To be amused and slightly offended by this bit of "targeted marketing" from tesco? (Lighthearted)

Just received an envelope announcing vouchers selected just for me which included vouchers for wine, chocolate fingers and a free type 2 diabetes check! At least there was one for bagged salad as well!

(I am 32, fit and healthy and a normal BMI)

What's the most bizarre bit if junk mail you have received recently?!

I think it was Krispy Kreme and then toothpaste...but I looked for it too, lol

Coupons for joining (the US equivalent of) SAGA.

I was 31.

Whole pineapple, granola, bagged apples, milk and salad.

I got the type 2 diabetes check one too.

Although I did get a free pack of bacon, 20p off a pastry from the bakery, money off Jaffa cakes and something off Dr Pepper.

They might not be wrong in my case. Blush

A fantastic one from Tesco for parents life insurance. it's valid for just the first year of your child's life. Dd turns one next week. I think I'll pass.

I didn't get wine or diabetes checks. Fishfingers and Branston for me.

Quite grumpy at no cheap wine.

ShadowStar · 26/09/2014 16:48

Seems odd to offer you chocolate alongside the diabetes test. But not offensive.

SilentBob · 26/09/2014 16:51

I got nothing :( I want wine vouchers!

I did once, however, receive a "sorry we missed you" card and traipsed allllllll the way to the post office for it. Half an hour's walk later, I picked up...a free trial pack of Huggies nappies. My daughter was 5 years old. Hmm

ooerrmissus · 26/09/2014 16:51

What! I got the diabetes check but no wine of chocolate. Clearly they have never met me.

Liger123 · 26/09/2014 18:27

Haha tabula at least I wasn't the only one Blush

Sparklypants · 26/09/2014 19:27

Yup, I got the diabetes check too. I'm mid 30s so maybe they're targeting us 'oldies' Grin

I also got FREE BACON!!!! Whoop

I thought it was extremely funny that last week the day my period started I got personalised Tesco vouchers for tampax and cava!! And then I got very paranoid - just how well do they know me?!

MaidOfStars · 29/09/2014 10:25

My Tesco vouchers are automatically converted to another reward scheme these days, but I used to get stuff that matched my shopping habits.

I did notice a faintly annoying placement a few weeks ago - a strip of Nurofen Period painkiller things on the cleaning product aisle. However, the week after they had been put next to the beer, and my annoyance dissipated.
