Bit weirded out by this Clubcard thing

[jane103]

I wonder if anybody is an expert and can help?

I was doing my usual occasional Tesco order-I'm not totally loyal to the store and often shop around - and a couple of things came up on there on the Favourites bit that I certainly haven't bought - one being a bottle of expensive champagne. (We aren't talking Prosecco here)
I can quite clearly reassure myself that I've never bought champagne at Tesco in fact barely drink, certainly not vintage at £50. Could this be a computer error?

I think I'm gonna have to ask him.
i only really noticed because he's away on a sport weekends with some friends, and I cba to get dressed and go out , so I'll have to wait till tonight.

To be fair, in my experience, dogs absolutely love cat food so perhaps they thought it would be a better treat than the dog toys. Our dog used to do full on wistful eyes and begging look when we were feeding the cats.

He'd have to be a bit dumb to use his clubcard to buy fancy champagne for his OW.

This always seems to happen to me!! It's downright spooky the way your phone can read your thoughts 🤣

I have been on a diet for six months and was really craving a chocolate orange muffin just as a one off treat, got my delivery and they had sent me a glade chocolate candle 😂

Oh nooo!!! That's so disappointing!!

I've checked my "My Favourites". There are a few things in there that have beeb suggested by Tesco as alternatives, and a few things I'm sure I've put in my basket, but not checked out.

My partner is the ‘additional card holder’ on my Clubcard account and I never see recommends or items he has purchased on my acccount. We have very different diets / tastes so it would be obvious.

It might put your mind at ease that it’s more likely you have accidentally added the item to your basket in the past. But on the flip side, he could be buying, champagne, whipped cream and condoms and you would be none the wiser.

Who is going to be first to suggest that it isn’t really a sports trip. And he is off with OW and the champers??? Standard MN stuff

Forget Tesco finest, we have Mumsnet Finest detective agency. Did the government find out who was buying illegal Easter eggs in 2020 by demanding access to Tesco records? Every little helps.

Other half here uses my clubcard all the time for protein shakes and whey and that craic and it never shows up on my faves so tesco is a weird one.

This happened to a friend of mine - it was condoms. She never figured out if it was her husband or son. But decided to leave it.

My Favourites are very accurate, it’s things I regularly buy plus things from my recent shops. Don’t forget it includes in-store as well as online, as long as the Clubcard was used. I can see what my husband gets for his lunchtime meal deals

Mine isn't.

I just went and had a look, its just me using my club card. Not once have I bought cherries, I'm pretty allergic to them actually.

Yet apparently, they're my favourite.

I buy babybell cheese, not once have I bought cheesestrings....

I hope you’re joking 😂

Do people really read into this stuff or am I living in a happily naive little universe 😂

The funniest substitute I have read (on here probably) was a woman who ordered sanitary towels, they were out of stock so Tesco sent a massive bag of cat litter instead. I howled laughing at that one.

in isolation this is hardly concerning. He might have bought it as part of a collection at work or as a present for his parents or any number of perfectly reasonable explanations. The question is whether your first thought being cheating is because of other suspicions you have and whether they are reasonable.

Used to work at Clubcard - it’ll always be a mix of stuff you generally tend to buy, and stuff they want you to buy because it’s profitable for them.

Just checked mine, it's very accurate. It's got every type of wine I've ever bought. No champagne though.

My thoughts on reading this are that if you were in a good, loving relationship you would say to your partner ‘ooh who have you been sharing expensive champagne with’ or ‘I don’t know what Tesco are thinking, based on my likes they think I can afford a very pricey bottle of champagne (complete with eye roll)’ or something similar if you normally discuss shopping (I know, but some couples really do), or you would say nothing at all because who even registers this stuff right?

the fact that you think he has bought it, hidden it from you, potentially drunk it with someone else (etc etc etc…) and posted here about it says that you have reasons to distrust him in the first place so it’s not really about the champagne.

Have you ever secured an online order slot by checking out with a bottle of champagne only to not buy it? Or perhaps you bought it and handed it back to the delivery driver?

Most people would put this in Chat, you've put it in Relationships OP.

Are you actually Suspicious?

Call Tesco they can tell you when and where an item was purchased if the club card was used. I’ve done this myself to check on something .

Yeah, this. A lot of supermarkets seem to be pushing the 'Buy Lots Of Alcohol For Easter' thing in their advertising this year.

Very likely. Supermarkets have been trying very hard to push Easter like a second Christmas for years now. Even Lidl has got their whole Deluxe range out just now.
