Unshopping: you went to buy an item and returned with something quite different.

I went out to buy a new shirt and came back with a coffee table.

Edit:

On a more expensive occasion, went out for a coffee and came back with a separates hi-fi system...

Tired and in need of a rest from work I went out to book a week in the sun and came home with a round the world flight ticket, a membership to the YHA, a Backpack, a sleeping bag, a money belt some sturdy walking boots and subsequently took a year off work.

In 1986 I went to Nice to do the triathlon and came back with a wife.

You missed a trick here, you should have added a Fast Show style 'which was nice' on the end

I went out for a pair of pajamas and came back with a Greyhound.

The poor thing was wandering around with no collar looking a bit thin so I brought him home and called the GBGB. The jim jams waited for another day.
