I tend to get the opposite at A&P and ShopRite.  Whatever I buy, I tend to
get coupons based on what I'm buying at that time, but for the competitor's
product.  If I buy Gerber's baby food, I will get a coupon for BeechNut.  If
I buy a box of Kellog's cereal, I'll get a coupon for General Mills.  And so
on.
