I’d love to meet the person that picks my supermarket order ?

Merlot - that’s beyond the pale!

I'd like to meet the person who thinks Blue Nun is a suitable substitute for Sauvignon Blanc. hmm

Perhaps they thought you’d appreciate the healthy option Mamissimo. (The corn on the cob that is not the Winalot. Although...)

Mini corn on the cob would go well with steaks. Seems a very reasonable substitution.
Cake instead of bread not so much but it's at least its a baked item.
I'm glad I do my own shopping.

Tofu instead of my leak and onion sausages.

Think it wasn't a pick error, I think I got the wrong order!

I once got chocolate cake instead of bread. Not the end of the world but it made the ham sandwiches taste funny.

@Mamissimo That was me! I thought you might like a change. Just kidding, of course. smile We once got lemon washing up liquid instead of lemons. Hmm...

I got some dog chews once instead of handwash (I don't have a dog)

Sometimes my online order is picked by someone who ‘gets’ what I’m planning and gives me sensible substitutions if they have to.....today I am perplexed!

I ordered battered onion rings to go with the steaks in my order......and they’ve sent me 6 mini corn on the cob! Not quite in the same league as the packet of Winalot I received in lieu of Sugar Puffs once ?

Have others suffered similar fickle picking?
