Carrie starts buying and returning clothes so she can wear expensive clothing without paying for it.
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.—Anonymous
Doug and Carrie buy presents. Doug gets himself a harmonica and Carrie buys herself an expensive leather jacket. Doug is shocked and he wants Carrie to take the jacket back to the store. But when she finds out that she could have kept the clothing for another seven days and get a refund, Carrie thinks up a plan to get new clothes and return them to the store in time, without paying a dime.
