CVS hack: $45+ FREE per week.

Disclaimer: Company policy officially prohibits the following activity. By officially I mean that customer service reps at both store and corporate levels said so. I requested this policy's documentation in writing but was denied. They were not able to provide an excuse in print, by mail, or on the web prohibiting this activity.


0. We are talking about CVS Pharmacy retail stores here, not the software checkout management system.
- 24-hour and mall stores tend to work best.
1. Have a CVS extra care rewards card.
2. Buy something small every day
- Use your card (duh).
3. I usually get a $0.99 Arizona iced tea or a soda.
- Candy bars and gum work too.
- They have food.
4. Check out which are the nice or new or lax cashiers.
3. Get a "$10 off purchase of $50 or more" coupon back with each purchase.
- You have to rip it off your receipt.
- You will get other coupons.
4. Do this once a day for five days.
5. Go to CVS on the sixth day or later, but before coupons expire.
6. Check in with your cashier.
- Clear your plan with them.
6. Fill a shopping basket of merchandise totaling $50.00 or more.
- Get soda last because it is heavy.
7. Use the flyers, coupons, Extra Bucks and hyigene to help select products.
8. Check out at the register.
- Present coupons and card first.
- They already know your plan because you told them on the way in.
- Five coupons takes $50.00 off; zero minimum balance.
9. Enjoy.


* Notes:

- The registers will take as many coupons as you throw at them!
- You won't always get coupons back with every transaction.
- Associates may be "told not to" do this. Human factor is a big part of this hack.
- A good first line of defense is "It doesn't say on the coupon that they can't be used together."
- I have used this hack 6 times so far. 5 successfully.
- I have checked out with up to nine coupons on one transaction. My total came up to $92, I paid $2.
- Try to do this at your regular CVS. That way they know you.
- I have had to re-shelve a big basket full of stuff because I could not get the clerk or manager to accept multiple of the same coupon. In this case it was not my regular CVS, I didn't check in with the clerk before shopping, and they were about to close. Learn from my mistakes.
- Having a 24-hour CVS is handy.
- Have the customer service phone number in your cell phone. Again, this is still "against company policy" either way.

Trying out some functionality in Aperture 2 re: Apple Video Tutorial

Like anyone else, I'm trying out Aperture 2. I was looking through the video tutorials and after the intro, number two in the huge series was on the power of the keyboard. Here's a windowgrab from messing with the Command Editor. But check the other movies too. Or should I say free suite of courses?

Dear sirs and mesdames,

I bet you only imagined these in your wildest dreams.

Now that I understand what this is all about, I assure you I'm just a quiet citizen using this medium to passively voice opinions and fiction. However I don't plan to stop writing in any demeanor unless asked correctly/politely.


Wow, we really do live in an incredibly interesting world. Thanks to those who keep us all safe. Cheers!

Dear Anything That Creates Carbon Footprints,

Flash 'em that glance like you know.

It's seven past seven and those uptown fags are getting hungry.

But the avocados and cold cuts have gone bad.

I wonder if you'd forgotten about this.

See how far they've come.

Movie comments: "Teeth"

Listen. I watched the movie Teeth.

When I first saw the trailer I was terrified.

Not to bore you, but it's about a teenage girl who literally has a chomping set of teeth in/on/around her vagina. And the horny boys that make passes. And the agony their shafts and tips must experience from the gnashing of a shark-mouth-pussy.

This is the single deepest, most unifying fear of ALL MALES.

The film turns out to be extremely disturbing. And equally interesting. Actually pretty high quality. And if you allow it to be, a dark comedy.



"Congratulations! You've been chosen to win a free iPhone Two!"

and then the cumshot.

The science of tomorrow is literally happening tomorrow.

A serious question.

What if you could manufacture a real, living dragon. I mean what if you had the technology to print in three dimensions, molecule-by-molecule. Computer numerically control the print head so materials and reactions occur at the right place and right time. Then press the green button and spark life.

We're already printing living bacteria. As in, scientists warily agree that the output of these manufacturing systems are verifiably alive critters. Next is rats and plants, then people, then custom creatures. Of course there are technical and moral dilemmas; I think they will be overcome in short time.

With enough dollars and lawyers, I think you could get a real dragon out. Or a chain gang of siamese twin rock stars. Or a billion other things that weren't on the Ark.

And eventually we'll have one machine tell the other not to feed him. They'll only want more. They'll only want more.

Everything's polarized to hell.

If Edwin Land had a facebook account, he would wall you to get off of there and get on with two thousand eight.

This was organic; this is devolved.

I never go looking for beauty anymore.
I never scream what's going on.

I want enough skyscrapers to block out the sun.
I want to wake up choked and deprived.

I see a blanket of dirty permanence.
I see the future as tax class gray.
