CVS Deals 11/2: $2.96 Haul With a $100 Gift Card
Roll ExtraBucks through six CVS transactions for 19 products and a $100 gift card. Pay $108.46 before tax, then receive $5.50 in eligible rebates and bonus rewards for a $102.96 net, including the gift card's $100 value.
This CVS deal plan gets you 19 products plus a $100 gift card for $102.96 after rebates, before tax, when all the listed coupons, rewards, and bonus apply. Set aside the gift card's $100 face value, and the products work out to just $2.96 net.
For video walkthroughs and more couponing tips, visit Nick's OhioValleyCouponer YouTube channel. Below, you'll find all six transactions in order so you can follow the ExtraBucks from one checkout to the next.
The advertised deal window for this plan is November 1–7, 2026. Digital coupons and app rebates may disappear sooner, so check everything before buying the gift card that starts the haul.
Deal Summary
| What to Know | Breakdown |
|---|---|
| Store | CVS, in store |
| Deal dates | November 1–7, 2026; individual coupons and rebates may end sooner |
| Purchases | 19 products plus one eligible $100 gift card |
| Transactions | Six separate checkouts |
| Total paid at the register | $108.46 before tax |
| Later rebates and bonus | $2.50 Swagbucks + $2.50 Ibotta + $0.50 Ibotta bonus |
| Net including the gift card | $102.96 before tax |
| Product net after separating $100 gift-card value | $2.96 before tax |
| ExtraBucks remaining from this plan | $0, because all $48 earned are rolled into later transactions |
The $2.96 figure is not your checkout payment, and the gift card is not cash back. This plan makes the most sense if you already want to spend $100 with one of the participating gift-card brands.
Before You Shop
- Check every coupon first: Load the digital coupons listed below to the same ExtraCare account you'll use throughout the trip. CVS requires qualifying items to match the coupon's brand, size, quantity, and other terms (CVS coupon policy).
- Confirm the gift-card promotion: Look for the $20 ExtraBucks offer on the eligible $100 card before purchasing. Do not substitute a different brand or denomination without checking the promotion.
- Activate the rebates: Confirm the Halls offer in Swagbucks and the Ricola offers and bonus in Ibotta. The Ricola calculation needs two $1.25 redemptions plus the separate $0.50 bonus.
- Budget for tax: All totals below are before tax. Tax treatment depends on state law and coupon type, and coupons exclude taxes (CVS coupon policy).
How Rolling ExtraBucks Works
The idea is to earn ExtraBucks in one transaction and apply them to the next, lowering the amount you pay at later checkouts. CVS allows ExtraBucks redemption on a subsequent transaction with the associated ExtraCare account (ExtraCare terms).
This plan starts with no existing ExtraBucks. Buy the gift card first, confirm that the $20 reward has issued, then follow the five product transactions below.
Keep the transactions separate and check each reward before moving on. If a reward does not issue, pause and resolve it rather than assuming the next checkout will match the listed payment.
Start With the $100 Gift Card
Transaction 1: Earn $20 ExtraBucks
- Buy: One eligible $100 gift card for Wayfair, Chipotle, Zift Zillions of Gifts, or H&M.
- Pay: $100.
- Earn: $20 ExtraBucks for the qualifying $100 gift-card purchase.
- Next step: Use the $20 ExtraBucks in Transaction 2.
The gift card retains its $100 face value for use under that card's own terms. It is separate from the ExtraBucks used to pay for the CVS products, and ExtraBucks cannot be exchanged for gift cards or cash (CVS coupon policy).
Household and Cough-Drop Deals
Transaction 2: P&G Products and Halls
The six P&G products total $30.04 before coupons, clearing the $30 purchase requirement by $0.04 at the listed prices. Halls is a separate buy-two promotion, not part of that P&G subtotal.
| Product | Quantity and Price | Coupon |
|---|---|---|
| Febreze Spray, Bathroom Fresheners, or 1-count Car Clips | 2 at $3.49 = $6.98 | $3.50 off 2 digital |
| Aussie Stylers | 2 at $5.79 = $11.58 | $5 off 2 digital |
| Tide Laundry Detergent OR Gain Liquid Fabric Softener | 1 at $5.49 | $1 off 1 digital for the chosen product |
| Dawn Powerwash | 1 at $5.99 | $2 off 1 digital |
| Halls Cough Drops | 2 at $3.19, BOGO 50% off = $4.79 | No coupon included |
- Subtotal: $34.83.
- Digital coupons: Subtract $11.50.
- After coupons: $23.33.
- Roll: Apply the $20 ExtraBucks from Transaction 1.
- Pay: $3.33 plus tax.
- Earn: $10 ExtraBucks for the qualifying P&G purchase and $2 ExtraBucks for two Halls.
- Submit: $2.50 Swagbucks rebate on the two Halls.
Choose either Tide detergent or Gain liquid fabric softener, not both, for this basket. Confirm that each selected P&G item belongs to the same spend-$30 promotion and that the Halls rebate accepts your exact package.
Toothpaste, Sponges, and Personal Care
Transaction 3: Colgate Total and Total Home Sponges
| Product | Quantity and Price | Coupon or Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Colgate Total Toothpaste | 2 at $4.99 = $9.98 | $4 off 2 digital; expected $5 ExtraBucks on the spend-$10 promotion |
| Total Home Heavy Duty Sponges, 3-count packs | 2 at $3.49 = $6.98 | $5 ExtraBucks when buying 2 |
- Subtotal: $16.96.
- Digital coupon: Subtract $4.
- After coupons: $12.96.
- Roll: Apply the $10 and $2 ExtraBucks from Transaction 2.
- Pay: $0.96 plus tax.
- Earn: Two $5 ExtraBucks rewards, $10 total.
The Colgate calculation assumes the $9.98 purchase qualifies under the commonly described “98%” threshold. It is above $9.80, which is 98% of $10.
Transaction 4: Lysol Wipes and Cetaphil
| Product | Quantity and Price | Coupon or Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Lysol Wipes, 80 count | 2 at $10.79 BOGO = $10.79 for the pair | $1 digital coupon, if permitted and applied; $3 ExtraBucks when buying 2 |
| Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar, 1 count | 1 at $5.29 | $5 off 1 CVS store coupon for qualifying facial care |
- Subtotal: $16.08.
- Coupons: Subtract $6.
- After coupons: $10.08.
- Roll: Apply both $5 ExtraBucks rewards from Transaction 3.
- Pay: $0.08 plus tax.
- Earn: $3 ExtraBucks for the Lysol pair.
Finish With Laundry and Ricola
Transaction 5: Suavitel Fabric Softener
- Buy: Two Suavitel Fabric Softeners, 25 oz, at $3.39 with BOGO 50% off.
- Subtotal: $5.09 for the pair.
- Roll: Apply the $3 ExtraBucks from Transaction 4.
- Pay: $2.09 plus tax.
- Earn: $3 ExtraBucks for buying two.
No digital coupon is included in this transaction. Use the newly earned $3 reward for the Ricola purchase that finishes the haul.
Transaction 6: Ricola Cough Drops
- Buy: Two qualifying Ricola Cough Drops at two for $5.
- Subtotal: $5.
- Roll: Apply the $3 ExtraBucks from Transaction 5.
- Pay: $2 plus tax.
- Ibotta: Submit $1.25 per qualifying package, twice, for $2.50.
- Bonus: Earn another $0.50 if your account has the bonus and both redemptions satisfy its terms.
- Total later reward: $3 with the bonus.
Without the $0.50 bonus, the pair earns $2.50 back instead of $3. The full product net would then be $3.46 before tax, with all other offers unchanged.
Full Transaction Comparison
The register-payment column already subtracts the ExtraBucks rolled from the prior transaction. Do not subtract those same rewards again when calculating the final haul cost.
| Transaction | Purchase | Before Coupons | Coupons | ExtraBucks Used | Pay Before Tax | ExtraBucks Earned | Later Rebates and Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eligible $100 gift card | $100.00 | $0 | $0 | $100.00 | $20 | $0 |
| 2 | P&G products and Halls | $34.83 | $11.50 | $20 | $3.33 | $12 | $2.50 Swagbucks |
| 3 | Colgate and Total Home sponges | $16.96 | $4.00 | $12 | $0.96 | $10 | $0 |
| 4 | Lysol and Cetaphil | $16.08 | $6.00 | $10 | $0.08 | $3 | $0 |
| 5 | Suavitel | $5.09 | $0 | $3 | $2.09 | $3 | $0 |
| 6 | Ricola | $5.00 | $0 | $3 | $2.00 | $0 | $2.50 Ibotta + $0.50 bonus |
| Total | 19 products + $100 gift card | $177.96 | $21.50 | $48 | $108.46 | $48 | $5.50 |
Final Haul Math
The 19 products have a combined sale-price subtotal of $77.96, separate from the $100 gift card. After the coupons and rolled ExtraBucks, the product transactions require $8.46 before tax at the register.
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gift-card purchase | $100.00 |
| Product checkout payments combined | $8.46 |
| Total register outlay before tax | $108.46 |
| Halls Swagbucks rebate | −$2.50 |
| Ricola Ibotta rebates | −$2.50 |
| Ricola Ibotta bonus, if eligible | −$0.50 |
| Net including the $100 gift card | $102.96 |
| Separate gift-card face value | $100.00 |
| Effective product net | $2.96 before tax |
All $48 in promotional ExtraBucks earned in this plan are used within the six transactions. There are no remaining promotional ExtraBucks to deduct again, and no extra receipt rewards or unlisted bonuses are included.
If you skip the gift-card purchase and start without existing ExtraBucks, the same product sequence would require $28.46 before tax at checkout and net $22.96 after the listed rebates and bonus. That comparison keeps the coupons and later product rewards unchanged but removes the first $20 reward.
