How did advertisers know what I bought at the store yesterday?

I don’t use any social media or shopping apps. I went to the store yesterday and bought a particular item. Today I see ads for that item when I’ve never seen ads for that item before. how exactly my phone is letting advertisers know what I bought?

Did you pay with a card? Do you have one of the store’s sales cards (like what grocery stores have)? Either of these could be tracking your sales data, selling it, and correlating it with your online identity.
