No politics please. Don't be a dick.

We're at the end of our rope with Asda. Everything is being substituted, and we're fine with that when it's just another brand of the same thing but like they're sending entirely different vegetables to the ones we need, they're substituting meat-free ordered items with actual meatballs, etc etc. It's got the point where the delivery guy just apologises sadly every week.

It's possible to set "do not substitute" on everything but it's a ballache, and then we'd still have to go shopping anyway since half our order would still be missing.

So. Which supermarkets actually deliver most of what you order? Or at the very least, have a sane policy of substitutions?

Thanks!

Edit: Added a cute dog pic for a bit of extra casualness.

Whilst it is far from my favourite activity I have always preferred going and doing it for myself, one main reason being the ability to choose my own meats or fresh produce etc so I am secretly glad that supermarkets fucking suck and it forced my gf to see the benefits of actually going there ourselves :D

Bah. If I'm being dragged to the shops I am definitely getting some sort of cake as a reward! ๐Ÿ˜†

I don't blame you to be fair, they are hell holes of civilisation reminding you why you dislike other people so much. I hope by cake you mean whole Sara Lee double chocolate gateux xD

Well now you've mentioned it. Let's add one to the list for next week and see what actually turns up...
