Synopsis[]
Carrie discovers a "loop hole" in the system, where she has up to 30 days to return items she purchases. Soon, it gets out of hand and she fills up her entire office with a temporary wardrobe.
Storyline[]
When Doug and Carrie notice that they are starting to get out of debt and doing better with their money, they decide to go out and buy something for themselves. Carrie goes out and buys a $400 dollar jacket which makes Doug freak out. So when Carrie goes back to return it she figures out a loop hole in the system by returning the stuff she buys so she doesn't really ever buy anything. Spence's girlfriend Denise meets his dog Alan, but Denise is really frightened of dogs.

Trivia[]
- Note: Jerry Stiller (Arthur), Nicole Sullivan (Holly) and Gary Valentine (Danny) are all credited, but do not appear in the episode.
- Interesting: the translation of the saleswomen (w) and her boss (b) at the shoe Store (13:00) is: „w: Hendrich? b: yes w: This man wants to exchange his shoes. And I don‘t want to mess it up. Do I need to enter it as an „replacememt“. b: No, no, no. Enter it as a „retraction“. Otherwise his expenses won‘t match.“ (So he was about to return the shoes accordingly to Carries recommendation, but then Doug left.)
