To be Freaked Out by Sainsbury's Doing This?

PassataQueenofBritain · 05/12/2020 12:57

Has anyone else had a mailshot from Sainsbury's with a mini advent calendar of vouchers in it?

Apparently (according to this) I was the No. 1 top buyer of passata this year Shock

Really? In the whole of the UK? We're a family of 4, so we're not feeding the 5000 or anything...

I'm a bit freaked out that Sainsbury's think I want to know this.

And actually, I'd rather have a spreadsheet showing my ranking on all the other 750 different products I apparently bought this year! [boggles] (I did lockdown shopping for MIL and two other elderly neighbours Grin)

YANBU- we know companies do this, but don't flaunt it in our faces!
YABU- that's what you get for succumbing to 'loyalty' cards!

@Cygne

Anyone else had a vision of OP staggering out of Sainsbury's with two trolleys-full of passata to stock up her passata hoard?
I'm now imagining her sitting in an alleyway, glugging passata out of the bottle, wrapped in a paper bag. Or sneakily filling up a water bottle with passata and taking sneaky sips at work so nobody finds out about her crippling passata addiction.

@PassataQueenofBritain

Ahem, I may have a bit of a prepping thing going on... *@GroundAlmonds* We live in a flat though, so my stash isn't that big.
Check the shed, the car boot and behind the kick boards and bath panel Wink

It's creepy and has a big brother feel about.

We know who you are and we are keeping a track on your purchasing choices. Not a good use of customer data at all.

dottiedodah · 05/12/2020 16:36

We apparently are the largest buyers of their super seeded loaves. Thats 2 packed lunches for DH/DS and my DDs sandwiches.Always knew we were a sandwich loving family! Liked it ,looking forward to another window to open this week .(Dont get out much!) Oh wasnt there some sort of a pandemic going around or something! Seriously ,Well done SB .Have shopped in there for what seems like forever and go a couple of times a week for milk and oh yes er Bread?!

MrsGrindah · 05/12/2020 16:39

Well I walked into my local branch last night and asked for a bottle of Bombay Sapphire , and the guy said “ You love this stuff don’t you?”

I slinked out, as they say.

loutypips · 05/12/2020 16:41

@PassataQueenofBritain oh I use passata for everything! I would think that I might be buying the same as you!

Blimeyoreilly2020 · 05/12/2020 16:42

OMG, haven’t read the full thread but have come on to say there is NO WAY you can have bought more passata than me this year😳🤣🤣🤣!! Where are my vouchers?🤬....have been locked down with 4 kids plus OH and eldest teenager is allergic to dairy so almost every sauce I make is tomato based.....Seriously WTF🤷🏼‍♀️

Blackberrycream · 05/12/2020 16:42

This is really funny. I would be a bit freaked out too! I think I would be very high for Sainsbury’s own jars of sliced jalapeños. They make lovely quesadillas mixed with cheese in a tortilla sandwich and cooked in a cast iron pan.

PassataQueenofBritain · 05/12/2020 16:42

Shock wow mrsgrindah that's a bit overpersonal, isn't it?

Haha we have over £500 worth of nectar points. But we have only ever redeemed them once before when we bought a tv.

Watto1 · 05/12/2020 16:46

I’m the top buyer of Sainsbury’s own brand apple pie in our local store. Feel slightly ashamed Blush

MrsGrindah · 05/12/2020 16:47

PassataYeah I thought so too .

Bohemond · 05/12/2020 16:48

I am rather proud to be the biggest buyer of avocados at Bridgwater M&S Grin

Donotlikemyname · 05/12/2020 16:51

They all seem to be very healthy or nice foods that people are purchasing, what about the slightly less glamorous cheese strings, pickled onions, mushy peas, do people not buy these in Sainsbury’s.
Does a top shagger award go to the biggest purchaser of condoms, what about chronic piles sufferers. Don’t think I like these companies knowing all my guilty habits.

Pineapplemonkey · 05/12/2020 16:52

I’m disappointed I haven’t received one of these, I love this kind of thing.

The highlight of this week was when I received the Spotify equivalent, maybe Sainsburys should follow suit, Spotify provided me with a playlist of my top 100 songs (as well as a very entertaining montage type thing), my top 100 Sainsburys products would be a nice Christmas gift!

PickAChew · 05/12/2020 16:53

I've noticed a move towards this. Apparently I was the 13th biggest buyer of burgers in our local markses in August Hmm

Haworthia · 05/12/2020 16:55

You’ll be the top buyer of passata in your store Grin

Last year I was the no.2 buyer of almond milk in my local.

@PassataQueenofBritain will you be adding this remarkable achievement to your CV? Seems a shame to pass at a great opportunity. Grin

TreacleHart · 05/12/2020 17:19

I think I'm in the running at being pretty high up for cat treats

PassataQueenofBritain · 05/12/2020 17:23

Aw @Haworthia you're disillusioning me. It is a very large store...

PassataQueenofBritain · 05/12/2020 17:23

@TreacleHart yours should be treacle, or treacle tarts!

What! I have a delivery pass with Sainsbury's but don't have an email. Where's mine?!
