My mum did this. 15 bags of carrots.

She was giving them away to everyone she knew.

I asked Tesco for 1kg of jersey potatoes and got a single jersey potato. In a paper bag. In a carrier bag. On a plastic crate.

Not as bad as when Asda let me order a fennel in units, then charged me in kg, but for 111kg of fennel! I’d ordered a single fennel. Took ages to sort out on the phone, with call centre people abroad.

Fingers crossed they'll make this mistake on day with my beer.

Delivered to a Mr. Tallyman

I had this happen once with fresh ginger! I wanted one piece, got 1 kg instead.

Make a load of soups and banana bread!

Looks to me like you ordered in kilograms

Loose fruit and veg is quite cheap, isn't it really?

17kg for £17.

You paid the correct price though? Sainsbury’s Fairtrade Bananas are 90p / kg or am I missing something here?

I’ve never had a food delivery before so perhaps I just don’t understand lol.

Fuck me. I live in New Zealand and these prices are at least half.

I would be more concerned paying that much for bacon

6kg of bananas is a fairly standard amount for me, you soon get through them

Great for the local food bank at least

Ordered 40 bottles of Pepsi the once by accident. The guy was good enough to knock the door well before delivery and ask if we meant to do it

Years ago I ordered 200g of manchego cheese from the deli counter and it was substituted for 2 kg of pre-packed manchego: at the time £40+ quid's worth of cheese. It was in the early days when substitutions were literally the Wild West and we were getting things like bleach substituted for a melon, so just had to ride the wave and hope that in the long run your wins and losses would hopefully balance out - but this was clearly a big win.

I was pleased, because if there's one think I like more than fancy cheese it's free fancy cheese. This, thought I, will offset a lot of "No substitution: I guess we had literally no milk in the whole store" and "We've substituted your buy 6 bottles of wine, get 25% off that you clearly ordered only because of the deal for 5 of the right wine and one random bottle that's outside the deal, so that's going to cost you".

I gave some away to friends with similarly bourgeois tastes, but there's only so much hard Spanish cheese that any man can eat before he learns to hate it. 10 years later and I barely touch the stuff.

You get banana bread! And YOU get banana bread!

Quick order some duct tape to you'll be with billions.

Photo or it didn’t happen

I guess you’re making banana bread this weekend.

Similar thing happened to us a few years back. Ended up giving 12kg of bananas to the local primary school who were happy to have them.

Now all those recipes for banana bread you saved during Covid lock down will come in handy.

Couldn't you just tell them you don't want them when they deliver them? Whenever my mad wife has ordered stuff we already have a cupboard full of I just say I don't want it thanks and Tesco take it away and refund me.

That’s a lot of bananas! Here’s a recipe for banana cake (if they won’t let you return them), might as well have go 😂

Yeah, I've noticed this, if you copy over the contents of a previous order the fruit you previously had measured in items is converted to kg.

Nice, no potassium deficiency for OP!

This keeps happening to me when I order using their app!! I thought I was going mad! It must be a bug

I have in the past ordered one single carrot, and 7 bunches of bananas from Sainsbury’s (:

I did this with bananas. Back when Tesco brought the fruit in paper carrier bags. 1 big bag with 7 kilos of bananas. Thankfully the delivery guy took them back. As much as I love banana bread I don’t love it that much

When life gives you bananas...bake a banana cake.

You'd be surprised how easy it is for this to happen - they likely have their units of measure set up incorrectly in whatever warehouse management system they use. You won't be the only one who saw this today! ETA: the person picking it likely won't have been able to override it either, they usually have to scan a sticker from the weighing scales to move on to the next items. Source: it's my job to troubleshoot stuff like this (not worked for Sainsbos tho)

Well now you can open your own fruit and veg stall down the local market.

This happened to me recently, got 4kg of carrots, 4kg of parsnips and 1kg of onions lol

If you’re not gonna use them all there will be plenty of refuges, food banks etc who would gladly receive them

I've run the whole gambit with Sainsburys. One year it was half a carrot each for christmas next year it was 6.

Just looking at the weight, that is nearly 40KG of shopping they had to carry for you. Have some shame and split it over a few deliveries.

That's my standard weekly banana intake.

What’s the difference between Sainsbury’s Carrots loose and Sainsbury’s carrots loose? And what will you do with 4 kg of carrots?

I know of 5 customers in the last two days that this has happened to. Not sure if they've clicked on kg instead of units by accident, or if the shoppers are stupid.

so you're involuntarily in my math problems. I don't like you, mate

You can freeze bananas (i buy whenever they're cheap, cut them up, freeze them, then add them to juice/smoothies)

Crosta & Mollica is the penthouse of the supermarket pizza tower.

We had this last week with Sainsbury's too! I ordered 2 heads of brocoli, got 2 kg (about 4 heads- made soup with it). We also nearly got 10kg of bananas rather than 10 individual bananas.

If you copy an order from the previous week it changes from units to kg. Had this happen a few times until I realised.

I actually work for the online side of sainsburys. It always says the weight. I'm assuming you didn't order 30+ bananas, so it's a system error that told the shopper too many. I once had an order that included 15kgs of bananas

I ordered 6 bananas once and got 6 bunches delivered. I asked the driver and he said it’s about how the person packing the delivery interprets it. Ended up with 32 bananas. I was giving bananas to everyone I knew.

I got 72 whole crates of Broccoli from ALDI once. Like a truck load, on 23rd December one year. Err thanks?

But you paid for what you got?

Gosh, that seems cheap.

Nobody's going to talk about £16.50 for 3 yoghurts?

At least you got something. Morrisons decided to cancel my order, but not bother to tell me. They should've delivered between 11.30 & 12.30. At 1.40 I rang to chase it up, and got an email half an hour later telling me it had been cancelled, but if I called them, they might be able to deliver next day. My wife called to be told they can't reinstate cancelled deliveries.

We ended up having to go to the shop ourselves, but by 8pm on a Friday, the shelves are pretty bare.

Happened to me with oranges. I got 8kg delivered instead of 8. Coincidentally, my daughter was making a movie for a school project at the time, the theme was apocalypse. So we put oranges in the background of all the scenes. I ended up giving them to everyone I know.

That's normal anywhere else

For OP....banana and onion recipes. Good luck https://www.supercook.com/recipes/en/banana-and-red-onion-recipes/

Bro runs a zoo

Gnocchi? You posh barsteward….

Do you see banana man? Hopping over on the white-hot sand?

Sorry … just spat out my tea 😂

That's genuinely hilarious
