Anyone need some milk? I thought I was buying 6 pints.

  1. Don’t need milk but if you need help with the Profiteroles or the Tiramasu I’m your man

  2. There’s a lot of hairy babies around here, and I think *you* are the hairy baby maker!

  3. My stepkids did this a few years ago. I sent them to the shop for a six pinter, they came back with 6 x 4 pinters.

  4. How did you not notice?

    If this was an online shop you can just give them stuff back, even if you ordered it, and they have to refund it.

  5. Got a food bank near you where you could donate it?

    Alternatively- live on Frosties for a month 🙂

  6. Ha!

    My mum (a few years ago) bought some Lotus Biscoff biscuits from Amazon. She clearly didn’t look at the quantity.

    This pallet turned up at the house. She had literally accidentally ordered a pallet of Lotus Biscoff biscuits.

    They ended up keeping them and just giving most of them away to friends – I think I went to visit my parents and we had a couple of the catering boxes of them to take away.

  7. Oh, well, looks like you’ve got quite the moo-sunderstanding there! Don’t cry over spilled milk, they say.

  8. You do know you can reject items for a refund when your shopping is delivered? Even if you’ve just changed your mind, and especially if you’ve made an error like this.

  9. After you have exhausted freezing one, making a slo-cooker-ful of rice pudding with another, and a cheeky batch of scones or three, check if there are any local children’s clubs running for the holidays and see if they could use it.

  10. LOL

    This reminds me of the time I went into Lidl super stoned.

    I’ve smoked on and off my whole life. But I will go months without touching it, then go on a mad binge.

    About 5 years ago a neighbour gave me some stuff literally over the garden fence. It was so smelly I couldn’t store it in the house.

    When off one day I had a joint to myself, getting completely wrecked. I then went to Lidl close by with the sole aim of getting a pizza and doughnuts.

    Then I saw PG tips were on offer. I think they were £3 instead of £4.50 (can’t remember exactly).

    I ended up buying 4 boxes x 280 (?) bags. Over 1,100 bags of tea. It worked out that even if I had 3 every single day they’d still go out of date.

    Even worse, I forgot to buy the pizza and doughnuts. So I was stood there in my kitchen for 5 minutes working out what to eat while looking at 4 boxes of teabags.

  11. I went through a phase of trying to order mushrooms from Tesco as part of an online order. It asked me for a number, not a weight, so I assumed it was per punnet and ordered one. I got a bag containing one mushroom. The next time I ordered 12 and got 12 punnets. Fortunately I have a dehydrator.
