To be unimpressed with this substitution

[Corrag]

I know these are difficult times but FFS Sainsburys! If I order a box of wine and it's not available, surely you should sub it for another box? Or perhaps 3 bottles so it's a similar amount. Not a single 18.7cl bottle. It's neither use nor ornament!

Corrag Just stick a straw in the bottle

I've got a delivery coming tomorrow. I'm getting worried. The order came to about £300 but just over rather than below. I have an email saying cost is £295 but the items they have listed don't add up to just over a fiver or for £295 so I have no clue what I am getting. I also can't remember what my substitution status is so..

A couple of years ago I got a run of weird substitutes from Tesco
Bananas seemed to be a particular problem, once got banana milkshake and once got banana yoghurt and once got sweets shaped like bananas.
Orange scented hand soap instead of oranges, fruit loaf instead of bagels and tuna cat food instead of tins of tuna.
I just thought it was staff having a laugh and back then you could refuse the substitutes on the doorstep
For the benefit of the fun police I don’t get deliveries now and I shop for 4 different households when I go to the supermarket once a week, so hopefully that entitles me to have a wee chuckle?

I once got subbed normal condoms with tingly ones. Jesus, after one use they went straight into the bin!

@Thelnebriati if only there was some left to stick a straw in, it barely touched the sides.

@SunshineCake I reckon you're getting an octopus.

I ordered some fun posters, but they got subbed for a few miserable sods who got lost on their way to the self flagellation and self righteous threads. They’re out that door and to the left. 👉🏻 🚪 ⤴️ Don’t let the door hit your miserable asses on the way out. 🙄

Thanks for all the additional msgs, esp those who've called me 'hun'. Please do check your grammar when messaging as the errors are irritating. Your/ you're, their/ there. Not really so complex but please do ask if you're unclear. As I said at the outset, it's been great for comedy value and we all know the truth! Lol!

You seem to spend an awful lot of time on here in general correcting peoples grammer. Aint you got nothing better to do?

Dont know how anyone could claim to be so bloody brilliant at 'English' when clearly they cant read the actual receipts from supermarkets posted on this thread!

@JustIgnoreTheMoanyCow they should go in the bin after one use anyway 🤣

Haven't read all this thread so sorry if already mentioned, and it's something that was posted on MN a few years ago.

Someone ordered Tampax and got a packet of Twix

I think we need a leaderboard. Whats worse;

Tiny wine
Twix for tampax.
Octopus.

They (Tesco) also replaced a chicken joint with one chicken curry!

What is a chicken joint?

LOL sorry a chicken breast like this

I don't think I've ever seen one of those, so I guess if I was the picker I wouldn't know what to sub with. But I'd probably assume a chicken breast fillet or something.

I ordered online last week with Sainsbury’s and wanted a bottle of Domestos bleach. It was substituted for a large bottle of Heineken. 😉

My best one was a box of condoms instead of a bottle of children’s bubble bath 😱

My order subs for today have just come through....

Ordered a Starbucks iced coffee drink and they've replaced with Costa Tassimo pods....!?

Okay, so I do happen to have a Tassimo, and quite like the Latte, but how did they know.....!?

They've also subbed and supersized all my 'healthy sweet stuff' with non essential but tastes 'so much better' crap

It's like they care....

I'll forgive them for the 'coleslaw/sushi' replacement.....its supersize 'tangfastic' day at mine anyway by the looks 👍

I need to alter the settings on my Sainsburys account, we finally managed to get a delivery on Saturday, our first since lockdown began.

We only had a few substitutions
Vegan mince was subbed for beef mince
4 bottles of san miquel were subbed 12 bottles
Encore wet cat food subbed for bonio dog biscuits

It is funny though.. and the fact “it is ok”to Supermarket shop online rather than go to the shops 😄😄 in these difficult times.. 🌈🌈😀🇬🇧

Some of these are funny.
(Fuck off fun sponges....)
Only delivery one I've had in lock down isn't funny. Just caged eggs because no free range available (yes I'm vulnerable).
The driver did take them back, I hadn't touched them.
But mostly half of what I'm ordering isn't being delivered, including milk 🙄

Thought I'd add my strangest lockdown sub, I ordered brocolli, I received Paw Patrol fromage frais

have noticed the sainsburys lack of wine subs in my click and collect - as if they didnt have any other sauvingon blanc at all in the store last week! Just before covid, when I didnt realise how bad things were going to get - I rejected a box of chardonnay subbed for a box of sauvingon blanc - how I would have loved that box of chardonnay last week lol!

@Tombero - they must have thought it was that Kit-e-kat cat food (or whatever it's called). How frustrating though 🤦‍♀️

Falafels instead of (veggie) meatballs and turnips instead of potatoes (ASDA). Now tick no substitutions

In other supermarket pickers crimes against wine I had by Sauvignon blanc subbed for Chardonnay 😩 surely there couldn’t have been no Sauvignon in the entire store! That got sent straight back and hubby got sent round to the shop (this was prior to the crisis when I could actually get a slot)
