For the past couple of months, my receipt (收据) has included another receipt. That receipt can give some money off the price of gas at a local gas station. That is to say, with the receipt, you can pay less when you fill your car up with gas. Through this past weekend, I have collected 12 of these receipts. Each receipt can help to save 6 cents or 7 cents each litre if you buy up to 75 litres. This is pretty sweet.
I don't have a car. So today I took all the receipts to my company and gave them to my coworkers. It was fun. We ended up talking about the kinds of cars they had and how much this could save them on a fillup. They even told me they could give me a ride to some place if I needed one.
I felt relieved that I was able to give them all away. The deadline (截止日期) on them is at the end of next month and I wanted to make sure they would all be used.
There are 13 happy people from this exchange - the 12 I gave receipts to, and me.
