For the first time ever ...

I have had an incomplete Sainsbury's delivery. They had no Wiltshire Ham, Second Class Stamps, Brussels Pate, Queen Olives or Jam Doughnuts! What is the world coming to??

They did have all the exciting stuff though - Bleach, Washing Up Liquid, J Cloths, and Cat Food.

Hmm - J Cloth and Whiskas sandwiches? Maybe not!

The smaller independent stores around here seem not to have any supply shortages, although prices are higher.

Re: For the first time ever ...

I know it probably can't be helped, but it is still frustrating when items you've been waiting for are missing from an order, even more so when it is ingredients to make something.
I guess its a chance we take when we put our orders in.
You'll have to dunk a biccy instead of having a nice doughnut, Tabs.

Re: For the first time ever ...

That’s why there’s a tick box in Sainsburys online for Substitutes except in the case of some items I wonder what the pick and packer might choose lol ?
I only tick for a sub for the Taste The Difference potatoes , Hovis Wheatgerm bread and Sainsburys SS 2 pint milk .
With Tesco who I also use , it’s a bit different , there’s a Note next to Substitute box so you can make your own request .

I used Tesco quite successfully, until they ran out of slots for the next two weeks. I switched to Morrisons who forgot my salad (no replacement), so I tried Asda - incomplete delivery but still charged full whack. Running out of options now

We get most of our stuff from Aldı and Home Bargains. Only a 5 minute walk. Good quality at reasonable prices. We tried to book a slot from Tesco at the beginning of the lockdown with no success.

Re: For the first time ever ...

I got some lovely jam donuts today and some Wiltshire ham. Oh, and I bought some stamps while I was there too.
