Returning Things

Don't be afraid to take things back! Anything. Just be sure to hold onto your receipts, that makes it easier. I have folders for receipts (Walmart, Costco, Target), (Drug Stores), (Grocery Stores), (Athletic stores-Dicks, Omega, Sport Authority), (JCPenny), etc. Often I make grocery lists for my husband and attach the coupons, mostly he ignores them, when I finally decide to go ahead and pick up the items, that's usually on the same day he might decide to go shopping as well. There have been occasions we have bought duplicate items. I take them all back. Some asparagus he picked up from the grocery store last week that looked terrible plus it was on sale for cheaper at another store. The Harris Teeter asparagus is in the frig in a bag with the receipt. I will return it when I need to go back to the store again along with the crab legs in the freezer that didn't smell fresh when we unwrapped them last week. Several times I purchased hard good items at Costco or other places only to see them go on sale a couple of months later. (I also save packaging for awhile), I return them for the sale price. When I buy clothes (anywhere), on sale of course, I will check back to see if the items get marked down again, if so, I take the receipt and get an adjustment on the item(s)! I've purchased plants from Home Depot or Lowes, and on occasion, they have not survived (not sure if the dog marking them had anything to do with it), but they are guaranteed for a year, if the year is not up, I dig them up and return them. Just be sure to be nice to the sales person when you're explaining why you're returning.
