Well at least Asda didn't cancel, the way the regular Ocado/Tesco did but sadly there are substitutions.
Instead of nutty cereal bars, they will provide maple, yuck, too sickly sweet for me, I'll hand them back..
Also no chicken spring rolls, just veggy, I'll see if I can hand them back, just to lower the overall price.
Then thirdly there was a dark green hand towel and bath towel, not a set but the price was good and as I can't shop right now in the market, this was a good solution.
Oh just checked, they don't sell saline solution, I'm on my last bottle soon, hmm..
I also wanted lip balm, but the bill was pretty high, few pounds more than I usually spend, so not great..
I didn't bother. The hand towel was £2, I doubt it would be cheaper, even in the market, and the green colour just looked premium and different.
Normally I might be tempted by red or purple, purple wasn't there but the green stood out.
The green bath towel was £4 (70x127), but they substituted for the dark blue, which is fine, same size, but would have been 40p more.
It's a tiny bit smaller, but the green didn't say 100% cotton. As long as it's nice and soft, that's what matters.
I also got some pimento olives and cherry stuffed cheese peppers, yum :)
I couldn't resist the proper baklawa for £2.40 ha. Oh and excitedly, they had wholemeal bagels, yay, healthier but tastes bland..
But I will load it with toppings. I also had to try Asda's version of the ice poles....
Good grief nowhere has Mr Freeze in stock, such a shame.
The Asda one is £1.20 x8 which is not bad, if they taste naturally fruity, which none of them seem to do...
For back up, I bought the milk lollies 8x £1.62. I can't remember Iceland prices but when needs must...
And I like the fact that unlike Tesco where the beauty stuff came differently and there was another delivery cost...
Sneaky, Asda just delivers it with the groceries, yay.
Next, I hope these are scented, 150ml Face Facts detox peptide cleanser £4 which is okish, price wise..
I've never heard of it, so a fun usage and review, later on in the month..
Plus, Garnier Vitamin C 200ml for £3.50. I don't know if I've used that but I wanted at least 2x face washes.
That's it, I forgot to buy crisps, arghh..
Oh and I saw the Asda version of Always max night, sanitary towels 95p for x10, bloody bargain, sorry, poor choice of words..
Had to try it. Then £4 chicken katsu dragon rolls lol. Got to sneak in some sushi, x6 I think it is..
The rest was just householdy and pasta.. Oh they did a sandwich meal deal, added it to my basket, looked at the overall price, removed it, got to budget!!
It's only 11amish, they are not due til 1pmish-2pmish. It was £3.75 for delivery, ouch, but couldn't get cheaper.
I keep thinking, I'm better, but the hand strain/sprain is getting worse, everytime I press on it, it's really painful.
I took out the bins and would have liked a longer sleep but I was just too wired wondering if Asda would cancel or deliver..
Next I might try someone else, I need the salines and lippy. If a regular grocery shopping order is the only way to do it then so be it.
Otherwise I'll ask Mama and pay her back. Ha, I just opened the substitute kleenex box, that looks pretty packed so it makes no sense they gave me 2x..
Maybe regular customers, get a lil special treatment here and there? Works for me :)
I think I was trying to keep the costs down, but they had the regular Magnums almond for £2ish I think but only 3x, not x4..
I prefer icepoles to keep my water cool and give it a splash of flavour..
Plus they are just cheaper.. I guess I'm also worried about getting an unhelpful driver..
What if I'm left packing it into bags, bending, it's gonna be so painful, especially in this delicate state...
Asda tracks but doesn't have a queue number, just says Soon, unless it's only in the last 20mins or 5mins?
Tracking was useless, arrived just before 1pm, the sullenest, unhelpful driver, so painful to do everything, bending and grabbing items, with my delicate body.
But got the refunds and totally forgot, I have leftovers. At least the majority came.
The hand towel is a nice big size, the bath towel is small but that's ok. They are both soft enough, not super but good quality.
Ooh the saucy chicken sushi is tasty, I don't know what the smothered sauce is, but I actually like it.
Faint hint of spice, which is fine. Just a katsu mayo, with red peppers, chives, onions and carrot inside, no wonder it's tasty..
I just tried the pesto chicken pasta, at first, barely any chicken, they should have made smaller clumps of it..
Then no pesto... Turns out it was on the bottom, but not much of it, actually for me, that's better, less is more.
I just added olives because it looked plain. I don't like leaves or cauliflower but it was quite nice actually.
A good amount of pasta, I'm stuffed. I'm so looking forward to the Morrison shop where I can load up on snacks, I hate having barely any..
