To be Freaked Out by Sainsbury's Doing This?

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!

I was the #no2 buyer of loose closed cup mushrooms last year and i was determined to be #1 this year then covid hit and blew away all my hopes and dreams along with just about everything else.

We didn't get this. Perhaps just as well, I don't need reminding about my addiction to Natural Jelly Snakes.

I once had a card from Tesco thanking me for being their 16th best customer. I was like in the store? In the Uk? In the world???

@ShortStuff74

More important things to worry about going on in the world!
And yet you still felt the need to comment.

You should be proud! Imagine being the top of the leaderboard in a whole country! How cool

Is it wrong that I really want one now (I must be a joy for marketers).

I think its brilliant that you're number one for something as sophisticated as "passata". I guess not many people go the passata route, they use tins of tomatoes - although I'd expect there to be one big Italian family dominating passata sales, not someone who is surprised by it...

I'm desperate to know what my buying quirks are - am I the top buyer of something? lol

I want this now!

@Pineapplemonkey

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!

Spotify like to send me emails saying they have new music from artists I love - such as, apparently, Ludwig van Beethoven. Which would indeed be impressive.

@jakeyboy1 that's just cruelty! 16th best? And a card, not a voucher? Tesco are meanies!
