Date night on CVS’s dime

This weekend Ian and I decided to head to CVS to pick up a few items.  Once we made our purchases, the cashier handed us back a coupon for $5 of free goods.  The catch was the expiration was only two weeks away, and we rarely go to CVS.  We looked at each other with the same idea – free money!  (though, yes, I know, it’s not really free since we had to spend money to get money back.)  We went back into the store and picked up another item.  Back to the cash register we went.  Our coupon code was entered and lo and behold, we got another $1 of free goods.  More free money!  We picked up some candy and back to the cash register we went.  By now the cashier was looking a little disgruntled, but like a good sport she rang up our free purchase.  Success!  We left the store with satisfaction, and a whole evening’s entertainment.  Guess I’m a cheap date.
