I by chance spent $167 extra on groceries this week than I had deliberate on!!! Right here’s what occurred…
I went to put my Kroger supply order yesterday. After I went to checkout, they provided me some nice offers that have been flash gross sales (you’ll often get provided these should you select to have your order delivered from the Kroger supply truck).
A kind of offers was on a roast. It mentioned it was $15.99. That’s fairly a bit greater than I often spend on meat for one meal, however I made a decision to splurge since I had the cash within the funds.
I went to checkout and it mentioned my whole was $143 for all my groceries. I used to be excited as a result of I’d gotten loads of prime quality meat and different issues and was nonetheless underneath my $150 weekly funds!
However then my groceries obtained delivered this morning and as an alternative of my whole being round $143 (it often varies a tiny bit relying upon whether or not they have the whole lot in inventory or must substitute one thing), it was $315!!
What?!?
I went to take a look at my groceries and found that as an alternative of the roast being $15.99 whole, it was $15.99 a POUND they usually had given me 10 1/2 pound roast!!
So as an alternative of the roast being $15.99 like I assumed, it was $167!!!!
I made a decision to stay chat with a Kroger consultant to ask if something may very well be completed since I actually didn’t wish to pay $167 for one roast.
They requested me a number of questions and requested me to ship a screenshot of my authentic whole that they’d despatched by way of electronic mail after I positioned my supply order.
I anticipated possibly they’d give me some form of refund.
Effectively, guess what??
After they requested me a sequence of questions and had me submit the screenshot, they refunded me the ENTIRE quantity!
Sure, all $167 of it!! And I get to maintain the roast!!!!
That is only a reminder that it by no means hurts to ask. Be variety. Be well mannered. Don’t anticipate or demand. However do be agency and assured and ask should you obtained overcharged or if one thing shouldn’t be proper with an order.
You by no means know what would possibly occur — you simply would possibly get a $167 roast utterly free. (I really feel bizarre even consuming such an costly merchandise, however I’m going to attempt to make it final for as many meals as doable!)
P.S. I simply noticed “roast” on the flash sale commercial. After it arrived, I found it was a ribeye roast. I didn’t even know what this was (sure, are you able to inform I usually solely purchase cheaper cuts of meat?) however apparently it’s actually superb meat and you may reduce it into steaks and make it go actually far. Now I simply must get courageous sufficient to determine the best way to prepare dinner a sort of roast I by no means have earlier than! I’ve heard it’s not the sort you simply plop into the crockpot to bake like I often do with roasts!!
