What's the strangest "substitute" item you've been offered on your home delivery?

Thankfully not had anything out of the ordinary on my subs but this thread is interesting lol

I ordered a bag of those strawberry foam mushroom sweets and got a tin of button mushrooms instead , not much use for munching in front of the telly :rolleyes:

excellent thread!
out of interest, how often does this happen?! i'm considering doing my shopping online as i'm working longer hours & finishing later these days - but don't want the hassle of this happening every time!

I used to get one sub per Tesco delivery on average (approx £50 order). Given up ordering online as I hate Tesco fruit n veg and Asda are in my town but don't deliver so I'm doing my shopping the old fashioned way again. never had anything too weird - just caffine free coke instead of diet coke with almond type of thing. You can opt for no substitutes but then you just don't get your item!

loving this thread!

I usually use tesco or sainsburys and suppose i have been fairly lucky. I only usually get similar/yet more expensive substitutions

Thinking of starting shopping at asda for abit of a giggle

Love the tampax/twix post ...thats a classic

Tesco's are good with substitutions, Asda (on the rare occasion I use them) use the computer so have had some strange ones.

They sent Wotsits instead of Persil - my whites have never been the same since :rotfl:
