Yeh I've had some odd subs in the past! No cauliflower rice so got carrots....Tesco seem to be struggling but got one on Asda for Saturday. Wonder what I’ll get delivered compared to what I ordered
The worst sub I got was a a large bag of Haribo starmix in place of 2 blocks of JellyYeh I've had some odd subs in the past! No cauliflower rice so got carrots....
Swapped my yogurts for ice cream (eh?!)
Best one... none of my girly shower gel in stock, replaced for
Mens shaving gel. I shit you not!
My best sub was toothpaste instead of toothbrush - erm what did they think I was going to use the toothpaste on??Yeh I've had some odd subs in the past! No cauliflower rice so got carrots....

Haha that’s brilliant. Someone needs to make a blog or instagram account about these if they haven’t already. I used to have a laugh with my dad about it when online shopping first became a thing. Can’t believe they haven’t improved their substitution algorithm....i remember one time getting meat sausages as replacement for Linda McCartney vegetarian ones which is plainly absurd. Cotton wool buds for tampons is much funnier though!My worst one was cotton wool buds instead of tampons.
Switched off subs after that

That is brilliant.I ordered a small Air fryer from asda with my groceries. Think it's was around £20. It was sold out so they sent me two mini deep fat fryers in substitution. I was astoundedView attachment 94542
That is genius, especially as they gave two 1.2L capacity deep fat friers to sub for the 1.5L air fryer so you didn't lose on any capacityI ordered a small Air fryer from asda with my groceries.

Oo sounds like the ideal job for Prince Harry!As an ex picker for a supermarket, i can honestly say it all depends on who picks your items! Some of the people had no common sense and didn’t use their brain when it comes to subs. Most of the time you’d get a suitable sub come up on your handset so you’d go and get that but other times it was bizarre so those of us with common sense would ignore it and choose something suitable, other people would just choose that itemFor example, you wouldn’t have any fresh lasagnes in stock, the sub would be a tikka masala, those with common sense would get a frozen lasagne but the dim amongst us would get the tikka masala
