Targeted ads would be pointless for me because the nearest Target is in Cottage Grove and fuck driving to Cottage Grove. Man, I miss having a Target in-town. For a while all we had was a Wal-Mart, but now we at least have a Fleet Farm for weird shit.

My friend and I regularly tex, email, talk on the phone and IRL about what we lovingly refer to as "trash candy." 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?

Probably. I tend to use cash...

This local coffee roaster here in Portland has offered (starting Friday 11/11) to give me a free 5 lb bag of beans if I buy a 5 lb bag of beans for $65. 10 lbs of legit beans for $65. Can't say no. They ship too, so if anyone's interested, it's Cycle Town Coffee Roasters, and they're on IG.

Yeah I do a fair bit of online shopping since I live on the moon, and the ads love trying to tempt me with more of whatever I just bought.
