Apples are not bananas!

Tesco have substituted my bananas with apples! I eat a banana every day, but apples are nothing like bananas, they are crunchy not soft and I can't bite them so would have to use a knife which hurts my arthritis. While I could maybe have an apple instead on one day, I don't know what to do with 12 apples.

I assume they had no bananas not even organic ones. They do seem to have some supply issues, which is a problem. Maybe I shall have to add a comment about if they have to sub to pick a soft fruit.

Annoying!

At least they now have lebkuchen which are my fave treat and I wish they had all year not just at Christmas.

  • It is a very difficult decision to decide whether or not to ask for substitutes. In this case I would have thought they would have had some bananas and would certainly not expect a different item of fruit. I think some supermarkets who have a rule you can have it at the same price, won't send it if they only have a more expensive one or they send a smaller amount. 

  • I think we have sometimes had something more expensive as a sub, but not often, but then we don't actually get subbed very often. I do find it more annoying if they don't even try, especially if we needed it for the meals we had planned and it leaves us short. Milk and bread are the most concerning if they did that. One can always refuse a sub if it isn't suitable, but if one hasn't been given the option when one has said one wants subs then one has no recourse.

    I always have subs on unless the thing is quite specific and we already have enough but just keeping some reserve.
