This nectar stats thing is so embarrassing... our top purchase AND our number 3 purchase were different brands of butter....

Nothing wrong with butter 😋!

I just looked at my top three which were bananas, peanuts and ginger nuts. I shopped with them 5 times last year!!

That's quite an eclectic mix! Apparently I shopped 79 times 😮 I'm guessing that includes petrol as well, but that's still a lot - especially when I buy most of my food elsewhere and BF was doing my Sainsbury's shopping at the start of the first lockdown (and scanning his own Nectar card)!

I take your red onions and raise you - apparently I was the number 2 buyer of Bernard Matthews BBQ turkey breast in our store last year and our top 3 products were the bbq turkey, cheese and bread.  DH went through a phase of eating 3 packs of the turkey each week as part of his lunch, followed by cheese sandwiches.  He's now onto BBQ popchips (well the sainsbury own brand ones) so I'm guessing they'll feature heavily in this year's review.

Laughing at all your purchases! I confess I deleted the nectar app after it just kept malfunctioning and not showing me anything, so I have no idea what ours are. We do occasionally pop to the little Sainsburys, maybe once or twice a fortnight - at a guess I'd say our number one purchases is apples

Ah, now see I'm still working through the apple stash from BF's trees in the summer. Looking at the trees now, it's amazing to think they produced anything at all as they're all shrivelled up and grumpy for winter. Go nature!

Now I'm curious how much the #1 buyer of turkey breast was, and how much they were buying if it was more than 3 packs a week 🤔? Sainsbury's, we need answers!

I know!  I find it fascinating looking at what other people buy in the supermarket - will never forget the time I bumped into a couple of nuns from my school (went to an all girl's catholic high school) in the supermarket and literally the trolley was just filled with alcohol and minimal actual food.  They said that was all they needed to get by, and when we were leaving the school (at 16) they invited a few of us to the convent for lunch and tried to give us sherry or whiskey because that's what they always had with lunch so we should partake as well

Love it 🤣! I know what you mean though, I do enjoy a sideways glance at other peoples' shopping on the conveyor - a definite downside of self-checkouts, much less opportunity for nosiness!

Surpassed myself on the exercise front today - nipped to Sainsbury's (I needed an onion, obvs 🤣), grabbed my shopping, scanned it all....then realised I didn't have my handbag with me 😮 Very sheepishly flagged down the woman overseeing the checkouts and told her I couldn't pay, then jogged back to the car and most of the way back (couldn't manage it all!) Fortunately it was still in the car and not lost forever, but I was pretty mortified!

I take your red onions and turkey breasts and raise both of you....

My top three items were semi skimmed milk, tenderstem broccoli and ketchup My family have found it hilarious that I was the #1 purchaser of ketchup - only 2/6 of us eat it and 1 of those was at uni for around 4-5months of the year

Ketchup! Love it 🤣! Kudos to you for being the top purchaser - albeit for no apparent good reason 🤔!
