Nerds Ropes, Hot Tamales, Jujyfruits, Dots, &c. We both pretty much only buy these candies at Dollar Tree ($1.25) now. Occasionally I will buy at Target, but I do not use a phone number (I'm not a "club" member anywhere, or, if I do receive some benefit, I let the checkout person use theirs) when making purchases. Neither of us buys candy online. She recently started receiving Amazon ads for Nerds and associated candies. Now, she may use a phone number when purchasing, I haven't asked. I could swear our phones are listening.

Using a credit card/bank card for those purchases?
