Yes. The condition of the bag is that you spend £100, if you return an item (even if it was only worth £1), and that results in you having only spent £99, you have not met the £100 criteria. so have lost the right to keep the bag. 

Same goes for supermarket buy 2 get 1 free offers. You can't buy three, return two, and then expect to keep the third for free. 

Well - I'd say that's different, because you'd be returning the free one and one of the priced ones.

But the OP was proposing to return the £100 of paid goods and keep the free goody bag, so exactly returning the two paid for yoghurts and keeping the free yoghurt.

Well, more like buy two yoghurts and get a free lollipop.

More like buy a £1500 TV and get a free £400 sound bar...return the TV and keep the freebie? No such thing as a stupid question on MSE apparently?

I'd surmise that the contents of the goody bag won't be a £400 sound bar.

Generally goody bays are giveaway items anyway.

But anyway, it's been fun speculating about yoghurts, lollipops and soundbars.

Most probably not given the qualifying criteria was only a £100 spend.
I suspect the comment was a reference to this thread:

That's only because the items happen to be identical. 

If we label the yogurts as Yog1 (paid), Yog2 (paid), Yog3 (free). OP's scenario of returning the item and keeping the free goody bag is akin to a customer electing to return Yog1 and Yog2 and keeping Yog3. 

If the shop treats it as returning Yog2 and Yog3, that's akin to insisting on the free goody bag being returned before the paid items start coming off.
