I get very stressed out about spending $15 if there's nothing that I want or I feel that I'm not getting a good deal. With my heart condition, I'd rather miss out on the $15. Speaking of which, I'm going to the ER very early on Monday morning (like 4am) and I'll probably be in for at least two days unless they tell me that I'm perfectly healthy and to go home. That would be a dream. I was actually hoping that I had covid and that's what was causing all of my chest pain but my test was negative. On the positive side, my EKG is very bad but it's not any worse than it was. My hope is that when I leave the hospital this time that I'll know what's going on rather than have 50 new drugs to take and 20 doctors that I have to see.
One other thing I've come to factor into my decision to buy a GC or not is how likely the purchase is to be safe. I haven't bought a Visa/Mastercard/Vanilla GC in many years now, because they tend to be the ones the scammers try to steal.
Sadly, the Wags near me has very low stock most of the time on many items and large chunks of the store that previously had stuff for sale are now empty. There's wide aisles that used to contain displays that are now just vacant space. Like if they wanted to close early and give ballroom dancing lessons in the space, it would be possible. I suspect they are going to try to adopt the same model as CVS, with in store lab work and that kind of stuff. I've been going to Safeway for my shots and getting 10% off coupons, although I generally buy so little that it hardly seems worth using them. Fortunately, I don't take prescription medicines so that's a venue for discounts that I can't really use. I'm grateful to enjoy good health.
lmao at CVS thinking about the fact I had a bunch of ECB expire. But I actually found a manager that took them all. He said I could use them all but it had to be that day (policy started changing).
rotflmao at the losers at CVS. you could "make a wish" with the Make a wish foundation to get a reissuance on your expired ECB and cvs will still tell you "hell no".

I did the survey, and they refunded my money.
You never know when that can change. I thought that I was in good health because of how athletic I was but it turns out that I was a time bomb.

In the meantime, if you are at home looking for something to watch on TV, my suggestion would be to check out Murder at the End of the World on Hulu. I've watched the first two episodes so far and it has kept my attention. Though not true crime it is about a crime and the main character is an author so another area of interest to you.

I do recall the discussion of returns (here or in the Wags thread?) awhile back, and someone said then that if you're returning something immediately, their register will ask for the ID then. I can't begin to understand how this makes sense, but if that's the only reason it would ask for my ID and I'm returning due to a pricing error, I might just hold the item to the next day and do a return then.
Remember that in most stores, presenting your ID doesn't just impact your returns at THAT store/company, it can impact your ability to do a return at every other store that participates in the database. Returns are documented in a national database. After a certain number of returns, or a certain dollar threshold of total returns, your ability to return anywhere is impacted. I tried a few years ago to figure out what the number or threshold (or combo) was, but that information is kept under close wraps.
