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

Eeek menopurchase

Every week there is a surprise in my weekly shop... nothing that can’t be used but always something that I didn’t mean to order

I'm in the perimenopurchase phase. Nearly as bad

The delivery driver told my DM she'd ordered a lot of bananas, she replied oh yes I'm making banana splits and happily off he drove, leaving behind 44 bananas for her and DF

I keep doing this with cat food! I think it stems from a combination of moving from a fortnightly to a weekly shop and Waitrose doing a 3 packs for £11 offer on Felix. For 3 weeks running, I have accidentally ordered 6 boxes (of 12 sachets) and we currently have 17 boxes in the garage. I forget to cancel cat food from the order and then when checking out am invited to complete my orders which I automatically do. I seriously don't know why I can't remember and I bet the fussy little sods go off Felix long before we get to box 17! 😭😭.

I need to stop stabbing away at the + sign

That's what my neighbour said when I enquired why he had 6 swing-bins full of wild bird food in his porch

DP will reserve a slot and add in 12 packs of smoked salmon or 4 tins of Quality Street (both real examples) he then forgets to edit it when he adds other shopping in. A few weeks ago we had 38 pints of milk in the fridge after a delivery.

One December I ordered 14 sprouts.

Except I didn't.

I ordered 14 net bags of sprouts

That was an interesting convo with the delivery driver!!

I’m not allowed to access Amazon wine anymore at night ever since 8 packs x45 toilet rolls arrived over the course of a week 😳😳😳

I amended an order to put in a load of birthday tea food and then when it didn't turn up realised that I had amended the wrong week's order.

Not as bad as me ordering a pack of 9 Twix, well I thought it was a pack of 9 in fact it was 9 packs of 9. The delivery man did give me a funny look, I think I spent nearly as much on Twix as the rest of the weeks shopping.

I'm still eating them several weeks later.

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.

That is hilarious!!! 40 bags

Gluteus- that has happened to me quite a few times. I know how many items I'd put in as it was the item limit but 10 less arrived. When I looked back at the confirmation email the 10 items weren't on it. I complained but they told me I must have done something wrong. Apparently after 6 years of weekly deliveries I suddenly lost my ability to press the order button properly!

Does anyone else feel guilty when they change the order. I know I'm old but I am with it enough to realise that there isn't some poor soul sitting there looking at me changing my order but I always feel as if there is and they are sighing at me remembering to add an extra loaf.

Done this many times with different things. At one stage it did seem it was everytime I shopped. Really pissed me off as I do check through before putting order through too specifically to check if anythings dodgy. Yet still manage to do silly things with online deliveries

I once managed to buy 5kg of beef when I wanted a 500g piece. That was a bloody shock, in price of course too! (basket had not worked out price, just had 12.50kg or something there without approx price for ordered piece!) Family were sick of it, but I didn't feel right asking for refund from shop or anything as it WAS my mistake so we just lived on beef for a week

Seriously just go shopping, all sound mad, it can’t be that confusing?

Best online shopping moment has got to be asdas box of 100 (I think, big box) nappies that were on special, meant to be a tenner.

Substituted for 4 large packs (adding to 100 or whatever nappy box was) of toilet roll?!

Useful.

ASDA have a thing about nappy substitutes. As another 6 months or so later, they substituted a pack of size 4 nappies for newborn ones And have previously substituted nighttime pullups for normal nappies. Gave up on nappy type products from the online shop after this third one!

Haha. I remember a thread on here I was proper laughing at ages and ages ago where someone had bought many many boxes of nobbly bobblys! My search doesn't work right, but I wish I could find that thread, was hilarious. IIRC she was accused of lying so posted pics when they came

I’m a dot com picker and sometimes when I see things like a single mushroom or 30 bananas I do wonder if someone is going to be rather disappointed or horrified.
The drivers will take anything back that you don’t want though. We often get bottles of champagne returned as quite a few people seem to use that as a place holder. 🤣

This thread has had me laughing so much I cried. Thanks mumsnet

Dh loves our weekly shopping delivery just so he can see my accidental orders. Usually it’s the size I misjudge as I look at the pic not the mls or g measurement. Mini shower gels and 25 bananas were my most ridiculous (I thought I ordered 5 bananas but turns out it was 5 packs of 5!). This week I ordered bread then noticed rolls were on offer and I fancied bagels... but I forgot to delete the bread order. We have a lot of bread!

I love the indignant persecutory nature of some on mn
Getting all sus about over ordered ice lolly, until proof of purchase was submitted

@biddybird

I ordered 4kilos of carrots instead of 4 carrots.

At least you will be able to see in the dark🐇🐰🐇🐰🥕🥕🥕

@MakeAPeaCry

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!

He could have set up his own fruit and veg stall
