in Shop but don't drop
Very strange!

On my last home delivery order I got a free Edam cheese. I put it down to an internet glitch as I had added it to my basket but deleted it before checking out. The time before that I got two boxes of tampons instead of one, which I just thought was an oversight. Both times the "free" item wasn't listed on my receipt and I didn't pay for it.

Today's order trumped them all... two lamb neck fillets! :confused: Pack price £3.99, I only noticed just now because I'd shoved the whole bag into the fridge! Is some disgruntled employee giving people free gifts? Do I have a secret admirer who thinks I'm a carnivorous Dutchwoman who bleeds a lot?

Anyone got any good recipes for lamb neck?!

    I know how you feel Aliss !

    Did my first online grocery order last week and got a free surprise pack of 2 sirloin steaks worth over £5 ! I didn't know if it was a mistake or a welcome gift !!!!!

    Very nice it was tho :rotfl:

    Also the delivery boy was being very flirty and hanging about.....even tho I had no makeup on and had been cleaning the house all day....do you thin khe was expecting a tip...not sure if I was supposed to give him one (!) but I didn't.......a tip I mean !

    :rotfl: My delivery driver was lovely too. I just wish I hadn't still been in my pyjamas (he was early and I'm ill!). I think you can nominate your driver on the website and they get a bonus or a prize if enough people are impressed with their "service" ;) .
