Well I was at the Reseda CVS on Victory/Tampa Store # 9615 and noticed they had a deal going on Banana Boat Sunscreen spend $20 and get $10 Extra Bucks. It wasn't advertised in the weekly ad or any of the other stores I visited so this might not be going on at every store but I wanted to share in case anyone needed to stock up and had this deal going on at their store also. The advertised tag said it's going on from 7/24-7/30 so there are a few days left. Even if this deal isn't going on at your local CVS it's a good example in rolling your CVS Extra Bucks so in future sales you can try out something similar.
This is what I purchased and below that I show and explain what coupons I had and used for my purchase.
These are the coupons I started out with
Earlier this week I got a printable coupon in my email from CVS for $5 off $25. They have started the option of sending the coupon to your ExtraCare Card but I keep better track of physical coupons than remembering I have a digital coupon so printing works best for me.
I also had a few Manufacture Coupons and combined that with some sales that had Extra Bucks back.

3 Softsoap Liquid or Foaming Hand Soap $2.00 sale price $3.49 reg price
Buy 3 Get $3.00 Extra Bucks
MQ 3 - $0.35/1 Softsoap Liquid Hand Soap SS 7/24
Total $6.00 Paid $4.95 Received $3.00 EB
3 Banana Boat Sunscreen $6.99 sale price
Spend $20.00 Get $10.00 Extra Bucks
MQ 3 - $1.00/1 Banana Boat Suncare Product 4oz+ SS 6/26
Total $6.00 Paid $4.95 Received $3.00 EB
3 Banana Boat Sunscreen $6.99 sale price
Spend $20.00 Get $10.00 Extra Bucks
MQ 3 - $1.00/1 Banana Boat Suncare Product 4oz+ SS 6/26
Total $20.97 Paid $17.97 Received $10.00 EB
My total before any coupons came to $26.97
Since I got over $25 I used my coupon I got in my email from CVS for $5 off $25 = $21.97
Then I handed my MQ's to the cashier which brought my total to $17.92
Lastly I gave the cashier my Extra Bucks. I always give these last because they are just like cash and you don't want to give your bucks back before coupons because that can bring your total down and sometimes that can conflict with the coupons you are trying to use (i.e. your total is less than the coupon).
So I had the $10 Extra Bucks from this deal and I also had a $5.00 Extra Bucks print out because I spent $50 in beauty and if you join the beauty club you get $5.00 EB for each $50.00 spent in qualifying beauty products and they also give you Extra Bucks on your birthday. Sign up if you haven't now, you can do so from the CVS website.
My GRAND TOTAL came to: $2.92 (not including tax) for $46.24 worth of products

I received $13.00 Extra Bucks ($10 from Banana Boat and $3 from Softsoap)
Now I have $13.00 Extra Bucks still remaining after my purchase earlier this week and this.
I hope this helps explain how I try to maximize my Extra Bucks by keeping them rolling every week. Some shopping trips wont be as great and there are many times I buy items and do not get Extra Bucks back but that's when I use Extra Bucks I earned to purchase things I might not have a coupon for or it might be an item that hardly goes on sale.
