Tell me your shopping best errors!

I can hardly breathe because I'm laughing so much at my mum. She bought a 'nice warm looking fleece for walking the dog' from the Tu sale in Sainsburys. She went to pick it up today. It's a baby's bib. 😂

I meant best shopping errors, that thread title is ridiculous!

I thought I ordered one pack of fresh ginger root with my online shop.

Nope, I’d ordered one kilo. Which is a carrier bag full. I literally couldn’t give it away.

DH does the grocery shopping here, on a Saturday morning, before I get up. Last Saturday, he delightedly told me that on Monday we were going to have Liver and bacon for tea. Oh, jolly good, I said and thought no more of it.

Monday rolls round, both been WFH and he’s been banging on about our meal plans ALL DAY. I was upstairs when he started cooking. I heard the door open, and popped my head over the banister “Everything all right?” I said.

“We’re not having liver and bacon for tea.” Oh surprising, as he’d already started prepping when I went upstairs. I asked why not.

”Because I bought FUCKING KIDNEYS!!” He can laugh about it now, as we’ve had lovely steak and kidney for tea tonight, and last night we were out with friends, and there was liver on the menu - with black pudding rather than bacon, but you take what you can get. I was laughing about it from the off. Poor DH, he was right mad with himself.

My mother ordered a bag of sprouts, or thought she did. What actually arrived was a single sprout in a plastic bag, with a huge weight sticker proudly proclaiming it cost 3p.
