully track your ExtraBucks balances and expiration dates along with available digital coupons through the CVS app. Also, check weekly CVS ads for in-store promotions to stack coupons efficiently. Don’t forget about manufacturer coupons you can print or clip from inserts.
Using these strategies not only saves you a lot of money but also lets you try new products and stock up on favorites without paying full price. It’s empowering to see how these smart shopping habits add up, making a noticeable difference in your monthly expenses.
Happy couponing, and always keep an eye out for the next CVS deal cycles to maximize your savings!
