Dawn French is currently advertising a new 'fly buys' package here in Australia. She is sporting a new asymmetrical hair-do and seems very excited about the plastic card and its benefits. Dawn urges us to sign up to the programme as soon as we receive our new card. I did this today.
Whilst doing so, I was surprised to find that Coles supermarkets keeps a dossier on my purchases. In an off-shoot web page, Coles told me what I buy on special, spend the most on, and buy most often. I was 'shocked' to discover the following (drum roll please):
Products you buy when they are on special
Whiskas Cat Food 400g packs
Cadbury Block Chocolate, Old Gold
& Bar of Plenty 100 - 220g packs
Creative Gourmet Fruit 300g and 500g
packs
Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner
350mL packs
Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
220g - 1kg packs
Products you spend the most on
Whiskas Cat Food 400g packs
Tomatoes
Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
220g - 1kg packs
Strawberries and Blueberries
Sanitarium So Good Milk Soy Long
Life 1L packs
Products you buy most often
Cadbury Block Chocolate, Old Gold
& Bar of Plenty 100 - 220g packs
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Capsicums
Sanitarium So Good Milk Soy Long
Life 1L packs
I need to ask myself the following:
1. Why am I continuing to buy vast amounts of cat food, when he has been dead 4 months?
2. Why do I buy strawberries when they are out of season and at their most expensive?
3. Do I not need toilet paper?
4. Are the frozen fruit the same varieties as the fresh fruit?
I can also conclude that:
1. I stockpile nutella when it is on special as I do not buy it 'most often'.
2. If you come to my house for dinner you will get a platter of Cadbury Old Gold chocolate, some blueberries and a salad made out of mushroom and tomato. I will also offer you a milk drink, will attempt to wash your hair and will give you a take-home sachet of cat food.
3. I am a creature of habit.
4. Mr Cake must be buying all of the sensible food at another time.
Ahhh Nutella, we always say yes to Nutella!
