Work out how much you are going to spend. Take the cash out of the cashpoint at the entrance. Shop.Don't use a clubcard. The rewards are terrible and the risks not worth it.
I'm not entirely sure exactly *what* the risk is of Tesco 'knowing' that I like to buy their juice and that I sometimes need to by houshold cleaning products is. I mean, the checkout person knows anyway so I can't be buying dodgy/illegal combinations of things and expecting no-one to notice ever, and besides, Tesco doesn't *sell* anything that I'm not allowed to buy...
I'm not sure that I *want* Tesco, or anyone else, keeping these records. But so long as all they are doing with them is *advertising* (and I don't see what else they really can do) then I will continue to through the spam in the spam bin and my life will not change one bit. Except that it is possible that I will get relevent spam... the advantage of having Tesco know what I buy from them is that their website knows what I bought in store. So I don't have to hunt, not a problem.
Maybe I have a wild imagination but the thought of a computer somewhere having all that personal information on my tastes and habits doesnt make me feel secure.
