Apparantly its their guarantee for their brand. Sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2526982 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 08:17:32 +0000 catomd00 2526982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm way too lazy. Getting to the store once is difficult enough lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2526891 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 21:22:18 +0000 Rocker2014 2526891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, a few bad cuts of meat and party foods that I bought way too much of (chips/candy, still sealed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2526852 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 19:38:45 +0000 travellingbee 2526852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup several times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2526830 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 18:03:08 +0000 Finfan 2526830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because I'm lazy and there has never been anything egregious. One time DH returned an unopened box of formula to Target because we had one left over after transitioning to WCM and they gave him the money back and threw it out. So we probably should have just used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2526828 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 17:55:05 +0000 caterw 2526828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! I used to manage a grocery store and we took stuff back ALL THE TIME. We were pretty good about looking at expiration dates and spot checking things for freshness, but things get missed when you carry thousands of products. Take it back, and if they hassle you, shop somewhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511956 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:27:48 +0000 youboots 2511956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup moldy bread recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511948 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:22:43 +0000 FancyGem 2511948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have returned food a few items. They apologized and let me get my money back or exchange it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511941 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:20:26 +0000 psw27 2511941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I should! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511740 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:59:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2511740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I returned blueberries I bought the previous day. Once, I opened the carton I saw that they were moldy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511633 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:02:55 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2511633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. A pizza from the deli and got home to see it had mold on it and was expired! So gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511629 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:00:32 +0000 pastemoo 2511629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: I have only returned something once, but it was a 6 pack of beer and one of the bottles was half full and the lids were still securely on there--it was creepy.<br /> I expected them to give me crap but they took it back and I went and got a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511620 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 12:57:19 +0000 Torchwood 2511620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! My mom works for Publix and she's encouraged me to many times. They really want to make it right. They accept all returns, no matter the reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511490 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:50:18 +0000 PinkElephant 2511490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - moldy (hidden berries in a box) fruit and sour/curdled milk (still within expiration date). The manager exchanged them for me no issues both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511487 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:49:53 +0000 petitenoisette 2511487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I recently returned a pouch that had a hole in it. Glad I noticed before I gave it to my daughter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511460 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:38:25 +0000 sunny 2511460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup a yogurt that had a hole in the top and a box of portioned oatmeal that had a manufacturing defect (none of the individual packs were sealed and it all came pouring out!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511448 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:32:14 +0000 ValentineMommy 2511448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Some yogurt that I realized had expired the day before I bought it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511439 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:28:36 +0000 Caly 2511439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I returned some pre-made pasta that was moldy. I was already planning a trip to the store that day so it was easy to bring it along. I'm too lazy to make a special trip though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511434 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:23:40 +0000 Chillybear 2511434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've returned rotten produce and my store has a policy that they refund + double your money back - must have a receipt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511420 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:12:08 +0000 Charm54 2511420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad I'm not the only one!! I'm going to return it tonight when I go back to buy my third (ugh) package !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511416 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:11:45 +0000 skipra 2511416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes things that I didn't realize were expired or weren't properly sealed. But honestly I usually forget it and it ends up getting tossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511402 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:01:04 +0000 pachamama 2511402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, one time my pepper had a live bug inside it!!<br /> Another time the produce was just disgusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511385 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:52:33 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2511385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes - opened a container of blueberries an hour after I got home, and the ones in the middle (that I couldn't see in the store) were covered in mold! I was nervous, but they didn't bat an eye. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511364 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:41:45 +0000 IRunForFun 2511364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, once I had bought a pork tenderloin from the meat counter and when I went to make it that night it smelled AWFUL. It had clearly gone bad. I double wrapped it in Ziploc bags, kept the paper with label it came in, and returned in the next day.</p> <p>I've also returned bread that was moldy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511361 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:39:33 +0000 looch 2511361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I returned some cut fruit that was so unripe it wasn't edible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511358 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:39:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2511358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have returned stuff I bought too much of for parties, etc. </p> <p>I don't think I've returned bad food.. Probably just threw it out and didn't think about it at the moment, or feel like it's too much hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511334 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:27:25 +0000 Happygal 2511334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: that is pretty weak, especially considering how much $$ that store rakes in.</p> <p>I think I returned moldy bread once. I would definitely return expired food. We bought sausage from Whole Foods that was spoiled, but we didn't want to keep stinky food around and just threw it away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511313 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:15:39 +0000 avivoca 2511313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've returned rotten fruit, PB that the seal had come off of, and a glucose meter. They gave me crap about the meter, but the rest was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511305 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:10:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2511305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck! We have and they never question it. Mostly produce that has gone bad within like 1-2 days of purchase. We keep most things in the fridge so it shouldn't spoil that easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-anything-to-the-grocery-store#post-2511303 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:09:40 +0000 PurplePeony 2511303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have -- milk that went bad almost two weeks before the sell-by date, bagged salad that was slimy when I opened it, fruit that went rotten within a day or two, etc. Its super annoying but at least they've always been good about it. </p>
