Multi-Store Haul (06/16): $181+ of Product for $1.93 Across CVS, Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar
Nick (OhioValleyCouponer)Walmart
See how Nick grabbed over $181 worth of products for just $1.93 plus sales tax by stacking sale prices, CVS ExtraBucks, digital coupons, and Ibotta + BeFrugal rebates across CVS, Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar β anchored by a $20 Panera gift card play and a Family Dollar Purex detergent stockpile at $0.10 each.
This week's four-store run is completely INSANE β we scored over $181 worth of products for just $1.93 plus sales tax. The trip is anchored by a $20 Panera gift card play at CVS that pre-funds the haul with $20 in ExtraBucks, a CVS Oral Care moneymaker that pays you $1.81 to take it home, Vanicream Cleansing Bar for FREE, an Arm & Hammer Baking Soda moneymaker at Walmart, Popsicle Bars at Dollar Tree for $0.25 each, and the headline of the week β Purex Detergent at Family Dollar for $0.10 a bottle. Let's break it down store by store.
Heads up on the Ibotta bonus stack: Nick had a midweek Ibotta bonus this week β $3 back for submitting 15 rebates. Always check your Ibotta account before you shop β bonus thresholds vary by user. Some shoppers may need fewer or more rebates to unlock these bonuses.

ποΈ CVS β The Four-Transaction Stack
CVS this week is a 4-transaction sequence where ExtraBucks roll from one transaction to the next. Run them in order to chain $14 in ExtraBucks across your shopping list.
π΅ Transaction 1 β The Panera Gift Card Anchor
Why this works: Nick's family eats at Panera regularly, so buying the gift card at CVS makes total sense β you're essentially "pre-paying" for Panera and getting $20 in free store money to use on the rest of the haul.
- Buy (1) Panera Gift Card at $100.00
- π΅ Get back $20 ExtraBucks Reward when you buy $100 worth
- Buy (1) Solarcaine 4 Oz at $11.99
- π΅ Get back $5 ExtraBucks Reward when you buy (1)
- π Submit $4.99 Ibotta rebate
- Net Price: $2.00
- NOTE: Nick had a 40% off any full-price item CVS store coupon, so he paid $7.19 + tax, got back the $5 ExtraBuck and $4.99 on Ibotta β turning this into a MONEYMAKER. If you have this coupon, do NOT use any ExtraBucks when purchasing. ExtraBucks lower the value of the 40% off coupon.
Roll forward into Transaction 2: $5 + $20 = $25 in ExtraBucks
π΅ Transaction 2 β Oral Care Moneymaker + Bonus Stack
The $10 off $25 Oral Care CVS Coupon is the keystone here β everyone gets it this week. Make sure you hit $25+ in qualifying oral care items before the coupon applies.

Rebate Apps You Need for These Deals
- Ibotta β The headliner. Powers Solarcaine, Orajel, Dial, Nature Valley Bars (x3), Suavitel, Old El Paso, both breads, Suave Body Wash, and Popsicle Bars. Hit 15 rebates for the $3 bonus to bank an extra payout β account-specific, so check your bonuses tab first.
- Fetch β Stack points toward $5 Walmart gift cards on Old El Paso Taco Sauce.
- BeFrugal Rewards β The Purex Detergent moneymaker at Family Dollar is BeFrugal-only β 19,110 points cashes out to $19.61 against a $20 spend.

New to Multi-Store Couponing?
If this is your first four-store run, here is the playbook:
- Open every app before you shop. Activate Ibotta offers, clip Fetch rebates, load your CVS app store coupons and ExtraCare deals, and check BeFrugal Rewards for the Purex Family Dollar offer before you leave the house.
- Check your Ibotta bonuses. The $3 15-rebate bonus is user-specific. Some accounts may have higher or lower thresholds. Tap your bonuses tab before you commit to the plan.
- Check your personalized CVS store coupons. Several deals in this haul lean on $1β$5 store coupons that vary by account (40% off, $3 off deodorant, $1 off cosmetics, $1.50 off Tide). Open the CVS app and the in-store coupon center kiosk to see what you have.
- Run CVS as 4 separate transactions β in order. Each transaction's ExtraBucks fund the next one. T1 gives you $25 in ExtraBucks to anchor T2, which gives you $14 to anchor T3, which gives you $6 to anchor T4. Skip a transaction and the whole chain breaks.
- Do NOT use ExtraBucks if you have the 40% off CVS store coupon. ExtraBucks lower the value of the 40% off coupon and will cost you the moneymaker on Solarcaine.
- Spread your store order. CVS first (in transaction order), then Walmart, then Dollar Tree and Family Dollar to wrap up.
- Submit rebates the same day. Ibotta, Fetch, and BeFrugal all have submission windows β don't sit on receipts.
Tips for This Week's Multi-Store Run
- The $10 off $25 CVS Oral Care coupon is the keystone. Make sure you hit $25+ in qualifying oral care items in a single transaction β it's the lever that turns $28.19 into a $1.81 moneymaker.
- The Panera Gift Card play is a budget hack. If your family eats at Panera anyway, you're "buying" a gift card you would already use and getting $20 in CVS ExtraBucks to fuel the rest of the haul. If you don't eat at Panera, skip this play β don't buy a gift card you won't use.
- Buy your Razors across two transactions. The $4 ExtraBuck Razor reward triggers when you buy 2 razors. Buying one in T2 (Gillette) and one in T3 (Venus) chains the reward into T3's checkout.
- The Family Dollar Purex play is the headline. $0.10 per detergent bottle is freezer-stockpile pricing β grab 4 if you have room.
- Triple-dip Arm & Hammer. Three transactions at Walmart across Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, and MyPoints = up to $9.06 in cashback for free baking soda. The deal reset this week.
- Skip Swagbucks on Suavitel. Swagbucks won't stack β Ibotta gives the better net at $1.47.
- Dollar Tree Popsicle Bars stack with Ibotta. $1.25 retail β $0.25 net with the $2 on 2 Ibotta rebate. Easy summer freezer add-on.
