Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at CVS Pharmacy.
The CVS Triple Stack
CVS allows one store coupon + one manufacturer coupon per item. Stack both with a sale price for maximum savings — commonly yields 50-70% off beauty and health items.
ExtraBucks + Buy More Save More
Use your $10 CarePass reward during a Buy More Save More event to hit the spend threshold, earn ExtraBucks on the transaction, then use those ExtraBucks on your next visit.
CarePass + 20% CVS Brand + Sale
CVS brand products already priced 20-40% below national brands. CarePass 20% off stacks with sale prices. Often makes CVS brand the cheapest option in any category.
Digital Coupon + ExtraBucks Redemption
Use ExtraBucks from last week's shopping trip as partial payment today, apply a digital coupon to the remaining balance, and earn new ExtraBucks — creating a perpetual savings loop.
Price Match Policy
CVS Pharmacy's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.
No Competitor Price Match

Rain Checks Available
If an advertised sale item is out of stock, CVS will issue a rain check so you can purchase at the sale price when it's restocked.
