    Hi all

    Just getting ready to cook some chicken bought yesterday with a use by date of tomorrow - It stinks! I have double bagged it and put it back in the fridge.

    Just before i ripped up the receipt

    Do you think the supermarket will accept it when I take it back tomorrow?

    Was looking forward to chicken too :(

    It's not a legal requirement to keep/show a receipt for a refund. You only have to prove the item was brought from the store.

    And the simplest way of doing that is to show the receipt, isn't it? :D

    Not if you don't have it !
  • The fact that the magnetised strip isn't triggering the security alarms when the OP enters the store should be a clue that it hasn't been stolen.

    Other than that, a store reward card records the purchase.

    And I've ever been checked anyway, they've just refunded it.

    And they put those on chickens worth less than £5, do they?
