Ah, well I've sent 12 bottles back thanks to Sainsbury's crap substitution policy. I ordered 6 x 6 bottles. But it turns out of that if they only have 5 bottles of a wine in stock, they give you one bottle of something else, and don't give you the 25% off any of them.

Re: What have you just bought?
The single item does not have to be the same as the other five to get the 25% - but they should replace it with an item in the 6 for 25% offer.
It is any 6 items in the 25% offer than can be chosen - doesn't have to be 6 of the same. Most bottles of £6 or over are in the offer.
It would normally be a manual picker error if you got provided a bottle not in the offer.

They have previously done offers like that, but this time all 6 had to be the same.
The driver told me the pickers don't get any choice in what to substitute. Their PDA tells them what to pick.

Re: What have you just bought?
Tesco just delivered my weekly shopping. I did not allow subs. So I got 2 Golden Virginia tobacco and nothing else. My Tesco is the largest in the UK (just checked, not true anymore), WTF?

Re: What have you just bought?
My wife works there - she has no idea how the substituition logic works. We've sometimes had the same flavour of a totally different product sent.
Some of their search logic on their website is odd too.

Yes, he did mention gravy being sent as a substitute for Yorkshire puddings

Re: What have you just bought?
A large bag of 10mm gravel to finish off the top of a wall that I'm rebuilding. Some of the original topping is still there at each end but I want the new work in the middle to blend in.

Re: What have you just bought?
The wine I normally buy from Asda has had the new tax applied. Up by 17p in Wales, so saved a couple of quid by bulk-buying on Monday.

Ditto, but I am not ashamed of drinking red wine at home, rather than throw money at pub landlords and restaurants owners. It's my only "vice" these days, so fully expect the puritans to push politicians to wean me off it by financial bullying.
