A Newbie CVSer’s ECB Rescue!

If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen this post recently about teaching my younger brother how to CVS.

So I had to share this email update that I received from him this weekend.  I love the lengths that he went to in order to rescue those ECBs!

“So, I made the purchases.  It went well, with a slight hitch.

I stopped at the gas station on my way to CVS.  Once I pulled into CVS, I looked on the car seat beside me for my ECB’s…and they were gone!  Then I remembered hearing a rippling of paper when I had opened the car door at the gas station, and my heart sunk.  It was a windy day today.  My ECB’s had flown out the door!  I don’t know if my ExtraCare card will show them a record of my ECB’s?  But I had a feeling I really had to have the paper receipts with me.  That was almost the end of my ECB spree.

So I drove back to the gas station.  Sure enough, there were my ECB’s, lying in a puddle! 🙂  I wiped them off with a napkin, held them in front of the heater vent in my car, and although they were damp, they looked good to me!  And I used them!”

I had to laugh that he wiped his ECB’s off with a napkin and dried them with his car heater.  I’d say that the CVS bug has definitely hit him.  🙂

How about you?  Have you ever gone to great lengths to rescue YOUR coupons?
