Today I headed out to CVS to get the school supply deals expiring today. When Megan returns she will need to work her deals so when she is at college (without me) she will be prepared. Sunday I Shopped CVS and confused Megan’s and my ECBs and was quite annoyed with myself. I did learn a few things: 1) always have your coupons/ECBs in order when shopping and 2) ECBs issued to one card WILL work on a different card as long as the deal has not already been redeemed. That confused me, too. Basically, I used Megan’s $1.98 ECB for the rulers when I shopped with my CVS card, so I could not use the $1.98 ECB issued to me with my card. I was able to redeem it when I used Megan’s card, though. Not sure that is really useful information, but it is information.
