My pet hate is having to defrost both freezers. Got it down to a fine art but still have to wait for the first one to get down to the right level before I can decant everything across and attack the second one.

Credit card companies. They can debit your account in a second, but a credit takes several days to apply...

Next door neighbours lost their 6 week old baby Friday night. I can not imagine what they are going through. They are such a lovely couple. There is no rhyme or reason to life so very very sad. Certainly puts my worries about the cost of living in perspective for sure

Roast potatoes instead of chips? 10 fish fingers instead of 30? 8 mature less fat cheese slices instead of 10 MILD cheese slices?

Yes I guess it does sound petty BUT it does mean I have to go out and actually buy what I want which is what I was trying to avoid.

Never mind the 10 other substitutions I will accept because it just makes me have to go out and buy in person if I don't.Which would defeat the whole point of ordering online.

Sorry for the rant.

As I recall, Asda let you set substitution products (as well as turn them off).

if you order say an 8 pack of Richmond sausages, but pick a different 8 pack the scanner makes a weird noise and they have to re do.
