are you sure you didn't use the internet? maybe you looked up some info online? checked how much it costed online? maybe even added some stuff to a basket?
if so, it's probably retargeting. it looked like you were going to buy something online, but then you didn't, so now they're "following" you everywhere with these ads, in an attempt to make you buy it anyway.
have you tried clearing your cookies?

the worst thing about this phenomenon is that they throw ads at you after you just went there to purchase something. show some gratitude you butts.

wait till your purchases get aggregated to your medical file and when you when need a life-saving procedure done, they'll check to see if your purchasing habits may have lead to your condition and deny service.

Yep. The doctor will say, "Ate yourself into a diabetic coma? Lay there and die then, because I just checked your grocery store records and see you ate shit all your life". This must be what the Obama death panels will be like.
