    I was happy with my 2x small vine tomato packs that Tescos substituted yesterday (totalling £2) - I got 3 packs of normal vine tomatoes costing £5.40! (I wasn't sure why they sent 3 packs to substitute 2 packs but all good!).:T

    I ordered a large pot of low fat natural yoghurt, cumin, dried coriander etc, to do a curry. All the spices were OK, but I don't think the large pot of strawberry yoghurt that came with it would be overly useful.
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....

    the best substitution ever was Solksjaer for Cole in the champion's league final in 1999
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    All of my subs have been quite sensible. Probably the best one was just before Xmas, I'd ordered a couple of little packets of sweets to put in the kids' stockings and they subbed them with quite big tubs of dolly mixtures which were quite a bit more expensive.
