Default nearly dropped a clanger

I nearly made a big mistake, while trying to grab myself a bargain today.
I went to the ruto frozen food site, and saw mix and match foods 25 packs for £31.00 including delivery, which would save me £19.00 on what I am currently paying went all through the procedier (well thought I did any way )bought 5 packs of this and 5 packs of that, and so on 25 packs (or so I thought) came to paying, logged into paypal, filled it in just about to pay and decided to check the price which was £520.00+ £31.00p+p aaaagh nearly had a heart attack on rechecking I found that I had nearly ordered 25 boxes of 25packs instead of ordering 1 box of assorted packs of 25in total , could have cost old grandad a lot of money, if I had pressed that button,(gotta change these pound glasses ) went back to the beginning and now ,I have ordered the right amount £31.00

one mistake can be expensive tel , because paypal may pay it out , and then you will have one hell of a job, to try to get your money back
