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?

You can search past orders i think on Tesco

There is quite a few items on my “favourites” that I have never bought before. So it’s probably them just trying to promote it.. very expensive item to promote though tbf 😂

I am a random Tesco shopper rather than regular, and quite often items are suggested which are 'seasonal' not 'you buy this and need more'. Could it just be an Easter offer?

I don't shop at Tesco often but checked my favourites and it's everything I have ever bought using my club card and no additional items.

Tesco regularly puts premium products among your favourites in the hopes that you will go down the list clicking Add on everything.

When we were a vegetarian household we regularly had meat items artificially inserted into our favourites list - the algorithm assumed it was more likely that we were meateaters who used a local butcher rather than being actually veggie.

That must be customer dependent, I have pages of favourites but not one thing that I haven't actually bought.

I can see though that they might do it for market research/data on whether customers are tempted by suggestions

I normally do self checkouts and a few times someone on the next till has asked if they could use my clubcard as had forgotten theirs / couldn’t get it up on the app. It could be something really simple like that. I wouldn’t jump to an affair tbh.

I mean, this is going to sound really obvious, but do you even share a Clubcard?

I’m a pretty loyal Tesco shopper. Except on holiday when it’s not an option, I don’t think we’ve done a weekly shop anywhere else for nearly 20 years. But my Clubcard is in my name and Dh has his. Nothing he bought with his would show up on mine and vice versa. Does he use your card?

That said, I’ve looked at my Favourites on Tesco and it’s literally just everything I ever purchased all the way back through the hand sanitizer I was ordering during COVID.

Are you sure one of you has bought nice champagne for a wedding gift or leaving party for work at some point in the past 5 years? I honestly couldn’t tell you if I have, but I know I’m often adding a bottle of fancy gin or scotch to the order because it’s BIL’s birthday or dh’s best mate or MIL’s retirement party or whatever. It’s memorable to me only because I don’t drink, so don’t often order alcohol. But I wouldn’t remember all the times since like 2019.

He’d be pretty dumb to be buying posh champagne for the OW on his wife’s Tesco Clubcard! I might wonder when I bought it if I saw it, but an affair would never be where my mind went. Is there a reason that’s what you thought?

Yes - one family one card

If you don’t suspect him of cheating, what are you suspicious about?

I sometimes pop to Tescos. I never carry my club card. I like champagne. I hate to pay full price. I ask the person before or after me to scan their club card so that I get the club card price and they get my points. Maybe it was me! I shouldn't worry if you have a nice husband. Maybe he helped someone like me out.
