As you can see my RR’s did not print at the second store and the cashier tried to tell me it was because I had used coupons (we’ve all heard that before.) At that point there was a line forming so I asked if she could call a manager over after she took care of the other customers and she had one paged over to cosmetics for me. The assistant manager was really nice when I told him the RR’s didn’t print and just ‘exchanged’ the Ecotrin and put the money on my gift card. So instead of $4 in RR’s I got $4.35 on my gift card. Even better! I still have 2 more Ecotrin coupons to use before the end of the week but thankfully I’m done with the RR’s that were expiring this week(hence the random purchases :)).

How’d you do this week?
