Multi-Store Haul (04/23): 1 Moneymaker, 2 Freebies, 7 Under $1, and 4 More Steals
Nick (OhioValleyCouponer)Over $106 worth of items for just $1.02 by stacking sales, digital coupons, and rebates across Walmart, Kroger, and CVS. 14 deals total including 1 moneymaker, 2 freebies, 7 under $1, and 4 more steals.
Nick from OhioValleyCouponer is back with a stacked multi-store haul. This time the shopping list hit three different stores in one trip and came out to $106 worth of items for $1.02 out of pocket. On top of that, a weekend Ibotta bonus ($5 back for 12 rebates) made this run even sweeter. Highlights include Small Matters Dog Food 12-pack completely free through Convert, Werther's Caramels as a moneymaker at Walmart, and a $0.12 Bactine and $0.12 Pert shampoo over at CVS.
Watch Nick's full video walkthrough for bonus tips and visuals:
How We Got There
- $106 in product for $1.02 out of pocket when every coupon, rebate, and Extrabuck is factored in.
- Weekend Ibotta bonus: $5 back when you submit 12 rebates. Check your account for your specific bonus -- some users will see more or fewer required rebates.
- Three stores, one trip: Walmart, Kroger, and CVS combined to unlock the best price on every category.

CVS PRO-TIP: ExtraCare Plus
Before we dive in, if you regularly shop CVS, the ExtraCare Plus membership is an easy win. It costs $5 per month (or $48 per year) and comes with a lot of perks, but the best one in our opinion is a FREE $10 Extrabuck to use at CVS each month. So you pay $5 and get $10 in store credit -- that is an easy $5 moneymaker every month. Nick applied that extra $5 in Extrabucks toward this week's CVS deals to push the final total even lower.
Walmart Deals
Moneymakers
- Buy (1) Werther's Caramels 5.5 Oz Bag at $1.97 rollback price
- 🟡 Submit $4/2 Swagbucks rebate
- Net Price: FREE + $0.06 MONEYMAKER
- NOTE: You need to buy 2 bags for the Swagbucks rebate ($4 back on 2). Two bags at $1.97 each = $3.94, minus the $4 rebate = $0.06 profit. That is a classic moneymaker.
Freebies

CVS Deals
CVS deals stack a little differently. You can combine store coupons (in the CVS app), manufacturer coupons, Ibotta rebates, and Extrabucks all in one transaction. Extrabucks are like store credit -- you earn them on qualifying purchases and spend them on your next trip.

- NOTE: This combo is a great way to spend down those stray $1 off any purchase CVS coupons. Your available coupons may differ, so always check your CVS app first.
Rebate Apps You Need for These Deals
- Ibotta -- Powers almost every deal this week, from the Werther's moneymaker to every CVS rebate. The weekend $5 bonus for 12 rebates made this haul possible.
- Swagbucks -- Powers the Werther's Caramels moneymaker at Walmart.
- Convert -- Free rebate platform that funded the Small Matters Dog Food freebie. Limited quantity, so claim early.
- Fetch -- Not required for this specific haul, but worth having for receipt-scan points on almost any trip.
Ibotta Weekend Bonus Breakdown
One of the reasons this haul went so hard: the weekend Ibotta bonus paid out $5 back for completing 12 rebates. Count up the Ibotta rebates in this list and you are well over the 12 required. Bonuses like this are a perfect time to stack deals you might skip otherwise. A few things to know:
- Bonuses are account-specific. Your inbox in the Ibotta app will show exactly what bonus is active for you. Some accounts see $5 for 12, others see $3 for 8 or $10 for 20.
- All rebates count toward bonuses, not just the ones you plan for. Any qualifying receipt you submit adds to your total.
- Submit receipts as soon as you leave the store so the rebate clears before the bonus window closes.
New to Couponing?
If this is your first time stacking deals across multiple stores, here is your quick starter guide:
- Make accounts for each store first. Kroger Plus card, Walmart app, and CVS ExtraCare are all free. Link loyalty cards so store coupons apply automatically.
- Download Ibotta, Swagbucks, and Convert. Activate offers before you shop, then submit receipts after each trip.
- Check for bonuses in your Ibotta inbox before shopping. Structure your list so you hit the required number of rebates and bank that extra $5 or $10.
- Clip all digital store and manufacturer coupons for Kroger ahead of time. The 5X digital coupons in particular stack with Ibotta and Swagbucks.
- At CVS, open the app and check your account-specific coupons. Percentage-off store coupons and $1 off any purchase coupons vary by customer.
- Submit receipts the same day. That way you know if any offer did not track while you can still do something about it.
Tips for This Week's Multi-Store Run
- Dog food for free is hard to beat. The Small Matters 12-pack through Convert is the top freebie of the week. Grab it before the quantity cap hits.
- Werther's is a moneymaker, not just a freebie. Two bags at $1.97 plus the $4/2 Swagbucks rebate puts $0.06 back in your pocket.
- Use the Kroger app's Scan feature for the Private Selection Cake. The free coupon only applies to select varieties, so scan the barcode to confirm before you get to checkout.
- Air Wick uses a rare coupon stack. The $2 5X digital, a $5 manufacturer digital, and the $2 Ibotta rebate combine to knock $10.99 down to $1.99.
- ExtraCare Plus is an easy $5 moneymaker every month. If you shop CVS regularly, the $10 Extrabuck for $5 membership fee is a no-brainer.
- Stack Extrabucks between trips. The $0.67 Extrabucks used in the Fancy Feast / Arm and Hammer combo came from an earlier trip. Let your rewards compound.
