AIBU to be crazy upset over this?

My partner and I are moving out of our city. I said to him, “alright, go to the fridge and clean it out- except for the milk” he double checked before going down, and I said “yeah, everything”
however, I didn’t realise there was a whole freaking jar of chilli’s in there- a special kind I have only found in one shop, which is what we need for our favourite dish. You cannot sub these out - and these are very distinct.
anyway, I got pretty upset- I mean, common sense, no? Would you throw out a full jar of produce, without triple checking? I know I wouldn’t ? I cannot afford to replace them either - there is £30 left in my account until Friday and I have £50+ of outgoings in the next few days. I feel pathetic for being SO upset, but I won’t be able to cook my favourite dinner now, as we’re moving to a very rural area without a shop that sells them.
feel like crying

YABU. Cry over it in private if you want to but don’t make him feel bad for not ‘triple checking’. It wasn’t that important if you didn’t even remember they were in there.

Yes I know the feeling - but he did what you asked him to do.
