into the bargain
As a bonus
In addition to what has already been mentioned or agreed upon—an extra benefit or sometimes burden beyond the main transaction: The house came with a view, and a garden into the bargain.
The phrase emphasizes that something is thrown in on top of everything else: He was rude, incompetent, and late into the bargain.
