Well, folks . . . I’m not as dumb as I look.
Quit yer snickering.
As per my blog post HERE, CVS Pharmacy issues mile-long receipts, much to the consternation of those concerned with the environment and our nation’s forests. And whiners just like me.
In addition to the mile-long receipts, CVS fills my email in-box with 30% off coupons, surveys, ads for what is on sale, and pictures of the Kardashians. I’m kidding about the Kardashian pictures. The Kardashians themselves send me those.
The cool thing about the 30% off coupon emails is you can magically send them to your Extracare card, et viola, you get 30% off your purchase without having to remember to bring the darn coupon to the store.
“Why are you going on and on about CVS, Robin?” say you.
“Good question, but bear with me . . . I have a point.” say I.
“A likely story, Robin,” say you.
“Oh ye of little faith,” say I.
As was promised in the Fortune magazine article I mentioned, I found out how you can opt-out of having the in-store coupons printed on your receipt.
Pay attention. This is the part about how I’m not as dumb as I look. There will be a test on it later.
CVS came through on their promise to save trees.
I swear I won’t continue blabbering drivel about mundane topics such as receipts Instead, I will soon be entertaining you with fascinating subjects such as me, myself, and I.

Now that you’re back to blogging, are all of your posts going to be complaints about CVS receipts? Just checking. 😉
Oh no. The rest of my posts will be about the many uses of the paperclip. After that, I’ll move on to Q-tips. Stay tuned. The posts will be riveting!
Oh, thank goodness. I can talk about paperclips foreeeeeever!
I believe you once did an entire post on Scotch Tape, right?
No. I did *one third* of a post on Scotch tape.
And I regret nothing!
And I believe I wholeheartedly agreed with your horror over your wife buying off-brand tape. I am with you on that important issue!
Happy Father’s Day, Mike. I hope you have a wonderful day with your family.
Amateurs. Twice in my life, I have been paid for writing magazine articles in stirring paint!
I’m sure those articles were brilliant!
I did, indeed! Thank you!
Well, looky at that. I HATE all those CVS ‘coupons’ that print out when I buy something there. And I always have my 30% off etc. coupon that I get via e-mail put on my card. I’m going in to my account now and clicking on that right-hand click. EXCELLENT. Good job, Robin!
One thing I discovered recently about those 30% off coupons is that they don’t apply to items already on sale. I was duped! Almost everything at CVS is on sale.
Yes, or when they say $10 off in big letters, but the small words say you have to spend $60…
You’ve saved a tree today. Well done! 😀
Yes, saved a tree and helped to keep our landfills from filling up on CVS receipts! Green Peace may be giving me an award for my efforts.
Now that is an improvement.
Although Molly may miss the fun of the chase game. We shall just tellher we changed stores…
Poor Molly. Buy her some treats with your 30% off coupon on me!
