Before You Go — Prep Checklist

Load ALL digital coupons in the CVS app. Every transaction below depends on a clipped digital coupon. If it's not clipped before you scan, it won't come off.
Sign up for Swagbucks and Ibotta if you haven't. Both rebates in this haul stack on top of ECBs and digital coupons.
Bring your CVS ExtraCare card / phone number. ExtraBucks won't print without it.
Ask the cashier to run each transaction separately. Or use self-checkout and start a new transaction each time.
Check ECBs on your receipt after each transaction before starting the next one — they print at the bottom.

New to CVS ExtraBucks Rolling?

If this is your first ECB roll, here is the playbook:

What's an ECB roll? ExtraBucks are CVS store credit that print on your receipt when you buy qualifying products. You spend them on the NEXT transaction, which prints new ECBs — that's the "roll." Done right, one small investment funds an entire haul.
Always start with the biggest ECB earner. Transaction 1 (Nivea) is what funds every other transaction — never skip it.
ECBs adjust down. If your basket costs less than your ECB, the ECB adjusts down to match the basket total (you lose the difference). Aim for baskets slightly LARGER than your incoming ECB to maximize each roll — but in this haul, the clearance basket adjust-down is fine because we're finishing the roll.
Digital coupons stack with ECBs. Every transaction here uses a digital coupon PLUS the ECB. Clip everything in the CVS app before you go.
Submit Ibotta and Swagbucks rebates the same day. Both apps have short submission windows and account-specific offers — verify each before you buy.
Save your final $4 ECB. After Transaction 5, you'll still have $4 in ExtraBucks ready to roll into next week's haul.

Tips for This Week's Roll

Verify Crest Mouthwash Ibotta variety. The $1 rebate is on select varieties only. Check the Ibotta app in-store before adding it to your basket.
Grab clearance ASAP. Velveeta Cups at $0.57, Lipton Tea at $1.57, and Truvia at $1.37 are clearance prices — they may not be available at every store.
Colgate Total 3 Oz is the sweet spot. The $6 off 2 digital coupon plus $5 ECB makes the 3 Oz size a moneymaker in the roll — larger sizes may not qualify.
Watch the ECB adjust-down in T3, T4, T5. Each of these transactions costs slightly less than the incoming ECB. That's OK for the roll but it means you're losing pennies on each — plan your basket sizes accordingly if you want to squeeze more value.
Your ExtraCare tracker matters. Some CVS accounts get a bonus "$5 off $25" or spend-based bonus offer that layers on top of this roll. Check your app before you leave home.
