Save-A-Lot Food Stores Limited regularly purchased large quantities of raisins for its bulk food section from a Canadian food wholesaler.The purchase of raisins was carried out with a separate purchase order and invoice each time although a full,written contract had been executed between the parties governing the relationship in its entirety.One of the terms of the contract specified that for individual orders in excess of 100 kg,a quantity discount of 15 percent would be applied to the purchase price.Since these were very favourable terms,Save-a-Lot regularly ordered quantities ranging between 500 and 700 kg of raisins to adequately supply all of its stores.After it had been purchasing raisins for over a year,Save-A-Lot received a note attached to its most recent invoice informing it that the contract was in error.The wholesaler's policy was that only purchases in excess of 1,000 kg were entitled to the quantity discount of 15 percent.The invoice showed the full amount owing for the most recent purchase of 650 kg with no discount applied and also a cumulative amount equal to the 15 percent discount that had been granted to Save-A-Lot on all previous orders.Save-A-Lot refused to pay the extra amount.
