CVS Weekly Deals 11/16- 11/22

So many of you ask how I consistently snag amazing CVS deals, not just for one week but practically every time I shop! While my haul for the week of 11/16-11/22 was fantastic, featuring awesome finds like CHI Protection Spray, Conair hair appliances, and my trusty Crest toothpaste, I want to share my go-to strategies that work every week, regardless of the specific date. These tips will help you maximize your savings at CVS, whether you're looking for deals on holiday season event products or everyday essentials. First things first, mastering the CVS Weekly Ad and their app is crucial. I always preview the weekly ad online or in the app to scope out upcoming sales. Even if you're looking for deals from a past week, understanding how to navigate these resources is key for current savings. Remember, coupons can vary by account, so checking your specific CVS account for digital coupons before you shop is a non-negotiable step. This ensures you’re loading all available manufacturer and store coupons directly to your card. Next, let’s talk ExtraBucks Rewards (ECBs) and stacking. ECBs are essentially CVS cash that prints at the end of your transaction when you meet certain spend thresholds on specific products. I always try to “roll” my ExtraBucks, meaning I use ECBs from a previous week to pay for my current transaction, and then new ECBs print for that transaction – it’s a beautiful cycle of savings! You can often combine a manufacturer coupon (paper or digital) with a CVS store coupon (from the red coupon machine or app) AND earn ExtraBucks. For instance, if Old Spice body wash is on sale, I'll look for a manufacturer coupon, a CVS coupon, and then check if buying two qualifies for ExtraBucks. Don't forget the power of rebate apps like Ibotta! This was a game-changer for me. After I complete my CVS haul and use all my coupons, I check Ibotta for any additional cash-back offers on the products I bought. I've earned money back on items like Garnier Fructis shampoo, Puffs tissues, and even Raw Sugar Eco Body Bars. It's super simple: just scan the product barcodes and snap a photo of your receipt. The OCR on your receipt helps Ibotta confirm your purchases. Sometimes, there are even bonuses or a referral code you can use to get a little extra boost when you sign up. Finally, planning your transactions like a pro makes all the difference. Sometimes, breaking your shopping into two or three smaller transactions can help you maximize your ExtraBucks or ensure certain coupons apply correctly. For example, if there's a "buy one get one free" offer on items like the Raw Sugar Eco Body Bars, I factor that into my plan. Also, be aware that the retail cost of items can fluctuate, so always double-check prices. I always keep an eye out for popular items like Febreze air mists or high-value professional salon hair care products, as these often have great deals. By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to enjoying significant savings on your CVS hauls every single week!
