Mums reveal the most hilarious substitutions found in their Tesco and Asda shopping deliveries - including condoms instead of a pregnancy test and a Twix instead of Tampax

During the global coronavirus pandemic we have relied on shopping deliveries and collections more than ever.

And as convenient and helpful as the supermarkets make it - they don't always get it right, as some parents have hilariously discovered.

One mum posed the question to other parents asking which items in their shopping basket have been substituted for something totally random - and the answers are somewhere between hilarious to totally baffling.

Posting on the  Family Lockdown Tips and Ideas Facebook page, Natalie Stanvridge said: "Just had my Tesco shop and had my bread loaf tin substituted with a cooling rack

'With this in mind what weird substitutions have you guys had with your online shop. I need a laugh today."

The mum's post gained more than 3,000 comments revealing hysterical and baffling mix-ups, including condoms instead of a pregnancy test and a Twix instead of Tampax.

One mum said: "I wanted toilet rolls and they substituted them for hoola hoops."

Another said: "I ordered cat food and they replaced it with dog food haha."

One baffled woman added: "Tena lady instead of Sure Deodorant."
