When a present breaks.....call the company!

We bought a Thermos for my son for Christmas. It fell out of the refrigerator 2 days after Christmas and broke the top. Without a working top, it's basically worthless. Trash. right?

So what did I do?
  • I googled to find the phone number for the Thermos company.
  • Explained what broke to the customer service rep.
  • Asked if they could replace the piece?
  • The lady said....... Sure. Normally we would charge but because of the Christmas season, we'll replace it for FREE!

If you need something, it never hurts to just ask!

Great Tip! Believe it or not, but I bought 4 of those Thermos & 2 of the lids have broke. I figured I was just out of luck. I will let you know how I do.

Grocery deals without coupons - Aldi

Image
Most of the time, I am able to find the best deals by using coupons and matching them to sale prices. But there are some things I find cheaper at Aldi! Current deals at Aldi in Danville: 1 gallon milk - $1.49 (Walmart will match this price if you just tell them you want to "comp the Aldi price" at checkout) box of instant oatmeal 1.49 (Walmart off brand is still 1.97) Produce is usually fresher and cheaper at Aldi blueberries 1.98 (per package not pound) seedless grapes 1.98 (per package not pound) gala apples - usually about $1 cheaper than Walmart Have you tried Aldi? I don't shop there regularly since I found coupons but for these things I don't usually find coupons or other sales.
