This is a fun week to shop at CVS! The transactions I created for you have you spending all of your money on the first transaction. After that, you will be rolling Extra Care Bucks on the remaining transactions and you should only have to spend tax! So, you will spend $10 (plus tax) on $59.77 worth of products. AND, you will have $1 ECB leftover to use next time! If you prefer to do just one transaction, you can! Just know that if you do one transaction, your out of pocket spending will be higher and you will be left with more Extra Care Bucks to use next time.
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. If you have Extra Care Bucks leftover from last week, apply those towards your transactions to spend even less out of money!
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 taxesdifferently 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 and you want to use them now, I would put your ECBs towards paper products like toilet paper, paper towels, etc which are hard to get dirt cheap!
