Considering my Wife and I share a single credit/debit card they must think I'm a real fruit, what with all the Victoria Secret, Motherhood maternity and etc lately. Since we got married about 6 months ago, our purchases have tended to be polar opposite. I buy things we need like new computers, routers and other doohickeys. She buys frivolous things like groceries (who needs groceries when 5 buck pizza delivers), and clothes. *sigh* I hope they don't get there marketing data too screwed up :)
