Hello friends - welcome to Simple Joys!
This week I am sharing a lovely surprise that happened to hubby and me at our local supermarket.
We use quite a lot of olive oil in our cooking and as the bottle at home was almost empty, we needed to replenish our supply.
We found a few different brands on sale at Woolworths when we did our grocery shopping, and decided to choose the one you now see on my kitchen dresser.
It was reduced from $26 down to $19 for a 4L tin, which seemed reasonable enough to us so we bought one.
As we took a few steps away after paying, hubby checked the docket and found we had been charged the full price!
So off we went to the service desk to get things sorted out.
We thought they would just refund us the difference between the full price we paid and the special sale price - but no!!
They gave us a full refund and the tin of Olive Oil to take home!
What a great surprise !!
Apparently this brand was not scanning correctly at the checkouts and so the Woolworth's policy in a case like this is.. the customer gets the item free of charge!
And seeing as we had bought a few extras that had already added to our regular bill that day, it was really nice to be able to get our olive oil as a "freebie" :-)
Thank You Lord for giving us oil -
the oil of Simple Joy and gladness!!

Trish,
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing! Simple joys, evidence of God's omnipresence!
That was definitely a blessing! And you still have a Woolworth's - I miss them here in the States. :(

Hello Trish,
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks very, very pretty! Your headers photos have changed since my last visit and it's fun to see things around and in your home. I love the kitchen design with the angel doll, and lovely teacups, and teapots.
That is the cutest can of olive oil. I actually use olive oil in most of my cooking. I do a lot of stove top cooking, stir fry, etc. It is an expensive item, so what a blessing and wonderful surprise to have it free of cost.
God bless you friend
Hugs!!
