It doesn’t make sense to me and I’ve got three grocery stores and a walmart within miles of me.

Do you regularly use their ads to compare prices and select what to buy at each one, or generally stick to one place with a few trips to another one?

I shop for convenience and brands I prefer. One store has some items I prefer over the others. That’s to say I shop like a normal person.

Normal based on what? The ads exist because plenty of normal people use them to decide where to buy things or certain items. If they didn’t bring people in the stores wouldn’t bother.
