Online shop is dogshite. I gave Ocado a go thinking "hey maybe it'll be cheaper and more convenient".

After a few trials, I've never been more disappointed:

• fruit and veg -- simply lower quantities and smaller items, but dressed up in fancy packaging.
• online checkout is made deliberately confusing and you can't sort items by cost on purpose.
• delivery window is given in increments of 30 minutes, but you can still be waiting up to 2 hours for the driver to come past the window
• substitutions happen with 10 minutes of delivery, and are always the crap you see above in your image that have almost nothing to do with the item!
• It's not cheaper!

Genuinely, a trip to LIDL for a weekly shop will not make your eyes water, and that's what I'm sticking to from now on

For the past 6 months or so, my usual supermarket hasn't once been able to deliver me full fat coconut milk. But they've usually given me the light version instead as a replacement. But this weeks replacement isn't even close!

Also, could they not have given me a different brand of plum tomatoes?

Your image tickled me, because I've had coconut milk subbed for chopped tomatoes a few times lately.

My weirdest one was definitely sage and onion stuffing mix, subbed for a box of suet. 😬

I wanted marshmallows and they gave powdered milk. And not strange buy why - I ordered 3 veg. baby corn, broccoli and green beans. - I got three packs of half corn cobs, who does not want 12 corn cobs on their ramen.

Avocados for an Aubergine.

I mean, they're vaguely similar in shape, sort of, and colour, not really but sometimes they're both dark, and they both begin with A, but no-one enjoyed the guacamole at our party 😞

During COVID I got sick and ordered a 12 or 24 pack of Gatorade to stay hydrated. I selected no sugar and I think "blue" flavor and allow for substitutions expecting maybe a different favor or at worst the regular Gatorade or some Powerade. The delivery guy substituted it with a single 600ml coke

A lot of other stuff from the list he didn't even bother to substitute, just marked it as unavailable so I only got like 3 things delivered, including the single coke

I called a friend to help me with my groceries and he was able to find most of the stuff at the same store a few hours later

See this is why I always disable substitutions.

Not me, but in the early days of Sainsbury's delivery service, a friend had ordered lemons and they got subbed with lemon-scented washing-up liquid.

I use delivery. It means I can do my weekly shop while sitting on my arse at home instead of rubbing shoulders with hoi polloi.

nothing close to this tbh xD

Our glorious AI driven future.

The more supply chains break down, the more absurd this is going to get.
