CVS Extrabucks Roll (05/26): $77+ in Products for $2.36 Across 6 Transactions

Roll $23 in Extrabucks across 6 CVS transactions to walk out with 11 items including Tide, razors, Colgate, Neutrogena, Garnier, Softsoap, and cereal for $2.36 cash.

This week's CVS run is built around the Spend $30 Get Back $10 Extrabuck promo on participating P&G and personal care brands. Nick rolls the Extrabucks across 6 transactions to land on a net cash out of pocket of $2.36 for Tide Pods, (2) Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste, (2) disposable razors (Venus + Gillette), (2) Neutrogena Makeup Wipes, La Frances Caramel filler, (2) Garnier Fructis, (2) Softsoap Hand Soaps, and a box of Kellogg's or Post Cereal. 6 transactions. 11 items. $77+ retail. $2.36 final cash OOP.

Heads up on account-specific coupons: Two of the coupons in this plan -- the $3 off $12 Shaving Needs CVS Store Coupon and the $1 Softsoap CVS Store Coupon -- are tied to past purchase history and may not show up on every account. If you do not have them, your total will be roughly $4 higher across the run. Check your CVS app and physical receipts before you head in. Heads up on Coupon24: The $5 off any P&G Product Coupon24 app coupon is a new-user offer. If you have already used Coupon24, you may not see it on your account.

How the Extrabucks Roll Works

The best way to maximize savings at CVS is to separate your transactions to "roll" your Extrabucks. That means do a deal, earn Extrabucks, then use those Extrabucks on your next transaction to lower your out of pocket on the next deal that itself earns more Extrabucks.

For this week's plan, we are starting with a Spend $30 (before coupons), Get Back $10 Extrabuck promotion on several brands. The catch: CVS deals "track," meaning if you make a purchase that only partially hits a threshold, the dollars still count toward future transactions. We start the $30 with Tide Pods in Transaction 1, finish it in Transaction 2, and bank the $10 Extrabuck Reward to roll forward.

🛒 Transaction 1 -- Start the $30 Threshold

Buy (1) Tide Pods at $5.49
📲 Apply $5 off any P&G Product Coupon24 app coupon (new-user offer)
Total before coupons: $5.49
Total after coupons: $0.49 + tax
Pay: $0.49
Get Back: No Extrabucks yet -- $5.49 is tracking toward the $30 threshold. The remaining $24.51 will be finished in Transaction 2.
NOTE: Keep this transaction separate from the razor transaction below. If the $5 P&G coupon attaches to a razor item, it can block one of the $3 razor Coupon24 coupons from applying.

🛒 Transaction 2 -- Finish the $30 + Bank $10 EB

Buy (2) Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste at $6.49 each
📱 Clip $6 off 2 CVS Digital Coupon

Coupons + Apps You Need for This Roll

CVS App / ExtraCare Card -- Powers the digital coupons (Colgate $6 off 2, Neutrogena $5 off 2, Garnier $3 off 2, Softsoap $0.75) and tracks your Extrabuck Rewards as they print. Load every digital coupon before you walk in.
Coupon24 App -- Manufacturer coupons separate from your ExtraCare card. Powers the $5 P&G coupon on Tide and both $3 razor coupons. Pull up your Coupon24 barcode at checkout and the cashier will scan it.
CVS Store Coupons -- Account-specific. The $3 off $12 Shaving Needs and $1 Softsoap coupons live inside your CVS app under "Just for You" if you have them.
A second wallet trip -- The $10.26 you front in Transaction 2 is the only meaningful cash you put down. The rest of the roll is funded by the EB it generates.

New to CVS Couponing?

If this is your first CVS Extrabucks roll, here is the playbook:

Sign up for ExtraCare in the CVS app if you haven't already. The card is what tracks your Extrabucks and clips your digital coupons.
Install Coupon24 and connect at checkout. Coupon24 is a free manufacturer-coupon app that runs separately from CVS. Always pull up your Coupon24 barcode and ask the cashier to scan it before they total you out.
Plan your transaction order, not just your items. The whole point of an EB roll is to use the Extrabucks from the last transaction on the next one. Doing all 11 items in a single ring-out loses the roll.
Front the cash in Transaction 2. The $10.26 you spend there is what funds the entire rest of the roll. Bring it as cash or on a single payment method to make tracking easy.
Watch the EB clock. Extrabucks usually expire 30 days from print. Roll them the same day if you can.
Account-specific coupons are bonus, not required. If you do not have the $3 Shaving Needs or $1 Softsoap CVS Store coupons, your final OOP rises to roughly $6.36 -- still a great deal on $77+ of product.

Tips for This Week's CVS Run

The $30 Spend / Get $10 EB promo is the unlock. Without it, the Tide + razor + Colgate stack does not turn into the $10 EB that funds the rest of the roll. Confirm the promo is live on your account before you start.
Keep Tide Pods in its own transaction. The $5 P&G Coupon24 coupon can attach to Gillette items at the register, which would block one of the $3 razor coupons. Splitting it is cheap insurance.
Gillette BOGO 50% off does the heavy lifting on the razors. That single sale takes the Gillette Sensor3 from $7.79 down to $3.89 before any coupons -- nearly half off without doing anything else.
La Frances Caramel is a deliberate filler. $0.39 to round out Transaction 3 so the $10 EB lands closer to fully used. Filler items are a CVS-rolling staple.
Transactions 3 and 6 are "just tax" trips. If your state has low or no sales tax on the items, both come close to true free out the door.
Watch your receipts. New EB rewards and personalized store coupons often print at the bottom. Snap a picture before you crumple it -- those become next week's plan.
