Not a-fucking-gain!!!!' Ordered stuff by accident from supermarket!'n

[gurteee]

Almost every fucking week I order something I don't want.

This time it's 4 packs x aaa batteries when I wanted 3 x aa batteries and 1 x aaa batteries.

For fuck's sakes

Early days online grocery shopping and my Dad was a keen adopter of this fancy new way of doing his shopping.

He proudly ordered:

6 x bananas
12 x tomatoes
6 x apples
24 x potatoes
20 x carrots

and so on.

Turns out they came in kgs!

I’ll raise you 16 packets of cheese straws, too embarrassed to tell the driver I didn’t want the other 15 so I just had to eat them all.

We had floor to ceiling boxes of cat food once. Two full columns of twelve boxes of single sachets. That took a while to work through.

And 7 kilos of bananas.

I always do 4 of the 6 pack bananas... What to do with 24 bananas we don't want or need. It's indeed annoying

I generally put my Morrisons order in a week in advance. Usually it's pretty much the same stuff.

One week the delivery driver arrived at 10 to drop off my order and returned, grinning, at 12 with an identical order. Apparently I had forgotten I put it in and did it again.

I’ve been trying to buy tea bags for the last 2 days.

Went to Sainsbury’s yesterday. Came back with £30 worth of things I didn’t need and forgot the teabags.

Went to the pound shop today, really only for teabags. Spent another £15 (Admittedly on things we will use) and, again, came back without teabags.

Ended up walking to my mums and asking to borrow two tea bags 🤣

I once ordered 12 rice puddings.. Only they were 6 packs of rice puddings..

Lol that reminds me of the time I booked 2 leg waxes, because I wanted both my legs done, why I thought you might need to book them individually who knows! But rather than admit my error I convinced a friend to come with me and get hers done at the same time as my treat ahaha, what a weird treat eh!!

Op I reserve my Tesco slot 4 weeks ahead & put 2 big packs of pampers in to secure the slot & checkout. Then I fill the basket & remove the pampers when it gets nearer the day the night before the delivery slot.

In the summer when I was losing the plot I had to return the pampers to the driver twice. DS is 8 next month😆🤷‍♀️

Not on the same level as some of these but DH was confused when he unpacked the shopping I'd ordered and found a Tesco's brand smoked paprika and then a Schwartz smoked paprika. Such a random ingredient to have ordered x2!

I can’t tell you what a relief it is to read there are people as confused as me.
I find online ordering a bloody nightmare, I have the memory of a goldfish so find duplicate ordering an occupational hazard.

You see? People aren't panic buying on-line, just getting their quantities muddled.

16 boxes of cheese straws made me larf!

The people who order 12 kilos of bananas etc- do you ever look at the price of your order before you confirm it?

It might not be your fault. Two weeks on the trot l had items mysteriously appear in my shopping that l hadn't ordered.

I have used Tesco online shopping for 10 years now so l know it wasn't me not knowing how to use it.

When you confirm your order, check the email that comes as it states on there what is ordered

My mum did that recently. Her neighbours were all very grateful

My husband got 500 face masks delivered to our home instead of his work. They are still here. I guess there’s less convenient things to have right now!

I have found my people.

Admittedly I could have found them some time ago, by the towering monuments of cat food and cheese straws piled outside their houses.

Ah yes - we had 24 apples this week (2 packs of one type, 2 packs of another), because I couldn't see apples on my shop. Fortunately, we all like apples and will probably manage to finish eat least half this week and I'll try to remember to take them off this weeks shop.

I do it on my app, thinking I can just add as I See what we need - but there is always a weird quantity of something or another 2 packs of something we already have at the back of the cupboard.

The Christmas order arrived - with one single lonely brussel sprout with a little bar code wrapped round it

bloody hell that made me chuckle!

There are 34 packets of couscous in my kitchen cupboard. This comes from the time I accidentally ordered 40 instead of 4 and would not admit to the delivery driver, DH or anyone else that I had made a mistake. It is probably lucky that we don't usually order our shopping online because I would fuck it up like a boss every time.

Oh I'm sorry but this made me laugh so much!

I was so impressed they'd put a bar code on it - and the sprout was small enough for it to wrap completely round it - cheapskates..

Buffoonery!!!!

OP - I do the complete opposite. I'm convinced I've added something to the basket but it doesn't turn up, and it's not on the Tesco receipt. I think someone at Tesco is messing with me

I also order things that look a lot bigger than the picture and I forget to check the weight just look at the price. So I spent £1 on peas on offer, think that'll be our normal bag, and it was a teeny tiny bag of peas, so not worth £1
