HA! I found an advantage to not cooking or baking much. The thought that I had baked crustychewey brownies would never occur to any guest of mine. If they like or don’t like something they would just ask me where I bought them. :)

I like how your daughter has learned a productive way to help her reach her goal of leaving the store sooner. Her quick thinking will serve her well in life! Her idea to take s picture of the tag is a great one. I will do that next time I think something is not marked correctly.

Sometimes I do it, but other times I just let it go. I will say that the strictness of some return policies (Target!!) makes me wonder. For example, I was simply trying to change a size of some Circo clothing (their brand) one time. I didn’t have the receipt, but I needed a different size. It’s their brand!!

KMart did the same thing once. My mother-in-law had bought some clothes. I just needed a different size, but they insisted that since it wasn’t “the same item” they had to ring it up as a return at the sale value, which was half price. Ridiculous.

Bless your poor husband! lol I’m not a return junkie, but I have once returned a half eaten box of clementine oranges…not realizing until we had eaten half the box that they were bad! I got my money back and a fresher bag of fruit.
My Mom loves to return things–I think she feels like she is getting over on somebody. It never hurts to try though. The customer is always right and they can’t say no to you :-)

My mom is a habitual returner, too. If something isn’t right, she takes it back. Needless to say, I spent most of my teen years cringing behind various store displays. But now you’ve inspired me to start checking receipts, because you never know!

Good for you. I only wish I had the guts to do that. I mean, paying as much as we do now for things, we should at least expect quality. Send some of that courage my way.

I found your blog via Musings of a Housewife and I am so glad I did- this made me laugh out loud! I never knew you were even allowed to return food!

Soliloquy- did you know that Target has a new policy where you have a certain number of returns per year that you are allowed to do without a receipt? I am not sure how they keep track of this. But recently my mother had reached her limit (I believe it is 3) and can no longer return sans receipt. Just fyi.

I actually returned some protein/energy bars to the Costco this week because they were ruin-your-teeth-stale.

I thought of you while I waited in line to return them. I was thinking that your influence on returning items is a good thing my life.
And certainly my pocketbook!

Also, I loved your guest post over at Musings! It’s a good day when i get to read TWO Darcie posts!

Yes, I came over from Musings and love your sense of humor and willingness to share you lowest point. I never return anything but feel all those same outrages, mostly because I don’t want to waste my emotions on the cashier. I want to do the price checker camera thing, now!

I’m a huge returner to places like Wal-Mart – not so much on the food. After your last post about it, though, I did check my receipt and find that my hard rolls rang up incorrectly. Wonder if Kroger does the free thing? I wasn’t going to bother for a dime, but for free I will start paying attention!
