Salmon - Mr Ts £5 - double check it before you buy!

Last week I bought one of the salmon sides from Mr Ts for £5. It has a lovely picture of pink salmon on the front and you just cook it at home.

Just beware that you don't do what I did.

Got home without checking the actual sleeve of the fish and stuck it in the oven noticing that it was white fish but not thinking anything of it. Der!

It wasn't salmon! Took it back yesterday and got my refund.

Some naughty person had swapped the inside sleeve and put another piece of fish in there taking the salmon out and inserting it in other wrapping. I notice there is some sides of fish at £3.50 so this was saving the person some money.

Naughty, eh. I wonder how many people have done this?

    This is stealing/shoplifting that the naughty person has done. I never in a million years would have thought people did this. I suppose they could do it with anything that slides out of a cardboard sleeve e.g. Swapping value meals for 'finest' ones etc.

    It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.
  • Maybe it was a factory error? Maybe the rest were the same?
    Looking forward to the future.

    No, it wasn't an error. When I went back for the refund, I went and checked the others in the freezer. All were salmon.

    Never mind, I shall double check next time before I pay for it.
