Seeing The One That Was Out Of Place

My intent when entering a supercenter was to quickly purchase in the shortest amount of time possible only a handful of specific items, one being a quantity of three of the exact same product. I gathered up in my arms this product first. They were vertically lined on a shelf one behind the other. I scooped three up all at once, without looking at them individually, and then went on to get the other items on my list. 

The last item I needed had a variety of brand options to choose from. In wanting the one that was the least expensive, but not finding a price for some of them to compare, I went to a nearby price scanner attached to a post in an aisle to check the cost of a select few. Before I scanned each unpriced item, I set down the other products I had been carrying throughout the store. It was then that I noticed the product I had multiples of and had assumed each were identical and exactly the same, one was not and had inadvertently been placed among the ones I had picked up.

Although a similar product, it was a tender mercy I saw that they were not all the same prior to getting to the register and checking out. 

When have you picked up, all at once, several identical items you needed from off a shelf, assuming they were exactly the same, and realized before getting to the register to check out that they were not?
