Another internet shopping boob
« on: September 09, 2013, 01:26:14 pm »
wev been food shopping online for a year now. often we buy things without checking the weight and have ended up with tiny bags of sugar/flour when expecting the big packs, as they look the same in the foto. often i have thought id ordered a pack of bananas to receive just one solitary one.  :innocent:
this time i was very careful order 10 bananas not realising they were packs of ten  - so alas i have 80 bananas in the cupboard...whoops...all ripe and ready to eat.
recipes ideas anyone? ... :roflanim: :roflanim:
 :innocent:

I use tesco , hate the company but they are the only ones who deliver here and i don't want to starve just yet .
But if there is anything i don't want , even if i have just changed my mind , i can just send it back and get full refund .
Obviously , if you are getting goods delivered by courier in a box , that is a different kettle of fish , or bunch of bananas !
What to do with a lorry load of 'nanas ? , lots of visits to the monkey house at a zoo ?

Oops!!

Does anyone nearby have one of those dehydrators so you could make dried banana slices ?

I think banana cake freezes, but watch that flour order quantity :-DDD

Bananas take a long time to dehydrate in a machine so works out quite costly, we use the stove just ticking over with the door open and it works fine.

Banana milk shakes loved here, and also banana bread of course... but 80, that's quite a few cakes that is...

Is that not 100?

Most supermarkets will take back anything you have made a mistake with - I would say 80 or 100 bananas was a very obvious one and your driver should have offered the question 'did you mean to order so many bananas?'

This doesn't help but, a while back, we ordered wholemeal muffins, which we enjoy with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon as a Sunday breakfast treat from time to time. They were obviously out of stock and they substituted................Chocolate Chip Muffins  :P NOT.

the kids have found it hysterical, especially as they have witnessed the delivery of the single banana many times  :roflanim: :roflanim:

They should have lived a few decades back. My Mum came from a not well off background, and remembers as a little girl the treat of eating an apple all of her own, and that she had finished eating it, another little girl asked if she could have the core to eat.....bet she wouldn't have turned down rhubarb.....
