    I've had some great substitutions always in my favour, always price matched

    Small organic crunchy peanut butter on special offer £1. Substituted with large jar costing nearly £3

    Activia type yogurt on special, substituted with another type also on special, so price match was say half price and then special offer kicked in on the original substitution price = about 4p a bottle

    Cheapo lemonade was glitching small bottles in 6 pack was 30p the pack. Substituted for lemonade shandy 30p for 6 cans.(I'd ordered and got 5 cases !)
    I'm disappointed if I don't get a substitution these days
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)
    It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.

    I'm still driving away and I'm sorry everyday,
    I won't always love these selfish things.

    Not a substitution but I ended up with £6 worth of deli ham from Asda once- but still received the smartprice ham I had ordered!

    I ordered a box of huggies and they sent me 8 individual packets (£15 more !!) Asda just charge what they would have on the original request.BUT... out of 6 deliveries they have had to refund my delivery cost each time and have paid me 2 x £15 and 1 x £25 compo because of stupid omissions and being VERY, VERY late (4 hours + on the 1st occasion). Half my shopping missing on my Xmas delivery.

    If everyone got what I did they couldn't possibly make any money!

    Friend told me she ordered 5 bottles of Diet Coke. Tesco substituted with Diet Pepsi.

    Sometimes words don't even define...!

    Nice £9.99 metal sieve instead of the cheap and cheerful 99p one I ordered.
