Then here's where I avoid confrontation.

I go to do my next duracell transaction and she said "Well, this coupon for the batteries is limit one per customer". I told her that right now I am a "new" customer because I am doing a new transaction. She got this look on her face like "uh huh" and went right into the back. This crotchety old manager comes out and goes "Ma'am, this is one per customer. You cannot use anymore" (I say crotchety because of the way he looked and the way he said it was NOT nice). Oooohkay, I didn't want to deal with that so I left my basket of stuff there and left to go to another cvs. I told the cashier that what the manager said was wrong and if they wanted it limited to one household, they should have put that on the coupon but I am a new customer every time I do a new transaction. She agreed and said "I can't do anything about it, it's what they said".

So I left to go to another cvs and thus, we start again.

5 deoderants
2 reinventing beauty magazines


I now have $24 in ecb's for the next sale deal. I won't be going back to cvs for a while... except to get a prescription filled out.
