Man mortified after his secret Tesco purchases were exposed thanks to Clubcard app

He was left red-faced after his eating habits were exposed via his wife's Clubcard app - revealing a huge amount of one particular bakery item he enjoys before work

A man has been busted by his wife after his sneaky supermarket snack habit was exposed on her mobile phone.

Taking to Reddit, he shared a screenshot from his other half's device, showing his top purchases of 2024, revealed by the Tesco Clubcard app. "Tesco grassed me up to my wife's Clubcard app," he grumbled, alongside the image of his top three most-bought items in 2024.

The list showed he'd splashed out on a staggering 411 cinnamon swirls from the store's bakery and guzzled down 258 cans of sugar-free Red Bull over the course of the past 12 months. And proving he must be thirsty before work in a morning, the man also seemed to have a thing for Diet Coke, snapping up 219 cans in the same period.

When quizzed by a fellow Redditor about his cinnamon swirl spree, he admitted: "I like two or three whenever I go to the shop before work, but I don't even like them that much." He also confessed: "I sometimes leave the edges/crust though so it's not as bad as it looks."

But his love affair with the sweet treat doesn't stop at Tesco, it seems. For he boasted: "Also at weekends I sometimes get cinnamon swirls from the Co-op near my house. Let it be known that the Co-op's cinnamon swirl game absolutely embarrasses Tesco."

One person was left stunned, exclaiming: "This is absolutely unhinged behaviour, 411 of them and you often waste part of it because they're not that good. What would the numbers be like if you loved them?"

Another Reddit user sympathised with the man's sweet tooth, meanwhile, confessing: "I have a serious sugar problem and looked to see how many KitKats I bought last year. I'm ashamed to say it was over 900 KitKats."

He added: "So far only had 24 this year and I've managed to have the willpower not to order any. I did calorie and nutrient tracking for a week and I had just over 4x the amount of sugar intake. Now I'm down to 1.5x."

In a similar vein but one in which the tables had been turned, another person shared his own experience, joking: "You think that's bad, I share a Nectar app with my wife, a few days I found out she's our town's number one cherry Pepsi buyer. She out bought the whole town... I'm thinking rehab is needed."

Elsewhere, concerned member of the CasualUK subreddit community issued a health warning to the man, stating: "You are literally eating a slow moving bullet to the heart," they said. "These are treats. Like, deserts. From an Internet stranger to another, you really need to have a serious talk with yourself. At the very least just get some caffeine from loose leaf tea."

"I'm serious mate, this isn't a morning routine, this is slow diabetic/heart disease aided suicide if you keep this up. Much love, take care of yourself. Leave this routine to a cheat day or weekend at the very least."

Tesco has been approached for comment.
