Serious question: Over Shabbos I received many Target deliveries, we're talking about 2 dozen oils, and similar quantities of assorted candies, oats, flour, etc...I honestly don't know why I ordered so much-- I guess it was the adrenaline of the deal combined with the fact that I didn't think it would actually ship. The problem is that I'm having a bit of a moral crisis about these items. I've gotten in on many "deals" in the past, and have never felt badly about it, but this is different because it involved an extra level of deceit. Meaning, it's not like they just listed the prices wrong on their website, but we actually had to pick a specific store, select an item without a price, etc...
TO BE CLEAR, I'm not opining on the ethics of this deal or judging anyone. Rather, my question is, if I return these items to Target, will I cause trouble for myself or anyone else? I'm definitely not looking to cause problems for anyone else who got in on this deal, or myself.
I know that I can in theory buy these items by purchasing gift cards and not using them, but I'm also not interested in paying retail for all these items. Is there any way to know what Target pays for them, so at the very least, I can purchase an amount of gift cards to offset their losses?
My wife is suggesting donating these items to a local food pantry, but that also feels wrong, to donate what I consider to be unethically procured goods.
As a last resort, does anyone have any good reasoning as to why this is not such a big deal?
Thanks everyone.
