Substitutes

Substitute - instead of ... in the place of...an alternative

Splenda...sugar;

Margarine...Butter;

Coke...Pepsi...Dr. Pepper?

Silk...Milk

Instead of sugar - Splenda; 

Instead of Butter - margarine; 

Instead of milk - Silk;

Instead of being there - skype.

This is not a mark against substitutes - some of my more memorable teachers were substitutes.

Substitutes, instead of, alternatives have their place
