Supermarket substitutions

I only started doing online grocery shopping at the start of lockdown because I live with a vulnerable person. To be fair, Tesco have been good overall. However, in today's shopping they subbed Greek yoghurt for Natural yoghurt. These are not the same thing! Why not give me another brand of Greek yoghurt? If none available, then there are no appropriate substitutions.

I also bought 7+ month baby jar food. They subbed this for 10+ months baby food pouches! These are not the same thing. A 7 month old baby may not be able to eat 10+ months food pouches.

What interesting substitutions has everyone else received recently?

I ordered some sanitary towels (night time) and I was sent panty liners. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I refused to accept Lincolnshire sausages with Bits of herbs in instead of best English sausages.

I sent dh out for Greek yoghurt and he came back with natural yoghurt and is adamant it would do the same job in the curry I was making.

Tesco is gold because you can tick individual items for either ok to sub or not. Plus you can decline subs.
