I have it in my car so I remember to do it on the way home. </p> <p>I bought two cans of coconut milk for $3.39 each. I needed it so I had to buy it. I then realized I need to stop at the asian market and they had coconut milk on sale for $0.99! Yup, definitely returning these two cans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570594 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:52:28 +0000 dagret 1570594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've bought my store's brand organic ultrapasteurized milk that was within date and spoiled - TWICE! Once I bought salmon that smelled fishy when I got home. That store gives you 2x the money back when you return something b/c it's not fresh.</p> <p>And once the local grocer sold my husband ROTTEN mussels. I'm not even sure how the meat guy got them in the bag. They were awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570578 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:49:38 +0000 Happygal 1570578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just once. A loaf of bread was moldy and I had just bought it the day before.</p> <p> @mrs. bird: that's a good husband! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570490 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:18:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1570490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570480 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:15:29 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1570480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll return anything.

I might if it was just abhorrently bad, but so far I haven't encountered anything that terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570457 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:09:00 +0000 mfa_lady 1570457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go back recently and return a bag of coffee--I had accidentally gotten DH decaf, and that would NOT have made for a happy morning! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570444 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:05:34 +0000 Rocker2014 1570444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times, once when I bought a bunch of candy for work and didn't end up needing it I returned it the next day ($20 worth) and for spoiled meat that wasn't past expiration date. Never had a problem - good customer service! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570438 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:04:05 +0000 cmomma17 1570438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have returned yogurt that was already expired on the day I bought it (didn't check the date in the store - but it shouldn't have been on the shelf!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570422 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:57:08 +0000 Caly 1570422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that I can remember...usually I figure it isn't worth the trip back to the store, then there's the trying to find the receipt issue. If it was a decent chunch of change I'd consider it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570394 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:44:32 +0000 chopsuey 1570394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it many times.<br /> Strawberries that are bad, food items that have expired or past their sell by date.<br /> It's annoying, but I just tell the cashier or customer service the next time I go and they give me my money back, or let me have the same item for free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570391 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:44:05 +0000 mrs. bird 1570391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made mr.

I called and asked if I needed to hold onto the receipt or item and they said just to tell the cashier next time I was in and they would take it off my next bill. What great customer service! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570385 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:41:59 +0000 sheskrafty 1570385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have returned meat that has spoiled well before the expiration date but I don't think I'd return produce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570382 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:41:16 +0000 IRunForFun 1570382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have returned meat that was bad when I bought it.

I have returned food to costco, but not the regular grocery store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570372 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:38:14 +0000 snowjewelz 1570372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've bought too much of some things and returned the next day. Usually nothing perishable though. I'm bad at portioning so I always end up buying more than I need, and sometimes I don't want to keep the extra's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-returned-something-to-the-grocery-store#post-1570361 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:35:25 +0000 BSB 1570361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There have been times I've been tempted if I got a piece of fruit (like a Mango) or vegetable that was bad when I sliced into to it, but I don't think I actually went back to the store to do it. </p> <p>I did get money back because of a price adjustment or the cashier charged me twice. </p>
