I learned two things this week. First, if you have CVS dollar off coupons (ex. $5 off a $25 purchase) and you don't make it all the way to $25, the cashiers usually don't make a big deal, as long as you are close to the said amount the coupon still works. Secondly, I did read about rainchecks but obviously I still didn't understand how it worked. The raincheck doesn't expire and it includes the sale price and the ECB. I can't imagine how many things I wanted to buy but I thought oh well since it out of stock, well out of luck.
