I am changing up this week’s post to include the gift card deal. My out of pocket total will be well over the $5 per week that I try to stick to, but it will earn me a gift card to save for holiday shopping. I would love to hear what scenarios you come up with this week too! You can earn up to five gift cards this week so please share your deal ideas by leaving a comment! 🙂 This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Extra Care Bucks at CVS. Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your Extra Care Bucks from one scenario to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

It is a pretty slow week at CVS. I am not having any luck creating a scenario with my usual $5 per week budget. This week I will start off with the only “free after ECB” item with an out of pocket total around $17 instead. This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Extra Care Bucks at CVS. Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your Extra Care Bucks from one scenario to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

**Also – Don’t forget that your ECBs will expire in a few weeks and if you let them expire, you are basically throwing away money. If you are concerned you will let them expire, I would put your ECBs towards paper products like toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, etc which are hard to get dirt cheap!
