Here’s the challenge: take $10 and buy as much as you can while taking advantage of CVS’s Extra Care bucks deals combined with coupons.
Tips:
- Do multiple transactions!
- Use your ECBs from the previous transaction to pay for the next one.
- Make sure to scan your card at the red Savings Center Machine. You never know what coupon you might get!
- Split them up through the week, or do them all in one trip – whatever is easiest for you!
Here’s the scenario I came up with this week:
Transaction #1:
- Buy (2) Colgate Total Lasting White 500 ml for $4.99 each
- Use (2) $2/1 Colgate Mouthwash or Mouth Rinse, exp. 7/25/15 (SS 06/28/15) [480-ml.+; Limit 4]
- Pay $5.98, get back $5 ECB
Transaction #2:
- Buy (1) Colgate Max Toothpastes for $2.99
- Buy (2) Right Guard Deodorants or Body Wash for $6

- Use (1) $2/2 Right Guard Antiperspirant Deodorant Products, exp. 7/26/15 (RP 06/28/15) OR $2/2 Right Guard Body Wash, exp. 7/26/15 (RP 06/28/15) [Limit 4]

That’s it! In three transactions, you can get seven items for $8.46. The total value is $32.95.
Here’s an extra transaction you can do if you want to buy a couple of Clairol haircolors for just $1.99 each. Substitute this transaction as #2 then proceed with the rest of them as transaction 3 and 4. Your total will be $12.44 for nine items.
- Buy (2) Clairol Nice n’ Easy Haircolors for $7.49 each
- Use (2) $3/1 Clairol Hair Color, exp. 8/8/15 (SS 07/12/15)
