I just wanted to post about my great experience with Aldi. Specifically, a return without a receipt.
My blender has been acting more and more like it’s ready to kick the dust. Most recently, it’s been having a super hard time blending bananas. What a pain! My favorite smoothies all include frozen chopped bananas, so I can’t have that kind of a problem.
I ran out to Aldi for a weekly shopping trip and saw a nice stainless steel blender there, so I put it in the cart and went about my normal shopping trip.
I brought the blender home and put it aside for about 3 weeks. Yes, three. Between VBS with my big kids, my mom visiting, and just the normal chaotic life of a mom with 4 littles, I just didn’t grab it.
Thursday night, I pulled out the box and got my ingredients ready. I wanted to try a chocolate banana sorbet (frozen banana/tiny bit of milk/heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder). It turns out sort of like a soft serve and is sooo good. ANYWAY, I go in to pull the blender out and the plastic of the container is cracked and shattered in the box. MAJOR bummer and I started to get nervous because I had thrown the receipt away.
I had no idea what the return policy was at Aldi, but when I had a free moment yesterday (Saturday), I decided to try my luck.
I walked in and the manager asked if I had a return, then asked if I wanted to just exchange it or get a refund. I told her I’d prefer a refund since I was now questioning the quality of the appliance. She asked if I had my receipt and when I told her no, she said, “No problem!” and processed my return. Easy peasy, cash in hand within 3 minutes of getting there. WOW! Aldi, I LOVE YOU!
On another note…. guess what my hubby let me buy to replace our blender?
If you guessed a refurbished Vitamix blender, you win! More about that in future posts….

I saw that! It looks awesome. 🙂 I have seen some bags that I could use after I blend stuff in my blender to extract the juices so I can essentially use the Vitamix as a juicer as well… but I’m not sure if I’ll go to the effort since I’m pretty lazy. lol
You’ll have to tell me some of your favorite concoctions – we’ll have to compare notes!
