To be absolutely fuming at Asda for ruining my night

Dp is out tonight, which means I only need to feed myself. I decided that I didn't want a proper meal, I wanted maltesers and Greek yoghurt (not together). There is a tesco about 6-7min drive from me, and an Asda about 15mins. Tesco's maltesers were full price, whereas Asda was selling them for £1 (I googled this prior to setting off), so off I went to Asda. To my horror, they had sold out of maltesers!! I circled the store several times in the hope that they would be stocked up by the time I returned to them, but nope, the shelf remained empty. I was so angry at this point, and I didn't have a backup plan for dinner. Reluctantly, I grabbed a bag of m&ms and a Terry's chocolate orange and went to the tills. Near the tills they had fucking 'treat bags' of maltesers. Treat bags?? They were the same price as the share bags, but you get about a third less in them! It is such a con. So now instead of enjoying a nice big bag of maltesers, I have a handful of maltesers, and I need to force down m&ms AND a choc orange. Oh and I wasted extra petrol, and I've come home in a mood :(

God I would love a Terry's Chocolate Orange right now.

DeadCert · 20/06/2014 21:20

......Anyway........

AtYourCervix · 20/06/2014 21:20

Fuckers. Write a formal complaint direct to Mr Asda CEO.

Trapper · 20/06/2014 21:21

Definitely your DH's fault. You should LTB.

KingJoffreysBloodshotEye · 20/06/2014 21:21

ASDA is shit.

No one should shop there ever.

Not even if they are pretending to sell cheap Malteasers.

scratchandsniff · 20/06/2014 21:22

Now you've done it. I really, really want a Terrys chocolate orange.

TheDetective · 20/06/2014 21:24

Oh god. I'd kill for the Terry's Chocolate Orange.

Fuck fuck fuck. I may have to send DP out.

I'm on a diet FFS!!!!!

BadgersNadgers · 20/06/2014 21:24

Did you get your yoghurt?

Inthedarkaboutfashion · 20/06/2014 21:24

Did you manage to get the Greek yoghurt?

TheDetective · 20/06/2014 21:24

He said no. More fucks.

SerialCatKisser · 20/06/2014 21:24

In a roundabout way it is my dp's fault. I've been on a bit of a diet, but he kept bringing maltesers into the house, I'm pretty sure just to tempt me. Several bags later, I've got the taste for them and I NEED more.

Tsk

Don't you hate it when you drive twice as far as you need to in order to save a few pennies at the checkout?

Next time you do a price check, do a stock check too

Kerryp · 20/06/2014 21:25

I'll never understand why they call it treat size? Surely a treat would be a bigger size???

MrsRuffdiamond · 20/06/2014 21:28

YABU not to want maltesers and Greek yoghurt together. It's a delicious combination and the yoghurt makes the whole meal really healthy. (A bit like my gin and orange juice (not squash) being one of my 5 a day). Grin

YANBU, however to be annoyed at Asda inveigling you to shop with them by dangling cheap big bags of maltesers in front of you, only to proceed to then rip you off.

SerialCatKisser · 20/06/2014 21:28

Well I actually bought the choc orange to replace dp's one that I've almost finished which I bought to replace his original one I'd eaten. And yes I did get my yoghurt, Asda do Fage 0% fat for £2 which is a bit of a bargain. He said no detective?? LTB

Kill them. Kill them all.

BikeRunSki · 20/06/2014 21:34

I went off Asda when they took my Christmas grocery shop to a house with the same number and street name, but in a city 25 miles away.

MoonlightandRoses · 20/06/2014 21:35

YANBU about the Maltesers, but YABU about the Terry's - vile, horrible things.
