Our local grocery store has a machine that prints coupons for you as you check out. It bases the particular coupons on the things you buy, and has a fairly good track record of choosing appropriate products. I just went to the store to pick something up for dinner for the kids. Our purchases were:
- (1) Bottle of sparkling grape juice. (The kids like to pretend its wine)
- (2) Bags of Doritos (they’re on sale buy one get one)
- (3) Kid Cuisine TV dinners.
And this is the coupon that printed out for me:
Don’t get me wrong, $2.00 off seems like a good deal and all, but I find the demographics a bit off…

Weird convergence, I was just contemplating something similar, but not as out there. This evening, I purchased
1) .25 lbs brown deli turkey

3) 1 croissant
4) 1 Squirt brand beverage
5) 1 bag Lays Kettle BBQ Chips
My printed out coupons - 1 free bag salad almonds and $1 Cotonelle TP. I don’t see the connections. I just don’t.
Maybe you could use the tampons for some science experiments?

Maybe they think anyone who buys kid cuisine items is a tampon user or has one in their life?

Keep one around in case you get a horrible nose bleed.
