Did you know that all you have to do at Trader Joes or Haggens is tell them something you bought was bad & they'll give you a refund? You don't have to bring it in. You don't have to go to a special "returns" desk. Just tell the cashier and they will take the dollar amount off of your order. Its pretty nice, because I am always so peeved when I buy produce that goes bad in a day, or a bakery treat that ends up being stale. Totally honor system. I like it.

hmm, Costco should learn about this...I can never bring myself to haul back the carton of cherries that went bad after two days. Or maybe I just have to realize that Jeff and I are NOT a family of 6 and couldn't possibly eat 3lbs of cherries, 12 peaches, and 2lbs of blueberries in a couple of days. One fruit at a time Jenny, one fruit at a time...

Costco is the same way-- you don't have to bring the items in, but the receipt is helpful.

(jenny on the front porch)- I do the same thing, but have had much success by drying those last items. That way they don't get wasted, plus they last a lot longer!
