Dollar General review: Special k fruit and yogurt

11:49 am UTC

I purchased a box of Special K Fruit and Yogurt from the listed above location on 8/21/2019 and went home to eat some cereal. I ate my first bite and gagged and threw up and screamed it was such an unexplainable horrible nasty taste in my mouth. I told my husband I will never buy this flavor again. It was so bad until I looked at the box and discovered that the cereal was about 20 months old. I called the store and spoke with the manager on duty at 8:26 p.m. to explain to her the situation that I just encountered and she told me that I could come and get a refund. I asked her how in the world could this happen and her response was that they have been doing inventory and some items were brought from the back to the front. On today, 8/22/2019, I decided that I would take the cereal back and when I picked it up I notice bugs coming out the box. Im so disguised and cant some throwing up, gagging and spitting. I would like for this problem to be handled properly and soon as possible.

On another note, the cashier that checked me out was very polite and had problems printing out receipts...so I never got a receipt; however I sign in for my coupons and have a digital receipt. I have pictures that I can upload. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at [protected].
