Tesco Grocery shopping online – Favourites List = annoying

Is there anyone else out there who has a problem with the “Favourites List” on Tesco online shopping?
My idea of a favourite list is where you specifically choose items that are your favourites, i.e. items you buy regular; instead Tesco Favourites consists of EVERY single item ever ordered. :mad:
This to me is not useful at all. I am a regular shopper and often enough I buy stuff that is on offer so therefore not my regular used items and currently I have about 9 types of apples in my list, not to mention how many different types of bubble bath, air freshener etc. Therefore each week I have to trail through the ever increasing list to find items I want to order. :mad: You do have the option to go through and delete items but this is so time consuming as you have to do it one by one.
I feel there should be the option to “set as favourite”, therefore creating a list of things that are bought regular and a bonus would be an option to “add all favourites to shopping basket” – if I recall Asda or Sainsbury’s have a similar facility.
Please reply if you feel the same way and if you feel that this facility would be of benefit to you.

No, I like it the way it is, searching through loads of items is fun

Hi - I always use my previous order list as a starting point - as, as you say, the favourites list can get long and I don't often sort it out - why should we have to?Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. -- Sally Koch0

Yes, it would be better than what it is currently, more convenientThe favourites list should be just the things we have bought more than a few times in a year - I had birthday cake candles listed as a favourite on my tesco page.I sometimes go through my favourites and weed out the ones I don't use, but things like different varieties of apples I leave on there as one of them might be on special.
I've noticed the special offers list has become massive lately too - it takes ages to look through it before I go onto my main shopping - before I'd pick out the special offers I'd use then move to my main shop, to do that now takes longer than going and doing the shopping myself.;) I don't suppose it's deliberate to get me to skip a few special offers, is it?:pMember of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19
