Had my Tesco delivery tonight, 4 items unavailable and 14 substitutes 🤣 Most are fine, but inevitably there are things I've forgotten as well. So Co-op tonight or tomorrow for...

Pinot Noir (drank the bottle I bought while wrapping presents)
Bailey's (as above 🤣)
Brie
Dip selection
Profiteroles
Raspberries
Vanilla ice cream (subbed for chocolate 😡)
Good frozen chips
Azera coffee
Mayo and ketchup
