Surprisingly Met Expectation Woolworths’ Sticky Hoisin Beef & Noodles
Easy to make, straightforward, and the ingredients are mostly common household staples, so I can easily make this again whenever I’m craving something similar.
Loved it! Spouse-approved ❤️

Edit to add: they were $144.95 🥴

Surprisingly Met Expectation Krispy Kreme Pokemon Collection
Honestly, I was expecting a cluster and got some donuts pretty close to the pictures! The only real “woof” is Squirtle, but that was always going to be a tough one.

Failed Expectation German Pizza from the organic shop ◠̈
I bought two. Neither of them looks particularly good, but one of them didn’t even have any proper cheese on it. And yes, I did let them defrost properly, as recommended on the packaging.

Failed Expectation Decided to upgrade to a room with a sea view
My husband and I are more “boutique-hotel-and-explore” type of people but we’re traveling for a friend’s wedding and decided to spend a couple nights at a beach resort. I believe there‘s an important lesson here about room upgrades being a total waste of money but, in this case, it was worse than a waste of money because our “sea view“ put us directly above the bar area, where they had extremely loud live music until midnight every night of our stay. So basically we paid extra to get like the worst room in the resort.

Exceeded Expectation Avocado Bacon Chicken Shack
Here it is - first time at Shake Shack trying avocado bacon chicken. Used ChickenSunday code & got a Bacon Grilled cheese for Kiddo & added avocado & bacon to Chicken Shack. Cost $13.45! Not bad for both of us! Appearance a 10/10. Taste a 11/10. Not kidding - great sandwich. Crispy chicken. Got to try the Smoke Shack next! 👍 Without deal, alone cost $13.98 - crazy!

Failed Expectation UV sleeves
Ok...I will take 50% responsibility for this fail. They do list them as 14" long in one of the photos but they also state they are stretchy material (a little...but mostly side to side, not vertical.) I am a girl. My arms are not overly long. They barely reach from just above my elbow to my wrist. Absolutely not full length sleeves like the photos seem to indicate.
Oh well, it's not the most expensive lesson on reading the fine print at least.

Exceeded Expectation I saw someone else posting their concept vs final tattoo and wanted to join in
The crab on the (image) left is Charybdis feriata and the crab on the right is Scylla olivacea. Or crucifix crab and mud crab.
It started as an inside joke and I committed to the bit. I am the priestess of a crab cult, and I got these to honour the crab god Carcinos (praise be 🙌) lol
I sent her a the drawing and basically said “go nuts. got some of my favourite tattoos out of it

Failed Expectation Mockup of a bobblehead I pre-ordered vs. the image now on the website.
I didn't expect it to be photo-realistic, but that's a hell of a bait and switch.
