My shopper got mixed up in my list. I won.

I asked for a list of groceries today. I didn´t know what to cook for Anita tomorrow and I did not want to work too much. I´m not sure if I´ll have kitchen tomorrow. Marco did not receive the stove today but he did come to bring me some small butane cylinders for the small burners. I checked online and asked for several things amongs which I asked for some pork meat I love. But the schpper changed what I wanted and instead brought something else I don´t much like. So I wrote and explained. The shopper had brought me 2 different things. And when they don´t find exactly what I ask for, they have my number to offer a replacement. But I think that this shopper was just in a hurry. I´m in no hurry so I wrote them. And the person who answered me asked me whether she could put that money as credits towards my next buy. Fine, I said, but what do I do with this meat? And she answered that I could either throq it way or donate it. I´m thinking about cooking a casserole with it when the new stove is installed. I would not throw away meat for all the world!

I'm glad they... sort of... returned your money... at least you can order whatever kind of meat you actually do want with the money. And yes, in the US, if they make a mistake, they pay us back and let us keep whatever they substituted. They NEVER call and ask if the substitution is okay with the shopper. If you lived closer to me, I thawed a large ham yesterday so fixed ham and American cheese sandwiches for lunch today, I would have made some for you, too. Or, just let you have some of this ham... It's really good!

I knew that I could cook something delicious with the meat they sent but it was more expensive and I hadn´t ordered it. So I asked them if they would take the meat they gave back although I knoew they wouldn´t.

@DaddyEvil I did. It is their problem if they mess up the orders. They will spend more to take back the meat. Still, I asked.

@kobesbuddy Many years ago I descovered that I could live very well if I just learned not to throw leftovers. And I discovered too that you can cook gourmet food with cheap ingredients.

Of course you are not going to throw. I am sure you will find a way to cook the meat so that it will be tasty.

It was a good piece. Only I that not ordered it. I never throw anything. Even food that I don´t want to eat (a few times) is saved as a snack for Luna.

@LadyDuck This one was a piece of pork worth around US $10. I can make a nice stew wih it or roast it.

Here in the US they never take the meat back. I hope you get the meat that you wanted.

Here they don´t either. But they won´t give me the meat I wanted. They say it is not in the supermarket. Tey will just substract the amount from my next list.

There is no way I'd throw good meat away. I'm sure you'll make good use of the meat.
