You know how a quick trip into CVS for one thing can easily turn into a basket full of essentials? We've all been there! The good news is, if you know how their deals *really* work, you can save a surprising amount of money. It's all about understanding their ExtraBucks Rewards system, and I promise, it's easier than you think.
Let's break down this week's best deals and the simple tricks to becoming a CVS savings pro. (All info is current as of Wednesday, June 11, 2025).
💡 First, What Are ExtraBucks? (This is the Secret to CVS Savings)
Think of ExtraBucks as free CVS money that prints out at the bottom of your receipt after you buy certain items. It's basically a coupon for a specific dollar amount (like $5) that you can spend on almost anything in the store on your *next* trip. The whole game of saving at CVS is to 'roll' these rewards—you use the ExtraBucks you earned last week to help pay for this week's deals, which in turn gives you new ExtraBucks for next week!
🔥 This Week’s Best Deals (Here’s How to Get Them)
Okay, now that you know about ExtraBucks, let's look at this week's offers. These are great opportunities to earn some of that 'free CVS money.'
Summer & Sun Care Deals:
- BOGO 50% Off on Sun Care: This is a great stock-up deal. It works on popular brands like Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, and La Roche-Posay.
- Get $10 ExtraBucks Rewards: You'll get that $10 coupon on your receipt when you spend $30 or more on select summer products (look for the signs in the store!).
- Snack & Drink Deals: Look for weekly specials on favorites like Well Market snacks and Gold Emblem water, with prices often starting at just $2.99.
Beauty & Personal Care Deals:
- Get $5 or $10 ExtraBucks Rewards: You can earn big rewards when you buy select beauty products from amazing brands like SheaMoisture, Mielle, and As I Am.

🎁 How to Become a CVS Savings Pro (Simple Tricks)
Ready to take your savings to the next level? These are the simple habits of every savvy CVS shopper.
- You MUST Use the CVS App: This is not optional for saving money! The app is where you'll find digital coupons. Just tap to 'clip' them before you shop, and they'll apply automatically when you scan your card.
- 'Stack' Your Coupons: This is the magic of CVS. For one item, you can often use a digital manufacturer coupon (from the app) *and* a CVS store coupon (also from the app). This is called stacking, and it's how people get things for incredibly cheap.
- The 98% Rule (An Insider Tip!): For 'Spend $30, Get $10 ExtraBucks' deals, you usually only have to spend 98% of the amount ($29.40) for the reward to print. It's a well-known quirk in their system!
- Scan Your Card at the Red Coupon Machine: When you walk into the store, always scan your ExtraCare card (or enter your phone number) at the big red machine. It often prints out personalized coupons just for you.
✅ The Takeaway
Saving money at CVS is like a fun little game, and it all revolves around earning and spending your ExtraBucks wisely. Don't be intimidated! Just download the app, clip a few coupons for things you already need, and watch for that magic 'ExtraBucks' message on your next receipt. You'll be a pro in no time!
